The main thing for me is... the game was really rough / brutal back then. It was almost like a street fight. Jordan was able to play the way he was with people grabbing him and bumping into him hard AF. Meanwhile people like Lebron can barely function if someone tries to block his shot.
Just a way different game / environment.
Highlight reels of Caitlin Clark getting beat up don't even come close to how the NBA was during Jordan's era.

Jordan was lucky to escape injury against the Pistons 88-91. He bulked up, built up the Bulls with his unwavering loyalty, and then they stomped the Pistons out of the playoffs on their home court, leading to the infamous no hand shake walk off. Lebron brought 1 championship to his draft team before he went to "greener pastures" since he couldnt anchor a team.
