I can’t, man. Did you know the hardware difference between them is a first ballot HOF?
2x FMVP 1x MVP 10x scoring titles 1x DPOY
longevity is amazing and lbjs longevity is unrivaled but hardware is where you prove you were better than everyone else while playing. Better rebounder, defender, winner, etc.
Longevity if you just play long enough you’ll eventually win cumulative stats.
Nah.
With big hands MJ could swing the ball multiple directions, including backwards (think pushing ball fwd then backwards).
Most other players can’t do that, so they’re committed to the action thus is more guardable.
Along with his hangtime, big hands and agility, MJ is able to avoid blocks where virtually every other player would get blocked (he would get his shot off after waiting for his defender to land first, even if the defender jumped with perfect timing for a good block).

Nobody has highlights with the frequency and consistency like mj it’s actually insane. Nobody lol.
Why doe.
One is cumulative stats-- you play long enough you’re gonna get it.
Hardware is where you prove you’re the best player at some aspect of ball in any given year (defense, rebound, scoring, winning etc).
Essentially, Mj has proved he is better than the rest of the league more often than lebron has. The hardware difference between them is already a 1st ballot HOF.
2x FMVP 1x MVP 1x DPOY 9x scoring titles 1x ROTY
etc etc.
This ain’t no knock on LBJ I think he’s the greatest floor raiser of all time but it’s far more difficult af to actually win 1st place vs 390 players more often.
