It’s all in the Game Yo
No but he'd be assertive and aggressiveand not defer to a 25 year old 2nd best player on his team during every 4th quarter of that series.

Switching LeBron with Kobe would be disastrous for the Lakers precisely because LeBron is so statistically dominant.
LeBron won't be averaging seven assists with the Lakers. It is an equal opportunity offense. Everyone is a threat. The Lakers would be much worse if they relied on LeBron setting people up as their offensive scheme. The Lakers have great passers throughout the roster and having one guy control the offense makes it too predictable to work.
LeBron wouldn't average seven rebounds on the Lakers. Gasol is a better player when he boards. Bynum is a better player when he boards. Odom is a better player when he boards. Basketball is about letting each person contribute to their strengths.
Kobe understands that his team is stronger when he doesn't do it all. Players feel a greater sense of ownership in the game when they are contributing and when they feel they can have substantial influence on the outcome of the game.
LeBron wouldn't be No. 1 in player efficiency rating on the Lakers because championship players understand that they must allow others to produce and allow others to make their mark on each game.

Neither Jordan nor Kobe would have disappeared in the 4th quarter of 3 straight NBA Finals games, either.
See that? What I said ACTUALLY happened.
They wouldn't be close

Game 1 and 2 were blow outs in the 4Q...
In game 3 LeBron scored 7 points in the 4Q, he gave Korver a good look to ice the game and it didn't go down, Kobe and MJ would have 100% taken and made the shot though right, they didn't miss over a hundred gamewinning shots combined.
In game 4 the Cavs had a blowout in the 4Q...
In game 5, LeBron scored 14 points in the 4Q...
They wouldn't have good defensive efficiency playing 45+ minutes a night and carrying a large offensive burden like LeBron has to, also there's no way those 6'6 205 pound guys are defending a 7 foot-KD on a mission. KD doesn't force anything in isolation, he scores in the flow of the greatest offense of All-Time.

The Warriors have the firepower, but I think the Bulls could eke out a 7 game series because of their smothering defense. Durant would not score the same way with Pippen on him. He'd get his buckets because he's among the best scorers the league has ever seen, but he would have to work hard for those buckets. Jordan would frustrate Curry with his on ball defense. Curry can be forced into silly errors and mental lapses when you apply pressure on him and no team played the passing lanes better than the 90s Bulls. They would have so many points off of turnovers it's not funny. Ron Harper at 6'6 would have been long enough to guard Klay Thompson so you don't have to worry about a smaller guard like Kyrie on him. That leaves Rodman and Longley down low. They would absolutely feast on the boards and rack up a ton of offensive boards. On the opposite end of the court, who is going to stop Jordan? He is too explosive for Durant and too big for Curry. Your best bet would be Klay Thompson. They would either have to leave Klay one on one to guard MJ and let him try his best to stop him from averaging 40 pts in the series or double him up and leave shooters like Kerr and Kukoc open. There are some games of course where Golden State's shots will be falling for them and they are just throwing up shots and having them hit the bucket, but more often than not the Bulls would wear them down on the defensive end. Durant would average 30, but Curry's numbers would go down. You can rotate Pippen and Jordan on him, and he would find it difficult to get any easy buckets.
