While I agree that 5 Lebrons would beat 5 Jordans...
I still believe the Jordan is the GOAT. Here's why:

--Jordan made all the players around him better. Pippen was only Pippen (I still don't get how he made the list of top 50 NBA players of all time a few years back) when he played with Jordan. Absent Jordan he wasn't that special.

--Jordan was hyper-competitive. He never took a game or a half or even a quarter off. He always brought his A game and was always completely engaged. I don't always see the same from Lebron.

--Jordan held his teammates accountable. Stories have come out about how tough he was to be around sometimes because of it, but there was no slacking off when Jordan was around.

So, physically, Lebron wins. But as GOAT, it's still Jordan, at least for now.
