This has been said for a while, and by several other NBA players. I actually agree with it.
Chicago Bulls power forward Taj Gibson, right after his team defeated the Cleveland Cavaliers off a buzzer beater Friday night, called LeBron James “the Michael Jordan of our generation.”
Taj Gibson on LeBron: "He's the Michael Jordan of our generation."

It’s honestly a pretty random thing to say after a game like this, considering that LeBron’s performance throughout the whole game was very un-Jordan like. Many turnovers, poor shooting and a crucial missed layup at the end doesn’t help Taj’s statement.
I can see where he is coming from, though.
