The comparisons to Jordan for every player is simply unfair. Lebron is an ungodly athlete, and chances are he'll play elite ball well into his 30s, but the mileage on Lebron is unlike Jordan -

When Jordan won his 3rd, he was 30 with 661 regular season games, 111 playoff games, 3 finals runs, and 1 Olympic run to the gold medal game.

Lebron enters this year with 842 regular season games, 158 playoff games, 5 finals runs, 3 Olympic runs (2 to the last possible game). He's played more basketball right today than anyone.

That's over 2 seasons more games that Lebron has played, and another half season in playoffs. Plus Jordan got a year and a half off of basketball.
