It may not seem like that big of a difference, but considering the amount of shots they take, that is a big difference. Lebron had an average of three more three-pointers per game and also had a higher 3-point percentage. Jordan played 6 fewer seasons than Lebron, but 8,000 points is a lot of points. Lebron was better in a lot of stats. Lebron had many more assists than MJ. MJ averaged 5.3 assists per game. LeBron James averages 7.4 assists per game. He also gets more rebounds per game than MJ ever did. LeBron averages around 7.5 rebounds per game, while MJ averages 6.2 per game. I think overall, Lebron was better at being a team player than MJ. MJ had all the people on his team to do the work for him. Michael Jordan wasn’t even the best person on the team in some years.

Some people criticize Lebron for his record in his championships, which is 4-6, but he has also played with 31 Hall of Famers in his NBA Finals appearances. Jordan played against an average of 1 or 2 Hall of Famers on each team in his Finals appearances, while Lebron has to go up against an average of about 3-4 per team. Lebron may have also had a decent team, but it was nothing like the team Jordan had when he was playing. Of course, there are a few reasons why some people may think Jordan is better. It may be just for some people that they grew up watching Jordan instead of growing up watching LeBron. There are some key stats that Jordan is better than Lebron though. Of course, the most notable one is his championships, but I backed that up in the last paragraph on why I think that shouldn’t determine why they think MJ is better. Jordan did have a few more points per game than LeBron
