The 07 Cavs team, outside of LeBron was a joke.  Going up against the #2 def, and potentially 3 HOF players.

In 14, LeBron led scoring in 4/5 games. He scored 51 points more than the second closest player from either team.  He also led his team in rebounds and assists. 28/8/4

In 15, LeBron lost Kyrie and Love.  He should have been finals MVP, in a losing effort, with arguably the best finals performance of all time. 36/13/9
He scored 60 more points than Steph (number 2), 15 more assists than Steph (number 2) and had more rebounds than Tristan Thomson (number 2).  It was legendary.

He then lost to what may be the best team ever assembled (for this era of basketball), the next two.

I used to love LeBron, I’m tired of him, and at some point will be able to look back and reflect on what he accomplished.  But Jordan never even sniffed a finals without pippen.  I still put Jordan one,  but it’s very close.

You know, the only way to settle this is by running a series of sims with Jordan and James playing games of 1 on 1..
