Can someone tell me why people think Michael Jordan is better than LeBron?

First off LeBron was not a "much better" passer and rebounder than Jordan I hate when people say that because it's just not true, LeBron is slightly better in those categories and if you want to bring that up then I can say Jordan was a better shot blocker and better at getting steals on the defensive end. Jordan was a very underrated passer and rebounder especially for his size, position, and era he played in when big man ruled the game of basketball. Secondly Jordan is a better scorer in every facet of the game outside of 3 point shooting and maybe transition and even that's debatable. And it's not just about Jordan being a winner he single handedly changed the game of basketball during the 90's up till the era we see today. Look at how many people emulate and imitate his style and look how many guys have come since MJ that people have deemed the next "Jordan" including LeBron. Accolades also help but Jordan has just changed the game in certain ways that LeBron never will. Also watching him on Youtube and watching him live when it happened are 2 totally different things. That would be like me saying I watched Walter Payton highlights on Youtube but he has nothing on Adrian Peterson. Fact of the matter is when guys like MJ and Payton did what they did it was ahead of their time and something new, and if he didn't do it most other guys wouldn't have thought of doing it themselves
