Jordan mental attributes were far better than LeBron's. In fact, they were his best attribute, his mentality was above the rest and that's the main reason he was the best.
However, we are comparing 2 different things here, as we are comparing basketball in the late 80s & 90s with basketball today, and believe me, go watch those videos again, it's a very different sport. Defenses are better, offensives are played more open, less medium range shots and much more 3p shots are taken now, players run faster and are stronger, etc... so how can we compare this guys? Take this example, Bird is famous worldwide as a great 3p shooter, well he had less than 1 3P a game, shot hardly above 38% BUT he played with 4 or 5 HoF so he could shoot most of his 3P after receiving a pass, with both feet on the floor and not off the dribble as most superstars have to shoot today.
If we are comparing mental attributes Jordan is above the rest by a big margin.
If we are comparing who was more important in his time Jordan also wins.
BUT if we are trying to compare stats that's impossible as they don't face the same opposition and don't play the same kinda basketball.
AND finally, if we are trying to fake a time machine and put Lebron as he is now playing in the past, I'm quite sure he would be the best player and would dominate the League even above Jordan as he is taller, faster and stronger and has a very close talent. But is just an opinion, it's impossible to prove any of this.
