Against those Warriors in 2015 he basically carried the Cavs by turning it into a 90s game, and muscling Golden State. I just think Jordan gets the edge, but it's not by a large margin... Just like LeBron isn't that much greater than Larry.I can respect that but I just think lebron doesn't get the credit he deserves from most Jordan fans. Those Spurs teams & Warriors team that Lebron faced were much better than any team Jordan faced in the Finals.
Plus Lebron carried a bunch of know names to the finals in 2007, 2015(both Kyrie and Love were hurt), and 2018.

Your team could be having a hell of a year, just like the Jazz in the last 2 seasons, but in the end you were going to have to face him, and you were going to lose, with the exception of the year he came back from baseball.
Jordan also had the best team during those runs especially during the second three peat. Pippen and Rodman are arguably the best defenders in the history of the sport,Steve Kerr was a great 3pt shooter,and Kukoc is arguably a top 5 international player of all time.
