MJ is clearly remembered for his scoring prowess but as someone who used to watch and root against him all the time, he was a great defender as well. Lebron is only a good defender if you considering flopping to be a legitimate defense.

You must only remember the last few years of LeBron. LeBron is a 5x First Team All NBA defender.

I feel like people give Jordan the benefit of his entire career, and look at LeBron as the last few years. I think LeBron did that to himself. But if you are talking about LeBron over the last few years (on defense) we should talk about Jordan’s Washington stint.

Anyway, it’s close. LeBron would have been great in any era.
