Imagine prime Magic and Bird running the break together?
I can imagine them getting smoked by Jordan and LeBron running the break together....

Because nobody has bothered to learn a post game any more. Because you dont get on highlight reels by playing sound basketball.My guys aren't shooting jumpers, they are driving to the rim where your centers will have to leave open shooters to help.
Meanwhile, post play is one of the least efficient forms of offense. Most often, it ends with a highly contested shot attempt. While closer, close is not better than open.
There is a reason all the best teams today play pace and space and why bigs are used as screeners instead of post scorers.
MJ and LeBron are the two greatest players ever so it would be unfair to put them together against ANY other duo in the history of duo's. Case closed.
I can roll out of bed and name 10 guys better than LeBron James.

30 years ago the game was at it's peak. Todays game is extremely flawed compared to players who could play defense and actually pass the ball.You would take 2 centers?
That would work great 30 years ago. Not anymore. If your two best players are post scorers, you are going to have a tough time getting offensive floor spacing. On D, Wilt and Kareem would get attacked relentlessly on ball screens and having to guard in space.
Size mismatches are much easier to defend than speed/skill mismatches. It is far easier to double effectively on the block than it is to help a center trying to guard a perimeter player.

Tim Duncan, Kevin McHale, Kareem, Olajuwon were not what one would call "low percentage scorers"
The Lebron fanboys are out in force, lol.
3 rings
Can you list those 10 players that are better than Lebron?
I'm not arguing for any current NBA players.how many current NBA players have been to the Finals in 7 straight years?
Jordan, Magic, Bird, Russell, Kareem, Duncan, Kobe are the layups.
The merits of Oscar, Olajuwon, Wilt and Shaq are strong debates.
How old are you?The only "layup" in there is MJ.
Magic and Kareem are very debatebale. I take LeBron, but its close.
You have some great players listed, but they just aren't on LeBron's level. Saying Bill Russell is better than LeBron is absolutely ludicrous.
