Don't forget all but tonight's title was coming from the Eastern Conference. LeBron faced weak competition the majority of the time. The West has almost always been the more competitive conference since Jordan retired. Who knows how many titles he would have won had he played tougher teams on the way to the finals.
He's still 4-6 in the finals. To me Jordan going 6-0 against tough teams almost every single time puts him still at #1. LeBron also had Wade for his two titles in Miami. Wade is every bit the player Pippen was. I'd say pretty much on par with one another.
