2611811, The answer is LeBron because of size, not skillset

Jordan had a 32ppg/8rpg/8apg season so it isn't that he can't be the 'do it all' guy. He just doesn't fit squarely into that peg.

Magic would never be the guy to get you 35 nightly if that's what you needed. Again, Magic could score and he could get 35 but doesn't fit squarely.

LeBron isn't a natural scorer but because of his size, he could get 30 nightly and he has better rebounding ability than both Jordan and Magic given his athletic ability. He's more physically gifted than both due to his size/strength. And he's a better defender than Magic when keyed in.

I think you couldn't go wrong with either of these 3 or Cap but Bron fills more holes when there are deficits than anyone on the list. His only draw back is heart/finishing. If he had more gumption and a slightly more fluid offensive game which allowed him to create better shots for himself when defenses clamped late in games, he'd literally be the perfect basketball player.
