Comparing MJ and LeBron is like comparing apples to oranges. I would love to see how certain players of today would fair being contested by players like Hakeem Olajuwon, Patrick Ewing, Kareem, or prime Shaq in the paint.
This isn't a jab at LeBron, but just a observation in general. There aren't many players that would prosper as well in other eras. Most players are a product of the rules and regulations of their respective eras, but this era compared to others just seems to watered down and soft in comparison to the past.
There's no denying LeBron is talented, but the best of all time? Of course his big ass would prosper in a league where the big men are soft as Charmin. He runs all over ****** and the refs swallow their whistles on all of the offensive fouls he commits.

they were like "90% of the NBA could never step foot to the dudes back in the day"
