Jordan v. LeBron . . . Put to Rest


Weekly DBSF is pulled into the LeBron-Jordan debate. Who's better? If it weren't for people born after 1990, this argument wouldn't exist. DBSF is a straight Bron Bron lover but consider the facts.

MVPs: LeBron-2; Jordan -6 (PS Jordan also has 6--yes 6--Finals' MVPs)
NBA All-Defensive First Team: LeBron-2; Jordan-9
NBA All-First Team: LeBron-4; Jordan-10
Two Best Statistical Seasons (Pnts/Boards/Assists/Steals/Blocks): LeBron (07/08) 30.0/ 7.9/ 7.2/ 1.8/ 1.1 and (08/09) 28.4/ 7.6/ 7.2/ 1.7/ 1.2; Jordan (86-87) 37.1/ 5.2/ 4.6/ 2.9/ 1.5 and (87-88) 35.0/ 5.5/ 5.9/ 3.2/ 1.6.

Of course, LeBron has probably ten more good years in him to accrue more distinctions and stats, but keep in mind that the above disregards Jordan's more mundane achievements, like 6 NBA championships, 2 Gold Medals, and his college player of the year award in 1984.
