When LeBron has a chance to eliminate an opponent, he improves in points, blocks, steals, and rebounds. Not only does LeBron win more than Jordan in areas of eliminating opponents and facing elimination, he also performs better. While the typical trends we've seen in the other statistical comparisons seem to continue here, the two players' level of improvement in clutch situations is incredibly different. Attempts are left neutral because more or less shots taken could be identified as a positive or negative thing depending on the circumstances of the game. Leading statistical categories are in bold. The numbers used to find his stats were based off of some assumption, for instance, it's very likely Kevin Love and Kyrie Irving will be Hall of Famers despite not being inducted yet, but it also has some questionable players like Derrick Rose counted as opponents who had an MVP award but is likely on the fringe right now as to whether he will be an inductee or not (If not, Rose would be the first MVP to not be inducted). When we look at the table below, keep in mind that LeBron's career isn't over and neither are many of his opponents'. Michael Jordan never won without Scottie Pippen and LeBron failed to win a ring until the infamous "Decision" to join Chris Bosh and Dwayne Wade. Often times, people argue over whether or not LeBron or Jordan had their success due to the players around them. Neither player was successful in winning a championship without a future Hall of Famer on their team. Jordan played with Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman for a large stretch of his career and LeBron has boasted future Hall of Fame talent like Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Kyrie Irving, and Kevin Love on his teams. There are various accolades and stats that can be attributed to players.
