Lebron is #2 at the very best and it's not a close #2.
If you put them in the same league, in the same era without knowing their careers, you draft Lebron 10 x out of 10.
If you put them in the same league, in the same era with knowledge of how their career paths went, taking Lebron even once should get you fired.
Jordan had an uparalleled drive to be great that Lebron can't touch.

Their peaks were effectively equivalent except LeBron played 10 years longer as a top 5-10 basketball player (and counting). Their careers aren't close overall anymore and haven't been for well over a half decade.
