How about this then
MVPs: MJ-5, Bron-4
Finals MVPs: MJ-6, Bron-3
All NBA 1st team: MJ-10 1st team in 15 seasons (10/11 total selections) , Bron-13 in 17 seasons (13/16 total selections)
All NBA Def 1st team: MJ-9 1st team selections (including DPOTY), Bron- 5 1st team selections
Scoring titles: MJ- 10, Bron-1
Other league leading season stats: MJ- 3 steals titles, Bron- 1 assist title
MJ has the highest regular season scoring average
Bron has higher rebound and assist averages than MJ but not the highest ever
So unless the definition of 'peak': ie being at the summit or best has changed recently exactly what argument is there other than he's played longer and accumulated more stats (ie longevity).
Carusois just Delaladova with a 40 inch vertical.
It’s perfectly reasonable to want to have at least 16 Elite seasons of LeBron over 12 and 1/4 elite seasons of MJ.
this is why it is, and always will be, **** them kidsScary. Seriously.
as a wise american poet once said, it's levels to this ****. MJ's elite seasons are on a different planet than Bron's - no disrepek to Bron.

MJ and Wade or Kyrie would not have workedImagine if MJ played with three different teams consisting of D Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and Anthony Davis.
Stacking the deck MJ would've been a sight to see
the league wasn't stacked enough to even do this then. even with these players on Lebron's team he still played against superior talented teams for the most part.Imagine if MJ played with three different teams consisting of D Wade, Bosh, Kyrie, Kevin Love, and Anthony Davis.

LeBron Career vs Leastern Conference- 27/7/7 on 50% shootingas a wise american poet once said, it's levels to this ****. MJ's elite seasons are on a different planet than Bron's - no disrepek to Bron. MJ individually dominated on a higher level & we can use things such as stats, awards, peer feedback, etc to validate this & his teams dominated on a greater & higher level than Bron's teams.
it's also funny how people wanna bring up MJ's competition but are the same people who wanna dismiss competition when lebron playing in the leastern conference is brought up

MJ wouldve had the balls to put the paws on em tooMJ and Wade or Kyrie would not have worked
becuase.
Longevity is a criteria some people weight it more heavily than others. I personally favor peak performance, but it is PERFECT REASONBLE to weight longevity more heavily.
hence the fact that it is arguable.
in terms of peak performance it's simply close enough to be arguable.
You could say, totally reasonably something like;
¹Lebron James played against better opponents, Jordan's last 3 championships came against a league watered down by expansion.
²While Jordan maybe be the better individual defender Lebron James size, versatility, and rim protection make him the more versatile and valuable defender.
Lebron is a way better passer and able to lift his teammates to greater heights. Hence why he was able to drag 10 different teams to the finals and beat a heavily favored GSW team. some MJ never did.
now I would respond with efficient one on one iso scoring is the most valuable skill in playoff basketball and Michael Jordan is the greatest iso scorer of all time so therefore Mike is the goat...
I favor Mike but it's close enough that lebron argument is not insane.
There is a non insane Kareem argument and a non insane Russel argument. but MJ fans wanna stick there heads in the sand.
fine do you.
