time is that the competition was better for Jordan. Many don't realize how good the Sonics and Jazz and Suns were. Not to mention the Knicks and Pacers in the east.
Some tidbits shown last night confirm that. The number of 60-win teams that Jordan knocked out as amazing. And countless hall of famers.
While anybody and everybody readily acknowledges that the east has been generally terrible during Lebron's time. The only arguably great team he faced was GS and it took a quasi-bogus suspension to beat them.
Your last 2 sentences are mostly true. Facilitator is not as clear cut. Lebron needs to facilitate more because he can't finish himself as well. But the real difference is attitude. Lebron will never match those older guys for killer instinct.
