Defense is completely different in the NBA of LeBron and the rules that opened the game up in 2001-2002 than it was for Jordan and his predecessors. The muggers like Allen, Lambeer, Rodman, etc became a relative thing of the past.
In any event, Jordan will remain the best pure player I've ever seen on both ends of the court and from a leadership perspective. Jordan is a guy that would elevate his teammates' games and push them to be their best. LeBron is right there statistically, but he's not the same leader. I'd probably elevate Kobe above LeBron because of that trait as well.
