Not one person (even on the LeBron side) is arguing that LeBron is a better scrorer than MJ.
by definition of being #1 options, scoring is the most important thing that lebron and jordan do.. so 22 ppg on 38% is sub-par regardless of reb and ast numbers..
jordan loses everytime with those numbers - he needed to lead his team in scoring by an average margin of 15 ppg in each playoff series.. accordingly, garbage like bron's 22 ppg would never fly
btw, the bulls needed jordan to carry the goat scoring load AND lead the team in passing - jordan led the bulls in assists for most playoff runs, and assisted on the highest proportion of bulls field goals during both 3-peats (jordan's assist percentage in 91-93' playoffs was
31.1% versus pippen's
22.3%, and it was
22.3% to pippen's
22.0% in 96-98' playoffs

How does MJ win the Finals easily while shooting 41%?...
because he averaged 31 ppg on 46% thru 3 games to get the bulls a 3-1 lead
then he
relaxed
he also didnt let his man score 9 ppg above their normal average and win fmvp

dennis rodman wasnt an all-star alongside jordan and hadn't been an allstar since 1992..
pippen was the only current all-star that jordan played with in his entire career, whereas lebron played with 6 different all-stars, and played with 2 all-star teammates every year since 2011 (edit: love missed asg in 15' and 16')

kukoc averaged 13 ppg with poor defense, and the other players you mentioned were single-digit guys that that
every team has some form of.. i.e. kerr was a good floor-spreader, but every team has a solid shooter somewhere on the bench, and they probably play better D
obviously, bit bench players that every team possesses are not the factors that make a team "super".. we all know that it's the "super" in "superstars" that makes a super-team.. and lebron simply played with more superstars and all-stars - 4 superstars and 2 all-stars to be exact
