    When comparing MJ and Lebron - both players led teams that would've been lottery without them (in 1989 and 2015), to 6 games with the champs.. But MJ's stats were better.

    MJ averaged [COLOR="navy"]34.8/7.0/7.2 on 51.0%[/COLOR] in the 1989 playoffs, which is better than Lebron's [COLOR="Purple"]30.1/11.3/8.5 on 41.7%[/COLOR] in the 2015 playoffs..

    MJ has a 5 point scoring edge and 10 point efficiency edge, while Lebron has a 4 rebound edge and 1.6 assist edge - MJ's advantages are more valuable for a team's #1 scoring option.

    In 1990, MJ averaged [COLOR="navy"]36.8/7.2/6.8 on 51.4%[/COLOR] in the playoffs, and took the champion Pistons to 7 games this time.. Again, those stats are better than Lebron's 2015 playoffs, unless you're disregarding the 10 point efficiency gap and 7 point scoring gap.

    Makes no sense. Should be the amount of times they played with an all-star from that season. Makes no sense to add Robert Parish to Jordan. He didn't play with an all-star Robert Parish.

    By that logic, I'm pretty sure Jordan should only be 6x, Lebron should be 11x, Kobe should be 15x, Shaq should be 23x, and Duncan should be 12x.
