LeBron’s first stint in Cleveland was defined by how much help he DIDN’T have. His Big Three in Miami is where that debate should start. Three legit superstars on one team, whereas Jordan only ever had himself and Pippen in Chicago. Sure, the Bulls had a lot of solid role players like Grant, Kukoc, Paxson, Nash, etc., but their best center during Jordan’s time was…Bill Cartwright? Luc Longley? Will Perdue?

LeBron’s second stint in Cleveland was a little better than the first. Kyrie Irving is a legit — and this is a Celtic fan saying this — superstar, if a little off his rocker emotionally. But beyond those two? Role players.

Jordan with the Wizards was…I mean, we have to go there because now LeBron is spending the twilight of his career with another team, right? Let’s face it. Jordan, when not injured, vacillated between 50-point games and scoring in the teens some nights. With no help to speak of. LeBron isn’t as consistently dominant night to night as a 35-year-old as he was 10 years ago, but he’s still dominant most nights, and he has Anthony Davis now.

So, really, I can’t see where there is a blanket answer to this question. You have to take each of their careers in parts and compare them separately.
