No, he hasn't beaten this "Warriors team". What he beat was the 73-9 team without the Finals MVP KD.Except that he's already beaten the Warriors. So no, it wouldn't.
Also, stop with the "MJ never faced a team like the Warriors" nonsense too. Guess what? The Warriors have never faced a team like MJ's Bulls either.
When it comes to championships, Lebron isn't going to catch MJ and Kareem and it's very unlikely that he's going to catch Magic.
That means there is one thing left that he can do that none of those all time greats did...lead 3 different teams to championships. That would do far more for his resume than beating the Warriors.

Lebron is working his way up the ladder. The year he is having, in his 15th season, is crazy

He beat the Warriors without Durant. The current version is an all time great team and has a chance to be THE all time great team. The 2015 version was really good, but not nearly on the same level as the KD Warriors.
A title on another roster would be great and all, but if it were with somebody like Philly 3 years from now, it wouldn't be nearly as impressive as a title with Cleveland this year against an all time great team.
Look at the Warriors this year... You really think the Bulls would lose to this team? ROFLMAO. These Warriors couldn't even beat the 91-93 Bulls.. Much less the 96-98 ones and would lose to a HOST of teams from the past (like Larry's Celtics, Magic's Lakers, Shaq/Kobe lakers etc), Warriors may not even win the title this year or even make the finals.

I don't remember the bulls winning 73 games, or ever going 15-1 in the playoffs let alone playing a similar team statistically. Jordan had the benefit of playing in an easy watered down era and a lot of luck from never having injuries to major players. They obviously won't ever play but the warriors are better statistically then any bulls team period. Lets face it you are in a tough situation. Either you cheer for lebron and hope he wins but that would add to lebrons legacy of beating the best team of all time or you hope the warriors win but then they surpass the bulls teams.

Jordan fans can always root for the Spurs/Celtics/Rockets to take down the Ws. Not impossible.

I think he has done enough to pass Kareem and Magic though, or at least have a really spirited debate about it.

Completely disagree. Especially with Kareem.
If he wins another title, then it might be worthy of a spirited debate. But if doesn't win another title, he's stuck at #4 all time.
If he does win one with his current team, then I'd say he passes Magic. But to even debate passing Kareem, he'd need 2 more titles or leading a 3rd different team to a title, imo.
