#1 Jordan revolutionized the game of basketball
By adding a significant level of "beauty" to the game, basketball has never been the same again since Air Jordan came to be.
Considered as one of the great scorers of all time if not the greatest, he was a ten-time scoring champion and every basket he made thrilled the fans no end.
Even his peers were amazed by his creativity. In fact, Larry Bird didn't hide his admiration when he described Jordan as "God disguised as a basketball player," after a rookie Michael torched his Celtics with 69 points in a playoff game.
When he mesmerized the NBA with his graceful moves and uncanny competitiveness, he was able to capture the imagination of the entire basketball world and beyond, and from then on, everybody wanted to be like Mike. In fact, it included LeBron.
But make no mistake about it, there's no denying how great LeBron James is as a basketball player and as a human being. To claim that he will never be better than Michael Jordan because of the aforementioned, doesn't mean his legacy is diminished. There is no doubt that LeBron, having a few more years of great basketball left in him, will cement his place in the history of basketball as one of the legit all-time greats.
