Before looking at their list of achievements, we will need to consider the impact that player retirements and major injuries had on preventing Michael Jordan and LeBron James from playing entire seasons. Jordan essentially played 13 seasons compared to LeBron's 17, making Jordan's significant lead in achievements even more impressive.

    Looking at the Honors and Awards chart, we can see that Jordan wins for the categories of: Regular Season Most Valuable Player, NBA Finals Most Valuable Player, Scoring Titles, and All-Defensive First Team. In comparison, LeBron captured the All-NBA First Team category as his only accomplishment over Jordan. After looking at these player achievements, Jordan wins in the Achievement category by a margin of 4-1.
