1. There is more to basketball then numbers.
2. Getting numbers like those, tough extremely impressive, are distorted by the fact that the Cavs don't have consistent defensive rebounders, they don't have many players that can score and they have one of the worst point guard situations in the NBA.
Their offense is also completely structured around Lebron, with him only really having to give up the ball if he can't make a play.
Lebron had a great year this year, but he won't win the MVP until he puts up numbers close to those on a good team and they finish number 1 or 2 in their conference. However, I highly doubt Lebron puts up those type of numbers on a team that has multiple scoring options, a good center and players who can pass, while structuring their offense on everyone, not one person.
Thats what made Jordan so special. He put up numbers like those on a extremely deep and talented team. The offense wasn't just about him, and everyone could pass score and rebound.
