People old enough to have watched both prime Jordan and prime LeBron play are the only ones qualified to compare those two players. Everyone else is just regurgitating statistics, YouTube videos, and second-hand opinions.

How old would a person be to have followed prime Jordan’s career? Minimum would be 16 years old when Jordan began his second three-peat in 1995. So a person would have to be born before 1980. Any later than that, and you end up with people who were way too young to understand what they were seeing on TV. I can’t really trust the opinion on a 12 year old in 1996.
