MJ. No doubt.
MJ: 6 NBA Championships, the leader of arguably some of the best NBA teams of all time, and he has hit countless buzzer-beaters (and made it look easy).
Lebron: 0 NBA Championships, the leader of a team that struggles to make the playoffs, and not even the best player in the NBA right now (I would give that to Kobe or Gilbert Arenas).

Are you serious? This is no question. MJ. MJ won 6 championships. Who was there center again? Lebron may look like a 28 year old man, but Jordan was years ahead mentally. Is it a coincidence that Jordan could come back and play well in the NBA as an old man. No Jordan knew what it took to win and was unstoppable. Lebron hasn't won yet and is by no means unstoppable. Don't tell me Jordan didn't win until 1990. Who won those years Lakers, Celtics, and Pistons. These teams had three of the best player ever on there teams. Magic, Bird, and Isiah are better than anything that's denying Lebron a title.

MJ has my vote and I hated the Bulls when he played. Anyone who has seen the athletic prowess of MJ in his prime cannot help but be amazed. As a man of similar stature, LeBron actually has more raw athletic ability than Michael, but has not anywhere NEAR the refinement of Jordan... but then they were saying the same thing about Michael at this stage of his career too if you recall.
The Bulls didn't win a championship with MJ until his 7th season!! And when it comes down to all time greats, LeBron will have to win several championships with individual game impact AND team play (MJ made even Horace Grant look good!) to be considered in the same breath as MJ. Check out the man's numbers... YIKES.

MJ all the way. Labron comes no where near him.

Way too early to tell. Also, keep in mind that Jordan had the benefit of playing in the NCAA before the NBA, and thus entered the league as a more refined player. LeBron went straight from playing in HS to playing in the pros, and so he still needs to work on his all around game before he can be mentioned in the same breath as Jordan. Don't overlook D. Wade, who already has one ring...

No doubt MJ. Both excellent players, but one difference stands out to me. 6 rings that MJ has.
