So what's your point? Anyone capable of being purely objective would agree that Jordan is the most overrated NBA player of all time. Poor rebounder, had a low assist average, inconsistent outside shot...and anyone can play shutdown defense with the benefit of never getting called for fouls.

Yep, MJ was strictly a one-dimensional player with a fantastic supporting cast and a strong competitive edge. Not enough to even put him in the All-Time Top 10.

The greats have to measured against each other on multiple criteria, esp if they are from different eras. A lot of weight can and should be placed on MVP and winning championships. At the end of the day the top players can will their teams to the finals and come up with a win when it counts. Jordan had a star team just like Lebron in Miami, but when you watch the two play MJ wasn't just hungry, his mouth was watering. Lebron gets out there and play hard but the guy hasn't taken matters into his own hands, or he's not hungry enough to believe he can get the win. Jordan was class in every aspect of the game.
I'm so sorry to break hearts, but at least for now there is simply no comparison... Except in athleticism and talent. Unfortunately those are only two minor things to compare the two. And as far as the guy who had a bigger impact in his era there is zero question MJ gets it. The guy propelled basketball around the globe and Nike into the spotlight. He was a competitive machine, doing everything in his power to be the best player he could be and to destroy the competition. Today there are several players that can do severe damage on a one off basis against Lebron and team. That just wasn't allowed to happen in the MJ era, he controlled the game.
Please stop trying to compare, you are embarrassing yourself and frankly it's disrespectful to the GOAT.

This ^ is spot on in every aspect.

I feel that Jordan was entirely focused on being the best player of all time and winning championships.

I feel that Lebron is not entirely focused as Jordan because he cares too much about the creation/maintainance of his persona/brand and the marketing of such.

If Lebron truly had Jordan's passion, drive and determination, he would be unstoppable.

How come MJ had to wait til 27 to make it to the finals when James did it at 22? How come Jordan couldn't carry the Wizards to the playoffs once?

Carry the Wizards to the playoff?!?!? You might as well ask why Hank Aaron never led the Milwaukee Brewers to the playoffs.
