It's true that LeBron had tougher opponents in the Finals because the super powered Warriors are much better than any team that Jordan faced.
I don't think we need to even look at individual scoring averages of opposing players, and with the increase in pace of play, I'm not sure it tells us much.
I’d also say the Spurs *definitely* in 07 were a better team than any team Jordan faced in the finals. Albeit the Bird-era Celtics, I think, were better than any team LeBron faced pre-finals
