In terms of scoring, who is better between LeBron James and Michael Jordan? Let's take a look at some data. Jordan made a total of 24,537 shot attempts in his career, scoring a total of 32,292 points. In the same number of attempts, James scored 33,918 points, which means James scored 1,626 more points than Jordan. So, does this mean James has a stronger scoring ability than Jordan?
Jordan averaged 22.9 shots per game, while James averaged 19.6. Moreover, Jordan's average free throws were 8.2, which is also higher than James' 7.6. This is the fundamental reason why Jordan won the scoring title 10 times! Jordan achieved high scoring through high volume shooting, there's no denying that! During the same period as Jordan, Karl Malone was second on the scoring list five times, but he only had one season with an average of 20.1 shots. For the rest of his peak years, it was basically around 19 shots. However, during Jordan's 10 scoring titles, his average was around 23.5 shots, which is 4-5 shots more than the second-place Karl Malone on the scoring list. How could he not have more scoring titles? Jordan is also the second-highest average shooter in history, with Elgin Baylor being the first.
Let's talk about the opponents faced by James and Jordan. What kind of opponents did James face? The Spurs' GDP combination, with Duncan being the best power forward in the league, Parker being the second-best team, Ginobili being the sixth man, and Popovich as the coach. Such a system would make even Jordan bow down in admiration. The Warriors with five stars, historical-level three-point shooter Curry, top-tier 3D player Thompson, Defensive Player of the Year Green, and historical-level scorer Durant. You can check out Jordan's opponents, along with the level of opponents he had around him, such as Pippen with his All-Defensive First Team honors, rebound king Rodman, and many others that I won't go into detail.
Without hesitation, James is the greatest player in history, winning championships with three different teams and accumulating over 40,000 points. If Jordan could focus solely on scoring like James, disregarding other aspects, James could have easily won 10 scoring titles. Just look at rebounds and assists, and you'll see that Jordan and James are not on the same level. Jordan may excel at the shooting guard position, but James is the most versatile and greatest player in NBA history, and there's no debate about that.
