Jordan. Easily.
The only thing Bron has over Jordan is stats.
Jordan did his thing in an era of less spacing, way less 3 pt shooting, and significantly more physicality.
Jordan was also entirely capable of putting up the gaudy stats that Lebron does. He's every bit the all-around player.
Even without any of that though, Jordan is better simply because of his competitive fire. It dwarfs Bron's.
Sounds like the 90s would fit Lebrons play style even more. Lebron would have dominated the 80s-90s as well.
I don't agree. Lebron thrives in space. There was much less of it, people would be able to be more physical, and there would be legit big men waiting for him at the rim.
He would have found ways to adjust, but I don't think that style of play is better for him.
