No comparison....

BIRD pts fg% reb asst steals blk to
rookie 21.3 47% 10 4.5 143 53 263
year 2 21.2 47% 10.7 5.5 161 63 289
year 3 22.9 50% 10.9 5.8 143 66 254
year 4 23.6 50% 11 5.8 148 71 240

LeBron
rookie 20.9 41% 5.5 5.9 130 58 273
year 2 27.2 47% 7.4 7.2 177 52 262
year 3 31.4 48% 7.1 6.6 123 66 260
year 4 27.3 48% 7.1 7.0 125 55 250

seems like a pretty close comparison when you consider Bird was 3 years older at every stage...
