What Helped MJ become a better leader, and it helped Pippen develop into the great number 2 option he became. It's what won them 72 in 96, and 69 a year later along with the championships. Phil Jackson and the coaching staff deserves more credit. The number 1 thing that puts MJ over Lebron for me is the fact that he let his coach do their job and he learned from it.
As good as Lebron was at 18 years old, I still think 2 years of college hoops would have helped him become even better. Same with Kobe, KG, Dwight and all of them that went pro straight out of High School. It was their rightful decision to make, but if you ask me it cost them some development that could have led to even more success. However we will never truly know.
We do know that Luka Doncic time in europe made him more ready to compete at the highest level than any other prospect in the past few years. He was training and playing pro ball at an age that most kids are getting out of High School.
Another example(not of this level ofc) is Malcolm Brogdon. Recently i read on a Pacers related subject that Brogdon stayed in College for 4 years. When i first watched this guy the first thing that stood out was that his game seemed rounded and matured. He was playing like he was 30 years old. I don't think it was an accident after i read his story.
