Jordan was blessed with having the greatest NBA coach of all time to guide his team. After coaching Jordan to 6 titles, Phil Jackson went on to win another 5 with the Lakers.

Lebron's coaches have been pedestrian in comparison. That's one reason the comparison is so difficult between the two.

LeBron has been hand-picking his whole team for a decade now. If he was unable to find a decent coach, which is not subject to the same restrictions as stacking the team with all-star players, then that shortcoming is also entirely on LeBron.

And Phil Jackson's championships were on team's featuring arguably three of the greatest players of all times: Jordan, O'Neal, and Briant. I wouldn't argue that O'Neal and Briant's rings were a result of Phil Jackson.

Popovich never coached Jordan.
