Lebron Vs. Jordan

The question is now bigger than it has ever been; people are really starting to think deeper into the question, Who is the best NBA player of all-time, LeBron or Jordan? After LeBron won his first championship last season, the argument had gained steam. Although LeBron would have to win 5 more titles to tie Jordan with 6, he still has been considered to be the greatest.

LeBron skipped his college career and went strait to the NBA. Jordan went to North Carolina before entering the NBA. Both won many awards in the league an LeBron still has time to get more. Both where NBA rookies of the year during their rookie seasons. LeBron has 1 title, 1 Finals MVP, 3-time league MVP, Selected to the NBA first team All Defense of team 4 times already, 8 time all-star, and LeBron holds the record of 30+ points and 60%+ Field goal shooting at 6 games in a row. LeBron has proved that he can shoot the ball well now, he has improved in that from when he started in the league. His free throw percentage has improved a ton and 3pt percentage has also increased over the past few years.

LeBron does have a lot of hardware already in his very short career but Jordan has him beat so far. Jordan is a 6 time NBA champion, 6 time finals MVP, 14 time all-star, 9 time first team all defense, 10 time NBA scoring champion and 10 time all NBA first team. Jordan had the career any NBA player could ask for. The best player to ever play the game as some say. Jordan just seemed to make everything he put up and if it didn't go in people looked in surprise. If we dig deeper we will see if LeBron is on pace to surpass Jordan in the end.

LeBron won his first title before Jordan did. LeBron was 28 when he won his first one and Jordan was 29 when he won his. Which is a huge thing to think of when comparing the two and to know that LeBron has started earlier than Jordan is a huge advantage to LeBron. The first ring took LeBron longer than he wanted but was worth it. He had moved teams because he couldn't win a championship where he was. LeBron played for the Cleveland Cavilers and then made his decision to move to the Miami Heat. With the Miami Heat they were expected to be the best team in the NBA for many years to come. They have held up to that standard but for the first time last year won an NBA championship.

People compare LeBron and Jordan based on the teammates they had which I think is not the best way to judge them. LeBron gets the lower end of
