LBJ is the physical freak that MJ was not. Jordan was a nowadays cookie cutter 6'6" skinny small forward and/or shooting guard coming out of UNC. Lebron was a 6'9" 260 pound physical freak at 18 coming out of high school. Our maker gave LBJ the natural advantage, but MJ overcame that, IMO.

If LBJ honed his skills and had the mentality that MJ had, then we would have a discussion, but to me, the only advantage LBJ has over MJ in his prime is size. There is nothing else that stands out to me as being superior in LeBron's case.
