King James > Jumpman Jordan.
James is well on his way to surpassing Jordan in every conceivable category – except one (scoring titles). Jordan had 10 to James’ one. His Airness won five MVP awards; James already has four; Jordan was a first-team All-NBA selection 10 times while James was just named unanimously for the seventh time. Jordan was on nine All-Defensive teams; James has already appeared on five while Jordan was a 14-time All-Star and James has nine selections.
Jordan finished with a little more than 32,000 points for a 30.1 average while James has slightly more than 21,000 for a 27.6 average. And while James will never approach the 10 scoring titles Jordan amassed, he’ll still score more total points.
Meanwhile, he’ll have significantly more rebounds and assists as James averages 7.3 boards and 6.9 assists to Jordan’s 6.2 and 5.3, respectively. While Jordan is clearly the more prolific scorer, James is the better overall player and more of a team player.
But no matter what the numbers say in the end, James will still come out on the lower end when it comes to branding, endorsements and likeability. This stems mainly from “The Decision” in 2010 when James made a much-hyped announcement that he was leaving his home town Cleveland Cavaliers for the Heat.
It depends on your own viewpoint whether this is fair or not but I would argue it is not. Why is James a bad guy in the court of public opinion when Jordan wasn’t exactly a choir boy himself with gambling issues and paternity lawsuits? He also has hardly distinguished as a team owner with the Charlotte Bobcats. Conversely, James appears to be a devoted family man.
My contention is that in roughly a decade when James is ready to leave, he’ll be regarded as the best ever to grace the hardwood
