The greatest basketball debate of all time Micheal Jordan vs LeBron James. Jordan has 6 championships and is 6-0 in the finals. Jordan was also a cultural icon being known all over the world to visit his fans. Definitely the best player of the 90s and was a threat on defense, locking up his opponents, winning defensive player of the year in his 1987-88 season. LeBron James the all time leading scorer with 40,000 points plus. LeBron has been playing for 20 seasons, LeBron has more longevity than Jordan and can guard all 5 positions on the court. He also has great court vision and is the perfect all around player. Jordan was more of an icon and had the NBA dream. Jordan did more in less time, as well as playing baseball and golf.  he was also more efficient player especially in the playoffs.
