Isaiah made the comparison last night, so I thought I'd have a look at the numbers. We remeber Michael for his great career, his will to win and his championships. But since LeBron is only 23, let's look at Michael's stats when he was 23 and compare them to what LeBron did last season.

Michael - 37.1 pts (his career highest) @48% from the field with 5.2 boards and 4.6 assists.
LeBron - 27.3 pts @47% with 6.7 boards and 6 assists.

The stats favor Michael, but there's no one in the league now that I'd rather have over LeBron.
