Lebron 4-6 (despite personally building a super team). If not for a last second three by Ray Allen off a Lebron miss, He would be 3-7 with three losses just to the Spurs, and one ring total out of his super team.
Better Movie:
Jordan-Space Jam ($250 million worldwide in 1996)
Lebron- Space Jam A New Legacy ($144 million in 2021)
Fact is Lebron is Brady in the sense that a lot of his numbers are a result of playing forever and being relatively healthy. For as good as he is, he has very few things in which he has over Jordan. The reality is that had Jordan not gone to play baseball, there was a very strong chance that he would have won 9 NBA Championships in a row. He also played his early career when the game was far more physical and yet still excelled. He is a great player, but he is no Jordan regardless of what Barry has to say.
