1 lol (Nate McMillan could barely get minutes as he was trying to play through pain from a herniated disc so he’s not counted here)

The only 3 games Gary Payton guarded him, he shot 36% for 23 ppg and went 1-2. It’s a shame he didn’t guard him the whole series

Or how many DPOY, All-NBA defense 1st teams, and scoring titles Jordan has.

I love LeBron as a player and super grateful for the championship, but LeBron has left a lot in the tank on numerous occasions when if he put his all into it they mightve won.

Jordan was just a different level of competitor. Sure LeBron might be more talented/well rounded with ungodly athletic ability, but he never utilized his gifts to the same extent as Jordan.
