Jordan: 6-0 in Finals. Highest career PPG ever. 10 scoring titles. 6 Finals MVPs. The perfect résumé. LeBron: All-time leading scorer (40,000+). 20 All-NBA selections. Played in 10 Finals across 3 teams. The longevity is inhuman.
Jordan was the better player at his peak. LeBron has had the better career in total. Jordan never lost a Finals — but LeBron's 2016 comeback from 3-1 against the 73-win Warriors is the single greatest championship ever won. Our take: Jordan is the GOAT. But LeBron is the greatest career in NBA history. They're different conversations.
