In terms of pure skill, Kevin Durant could easily be considered a GOAT. He is great at any position, has a height advantage, capable of shooting from anywhere, plays solid defense, and is very reliable.
As a team player however, Jordan simply worked in a way LeBron doesn't. People forget that Jordan beat over 20 teams with a 50+ win record. LeBron has only faced around 8-11.
Sure, Jordan lost several times in the playoffs, but can you blame him? The man had to face some of the most cruel teams to exist. Also, unlike LeBron, he's 6-0 in the finals and never needed a game 7.
Whe Jordan takes over, it's done. Rodman struggled and Pippen had back pain in Game 6 against the Jazz (which had 2 hall of famers), and yet Jordan triumphed.
