For a majority of Jordan fans, even having a postseason comparison with LeBron would be an insult, to begin with.

According to Marcus Hartman of Dayton Daily News,

Jordan was placed atop the mountain because of his dominance of the league both individually and through his team. He became No. 1 not just because he had great stats but also because he was 6-0 in the Finals. That’s why 6-0 in the Finals remains the measuring stick and always will be.

And sadly, James can never be 6-0 in the Finals now. Too late for that.

However, LeBron leads the league in points scored in the playoffs - and leads Jordan by an astronomical margin for that matter. But that's what the King is all about. He has shattered the records over and over again, in every possible category he could find, and in the process, left MJ behind in terms of individual numbers.

However, six championships tend to outweigh any personal accomplishments and so they shall.
