LeBron can play all 5. He can defend all if 5 need be. He is an incredible player with many a moment and accomplishment..,but, Jordan is still better IMO.

Another feather in Jordan's cap is the era he played in defenses got away with a lot more than they do now. The flagrant foul did not even become rule till his 7th year, and the following years was not enforced like it is today. I remember after one play-off game against the Pistons in the late 80's during an interview Jordan had welts all over his head. Detroit had lower end bench players whose main purpose was to use their fouls to rough up Jordan and try to get in his head. He pretty much got mugged every time he drove the lane, he has to be the toughest player all time of his size.
