Michael Jordan surpasses LeBron James in the ability to shoot the basketball; there’s little question about this. But the pro-LeBron James camp will point to the fact that James had a much grander impact on the game, as evidenced by his advantage in both career rebounds (6.2 vs. 4.7) and assists (7.4 vs. 5.4) per game.

Even in Jordan’s prime, he only averaged 7.0 rebounds and/or 6.3 assist one time during the course of his career, while James met or exceeded those totals in 13 of his 17 seasons in the NBA — while still remaining the ballpark of career scoring average per game (30.1 for Jordan vs. 27.1 for James).
