Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan catches stray from Lakers’ LeBron James
One of the tireless debates in the NBA is who is the greatest of all time between Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan and Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James.

The two players were the best of their respective eras. However, because they didn’t play under the same league rules, it’s hard to compare the two.
There’s no debate that Jordan elevated the sport and made the NBA a global power. Frankly, without Jordan, James wouldn’t be as famous as he is today.
Still, James wants to make the case that he’s the best player of all time.
During a recent appearance on the “Mind the Game” podcast, James didn’t name Jordan, but suggested the era the Bulls’ legend played in wasn’t as difficult as the one James faces in the modern period.
“The game is different,” James said. “I want people and our fans to understand playing 82 games in the 80s and 90s is not the same as playing 82 games in the 2020s. It’s just not. The way we play, the level of pace and the speed we’re playing at, it’s a different game now. It’s a lot of soft tissue injuries that’s happened now because of it…
“When I first came in the league… the biggest concern for injuries was like a high ankle sprain… Now you see the new high ankle sprain is the calf. Hopefully we get a handle on that from a medical standpoint but I just want the fans to understand the game is a little different.”

Chicago Bulls’ Michael Jordan played in a tougher era

The speed of the game is different, but the NBA has changed the game in order to make it faster.
Jordan had to drive to the basket in an era that allowed more physicality from the defense. James is well known for crying about fouls.
How would he survive playing against a team that employed the “Jordan Rules” to try and stop him?
James never had to face Isiah Thomas and a Detroit Pistons defense beating him up. He plays in an era that is even more generous to offensive players, allowing them to take extra liberties with ball handling.
