I loved MJ. They are different players from different eras with contrasting styles. Lebron's strengths in order are 1. Size/strength 2. Athleticism 3. Skill 4. Tenacity...all strengths mind you. Jordan's were 1. Tenacity 2. Athleticism 3. Skill 4. Size/Strength.

Personally, I enjoyed MJ's game more. Either could be the GOAT, but it's just a personal choice. MJ had less off the court media issues to rub us the wrong way (Lebron's Decision) and that helps his like ability. He was a walking commercial, though he had off the court issues, we never knew about them.

Both are all-time studs and there will not be agreement on the best.

It was a different media era too. It was easier to isolate yourself from fans and criticism. You just needed to mainstream media to cover for you. No smartphones, so not every person had a camera 24/7. No Twitter to deal with constant criticism from fans or hoes DMing you. No message forums to overanalyze every play and stat.

Disagree about Lebron's strengths.

Just because he's bigger and stronger than Jordan doesn't mean that athleticism and tenacity are lower on the list for him. LeBron's athleticism and tenacity, even though maybe not on the level of Jordan's, are much more of a strength for him than his size.

Wearing a soft cast to the podium after getting swept for the second time in the finals is such a GOAT move

Bill Simmons had Charles Oakley on his podcast this week for about an hour. It's an interesting listen with some Jordan stories mixed in.
