I'll always argue that Jordan has a better legacy but LeBron was the better player. When people argue Jordan is better than LeBron, they bring up rings. It's a completely fair argument. But everything lebron brings to the table (scoring, passing, rebounding) hes a more complete player. Jordan was a better defender and scorer, but LeBron can still score. LeBron is playing in an era where he cant just be a scorer like MJ was. The other teams in the league are too good. However, LeBron has won for both Miami and won a ring for Cleveland when nobody thought it would happen down 3-1. Everyone always argues "LeBron never won it in the west" and if he does, theres nothing you can hold against him besides his finals losses. Maybe it's time to just accept we have 2 of the greatest players of all time and call them each the GOAT , which is what is deserved.
