This isn't a battle of statistics or talent. To unseat Jordan, LeBron has to be a better playoff performer than Jordan was. From a playoff perspective, Jordan was pretty much perfect and it's hard to beat perfect. And sorry... but the fair question will always come up about what it says about a guy's legacy that he had to assemble his own superpower by pulling a few strings, leaving behind the team he started with ringless.
And sorry... but LeBron's playoff performances may be better than I often give him credit for, but he is a LONG ways from perfect. I don't care what statistics say. He may in the next 10 years go toe to toe with Jordan from a statistical standpoint, but Jordan's 4th quarter ability is probably going to go unmatched.
Maybe LeBron does it in the next years. But it would have to be one hell of a turnaround to beat perfection.
