Kareem Abdul-Jabbar won 6 NBA regular season MVPs
<p>

Consider the fact that the stats listed above are after completion of 20 seasons of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. On the other hand, LeBron has just completed his 15th season and has stacked up numbers that are pretty much at par with that of Kareem's. The only aspect of the game where Kareem outpaces James comprehensively is defense.

The scoring machine that LeBron is and the dominance he displays on the court extends way beyond the stat sheets. Both these players possess enough ability to carry their teams all the way to the playoffs single-handedly.

LeBron's greatness can be put into perspective by the fact that his numbers listed are at par with a man who was elected to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame in 1995 and was named one of the 50 greatest players in NBA history in 1996.
