> Sure Lebron has not won as many championships as Jordan (Lebron's 3 to Jordan's 6)

He's won 3 and also been to 9 in a row, not a small feat.

A little confused by the rest of your arguments, over their careers MJ averaged 30.1 pts and 5.3 assists per game and Lebron so far has averaged 27.1 pts and 7.4 assists per game so doesn't that counter your argument since clearly Lebron has done much more passing?

> He has led his team in scoring for 16 years in a row, including his rookie season.

How is that relevant? Lebron is number 8 all time in assists as a SF.

The numbers don't lie, its pretty clear he could lower his assist output and increase his scoring pretty easily.

Two of those 3 resulted from "the decision", which in practice meant he hand-picked a team whose starting lineup counted with 3 or 4 hall of famers arguably during their prime, with the notable exception of Ray Allen.

Yeah and how'd the Heat do the year after Lebron went back to Cleveland? Spoiler: after just making a trip to the finals the previous season they had a losing record and didn't even make the playoffs

So to recap: Miami with Lebron = 4 Straight NBA Finals, Miami first year without Lebron = losing record and miss playoffs completel. They're basically a .500 dumpster team ever since.
