Jordan was dominating the game when hand-checking was the norm, and true zone defenses were allowed.

Jordan was unstoppable with those defensive advantages in place. Couldn't even imagine the smack-down he would lay on the league now-a-days, especially with the new rules in place and the mediocre at best talent pool of the current NBA.

LeBron is the best player of this era, and this is the worst the league has been by a lot.

I was lucky enough to grow up watching Jordan, even attended a few games. To compare LeBron to Jordan is unfair for both parties. It does a disservice to Jordan's legacy, and it puts an undue burden on LeBron - who has no chance of ever living up to - much less surpasing - his Airness.
