All I'm laying out is the reasoning as to why Lebron's current trajectory is on-par with Jordan's (when you compare their respective accomplishments by the age of 31). I actually think what Lebron has done by age 31 is slightly *more* impressive than what Jordan accomplished - but Jordan closed so strong in the final chapters of his career that Bron has a lot of work to do just to stay on-par with that, let alone surpass it.

That said - outside of Jordan (and perhaps Kareem) - I don't see persuasive arguments being made for anybody else usurping Bron as the #2/#3 ATG.
