The sky is the limit for LeBron with the skills he has, one day he could be better than MJ. MJ was about more than skills though (even though he had plenty) he understood the game so well and he had a will to win that only a few have. If LeBron can compete at that level then he has the tools to surpass MJ imo.

from wat i've seen, michael could carry the team when the other members of his team couldnt score
The key word here is "score". The Bulls were more complete than the Cavs and we all know that basketball is a lot more than just shooting the ball well. The Bulls as a team were a hell of a lot better defensively specifically. Check out the 1994 Bulls (Jordan's 1st retirement year). Bulls did pretty damn well, just not championship caliber without Jordan. Cavs are next to nothing without Lebron.
Anyway, I think Lebron EASILY has the tools to be better. However, there is a big difference between being better than somebody and having a more successful career. It will be hard to top 6 championships with 6 Finals MVPs. But as far as better? I think Lebron has a great chance.
