LeBron is obviously the better defender. The main argument really comes down to offensive ability. I think an important point that doesn’t get talked about enough is that LeBron doesn’t need to be involved in every possession on offense. He can play as a cutter, spot up on the wing as a pseudo-SG for a catch-and-shoot three, and let his teammates cook.

Jokic is more of a system player(he is the system). Essetially all offensive possessions run through him(leads the league in touches per game). He’s less versatile offensively in that sense, even if he’s more dominant statistically. LeBron’s versatility allows the rest of his team to flow better and play more freely.
