I won’t get into that too much as I’m not a LeBron fan at all, but I’m absolutely confident Jordan never had to go against a team like the Warriors. That is just ridiculous and I will forever complain that the NBA should have never allowed the Durant trade to happen. I really think the Cavs biggest problem right now is coaching. They are terrible defensively and there is no creativity offensively. Celtics switch every screen and the entire team outside of LeBron and Love look totally useless.
This is easily the least talented team Lebron has been on in the last 10 years. I won’t get into how that compares with Jordan as I was too young to follow basketball in the 90s and don’t really care anyways.
No doubt GSW teams were the best faced among the 12 teams both faced, but he lost to some teams that weren't that great either. Jordan's ECF were ludicrously tougher than LBJ's. Just in the scheme of things teammates and opponents is a DEBATE, why debate the debatable when you can bring up the obvious gigantic difference in coaching quality.
Coaching is not a debate, Jordan had better coaches. Not just Phil Jackson but Tex Winters and Doug Collins. There's a strong case that 3 of MJ's NBA coaches were better than LBJ's best. I don't get why LBJ fans don't take that angle, probably too young to really know about any of it.
To me the inside inside discussion is whether MJ or LBJ's personality had any responsibility for the coaches they played for.
