Imagine him trying to guard Jokic like LeBron was doing. Laughable.

That doesn't matter. Being more versatile doesn't make you a better defender.
Lebron is a big freak athlete, but not as good of a defender pound for pound.
Also, Lebron spent so much of the last several years not playing defense that you don't get to harp on longevity while also giving him a pass defensively when making comparisons to Jordan's defense.
