Jordan had a higher ceiling, but LeBrons longevity is insane.

This. 10 finals appearances across 20 years (and for 3 different franchises, no less) is absolutely absurd even if it only resulted in 4 titles. LeBron has consistently been a top 5 player in the league for basically his entire career and the undisputed best in the league for about half of that. He already has quite a few records, and will probably end his career with more because he still might have a couple more years in the tank.

You can say that either one of them was the best based on different metrics. Factoring in their entire resumes, I think it's close enough to call it a tie, or perhaps it's a slight edge to Jordan right now, but I could see LeBron passing him by the time his career is over.
