MJ: 6'4 (7/8) and 213.
MJ: 6'4 (7/8) and 213. In 1992 he set a personal record by benching 265 lbs. One of the quickest and most explosive athletes ever. Combined this with unparalleled competitiveness, above average game sense, and elite skills.
Lebron: 6'9 and weighs 265.
Where MJ has advantages: handles. Hand speed. Competitiveness. Energy. Late game mid range jump shot.
Where Lebron has advantages: driving to the rim. Finishing at the rim. Can guard 5 positions. Strength. Peak jump reach. Wingspan. 3 point shot. Passing. Rebounding. Versatility. Play making. Running an offense. Vision.
MJ was the greatest. But Lebron is better than Jordan by as much as Jordan was better than Kobe.
