Easier to build a championship team around bird, curry or lebron yet they all only won 3 championship each compare to jordans 6. As soon as jordan had an all star player his team winning championships. Could have been 8 straight if he didnt retire during his prime when his dad left him. You want o win a championship? You get a guy who has the highest scoring avg and steals in the playoffs and never played a bad finals series unlike those 3 players you mentioned. Lebron and curry have had multiple bad finals series

Yes, easier to build a championship team around them.  You're using a quirk in history that Jordan did win championships because his team was excellent as proof.  Jordan could just as easily have never won a championship in his whole career if not for the right events that he could not control.

If championships are the measure, Bill Russell wins.

Again, I'm looking at the players and what wins games.  I'm not limiting my view to who happened to play better in a 30 game stretch.

What 30 game stretch you on about? You know what wins games? Defense, scoring and will to win and thats what jordan was best at. He never melted down at ant point of his career and always pushed his team and exerted his will. And you know why you should build your team around jordan over lebron? Loyalty. He wont cut and run and is willing to stay and build a good team into a great franchise. That doesnt happen by taking your talents wherever you can win championship. You still havent told me any good reason why you would build a team around bird curry or lebron over jordan.
