I wish I know the answer to this question cause I used to watch basketball a lot. For this year the news season will start in five days. If you are a fan, there is a lot of changes and transfers we all should look and see what difference it makes for the league. As of right now Baseball and Football are occupying the waves. This debate will never get old when anyone tries to compare or finding out who is really the #GOAT in basketball.
It is really hard if you just look at how both players approach the game. I will go straight to stats and you can make your decision in the comments. Before I go further, both players juice the game to a point where the fans are still talking about who is the #Goat. For many #MJ is the goat cause every time he goes to finals, he won it point blank. For LBJ he did go 10 times but only won four times. It is to show the nuance when you approach the time and the level of competition from each career.
LBJ is still playing top basketball for his age. This is something MJ did not do correctly. He should retire right after leaving the #Bulls. When you want to play you think you got the juice. This is not happening for many. MJ loves to have the ball and score. This is why he holds the record for 10 seasons compare to LBJ only one. The average for MJ is 30 per game. If you watch LBJ, he is more a facilitator for other players. That could be the reason why he did not win more rings.
If you look at offense and defense together, MJ is your guy. I mean watching him play, he is like he is screaming win win. Apart from the stats for both players, MJ was scary good when he is playing. This is why one season the team won 72 games and lost only 10. I know #warriors did something similar couple years back winning one more game to beat that record. It is to show the degree and how MJ wants to play versus how LBJ wants to play.
One key thing with MJ is by winning 6 championships almost back to back. Actually it was two three repeats from year 1991-1993 and 196-1998. I have to say it was basketball to the fullest. I am not taking anything away from LBJ for doing himself a two repeat in #Miami and won one in #Cleveland and the last one during the lockout with #Lakers. The best out of the four is in #cleveland for having a crappy team and still won the whole thing at the end. Winning with three teams is a feat that respectfully LBJ hold this one clear.
Since #Jordan plays so well, he brings the game internationally to another level. His sneakers are well known around the world. LeBron did benefit from that thereafter. The charismatic way MJ plays the game is a stamp basketball will never be the again. Not to forget the dream team in #olympics winning easily making a precedent for the not to distant dream team II to win again with LBJ.

Both players are impressive playing the game. I have to say they love basketball. LBJ is still playing and hopefully he may win again if everything falls in play at 76ers. Personally I admire both players but MJ is exceptional when winning is on the line. LBJ plays a beautiful team game but at the end I love watching decisive plays and MJ always find a way to make it happen. What do you say? I know the time is different for them. The time is different for you too. If you watch mostly LBJ, you should lean his way. I watched both of them play and the expectation is desirable when winning is on the line.
