Why is LeBron being compared to Michael Jordan?

I don't understand how LeBron can be compared to Michael Jordan. LeBron is not even on Kobe's level, let alone MJ. LeBron just got one championship, and he was very fortunate to win it too. Kobe has 5, and even he won't be better than Jordan. But he is the closest player we have to Michael Jordan. IMO, LeBron is a few notches above Scottie Pippen.

    Because he used to wear number #23 trying to be like Mike, sorry TRUE Heat fans but it is what it is.

  • Lebron:

    nba mvp

    finals mvp

    olympic gold medalist

    ALL in one year

    Kobe: 2008

    Olympic gold medalist

    nba mvp

    (should of been nba finals mvp and won the championship but players on the lakers were hurt)

    Because every "great" player will be compared to MJ. So far, I'll say Kobe is the best since MJ.

    Because fans today only look strictly at talent and forget all the other aspects of a great player that don't even show in the stats.
