anytime a discussion is had based on different eras you will never get a good debate...
there are the people that a nostalgic towards an era, and may even dislike another era... this happens in all sports... people always romanticize the past... thinking it is better than it really was..
basketball, people dislike the softness of the current players, and the offensive renaissance that really means defense is becoming less and less of a thing... whether its because of the rules, or just that players are much harder to stop...
nobody can debate that the average player is bigger stronger faster than they were in the 1990s... and Jordan had bigger stronger faster competition than previous greats before him...
so the question is not who is the more talented player... because to me that would be an obvious answer of Lebron... who is bigger, stronger faster, better shooter...
its who was better in their era... Michael was way more dominant than Lebron ever was... now was that because of competition?? I don't know...
90s Jordan was the best player who ever lived... and I don't think that is even close...
but if we talk about who had the better career, then yes, a lot of other factors..
if both players were in their prime today, I would probably start my team with Lebron over Jordan... as I would have less needs to fill afterwards...
if I have a team that needs that one thing to get over the hump... I would take Jordan... as he is a better competitor than Lebron ever was...
