MJ vs LeBron: Who had a better playoff career?

A thread

(All stats used are playoff stats unless otherwise mentioned)

This took a very long time but I hope you all enjoy and hopefully learned something, rts are appreciated as always!
First, letā€™s look at MJā€™s first playoff series. In 1985, during his rookie year, MJ lead the Bulls to the playoffs on a team that only had 2 other players scoring above 10.0 PPG. They would meet the Bucks, who featured Terry Cummings and Sidney Moncrief.
The Bucks were second in the East that year, a team what was anchored by its defense. MJ and the Bulls were only able to take one game of 4, simply being outgunned.
MJ averaged 29.3 PPG, 8.5 APG, 5.8 RPG, 2.8 steals, and one block.
LeBron did not make the playoffs in his rookie year or sophomore season, so we stay with MJ and his 1985 and 1986 playoff runs.
MJ and the retooled Bulls faced the legendary Celtics dynasty in both years. MJ was never able to win a game against the Celtics, letā€™s find out why.
