No Lebron plays a different game than Jordan, Lebron does things that Jordan was never asked to do. Lets be honest, Jordan didnt have to lead the team in rebounds, defend the top assignment, distribute the ball every night like Lebron has to do.
And yeah I agree Lebron did try to play manager, but he never had a team built around him the way jordan did, when Jordan left after 93, the Bulls won 55 games and were a bad call away from going to the ECF, instead the Knicks went, and won, and then lost the finals in 7. Jordan was on a team that could have realistically won the whole thing without him. So lets keep things in perspective.
But the one point I 100% agree with you was about Wiggins, even at the time I was confused as to what was going on, and Lebron 100% forced the Wiggins-Love trade which might go down as the biggest mistake in his career. I felt with Wiggins being 21, and Irving 24, it would have given Lebron a team that could get better as the years went on, while he got older, similar to Duncan, Lebron could have had a chance to win les in Cleveland into his late 30s. He blew it.
