Michael Jordan hung up his Nike shoes in April 2003 after giving the game nearly 20 years (with a few breaks) in the same year, just six months later, a star was born when LeBron James played his first NBA game with the Cleveland Cavaliers in October
As fate wills, the two stars could never play as opponents But, on paper, they’ve been continuously locking the horns against each other since Bron’s rookie year Both men have accomplished so much in their careers that it is almost impossible to tell which is better and on what scale But some people have clearly understood this!
In a recent interview, US sports analyst Chris Broussard revealed an anecdote about the coverage of LeBron James’ NBA championship win for the Cavs in 2016 This victory was of great significance to the city of Cleveland The only championship in the four major sports they had ever won before, that of 1964, when the Cleveland Browns won an NFL championship
He said: “It was great to cover this final and to be there for these games It was a great experience and I remember on the pitch as they celebrate the championship victory and everyone goes mad, Rich Paul; LeBron’s agent is in my ear [saying], « You know, he’s the greatest ever! Do you know he’s the GOAT? Jordan couldn’t have done that !! « He’s trying to put it in my ear, so I’m gonna go on TV and say something like that [laughs] But yeah, man, it was just good to live that »
LeBron James’ agent Rich Paul told Chris Broussard that LeBron James was better than Michael Jordan after the 2016 Cavs NBA Finals win: https: // tco / k6mfkyHthI
« You know he’s the greatest of all time! » You know he’s the GOAT! Jordan couldn’t have done that !! «
LeBron James did for the Cavaliers what Kawhi Leonard did for the Raptors and Dirk Nowitzki for the Dallas Mavericks They all got their franchise, his first (and only) NBA title The Akron Hammer even took a length in advance by demolishing the « Cleveland Sports Curse » for 52 years
But that’s also what Michael Jordan did In fact, after winning the first Chicago Bulls championship, he helped them win six more. The legend only left his franchise when a front office controversy led to the entire winning combination being broken for them.
However, head-to-head LeBron James now has more points / rebounds / assists / blocks against MJ But he has yet to beat Jordan in his total career steals But the numbers alone can’t say who was better as times were different and so were the challenges So let’s leave that to the experts to decide on that and provide an answer once LeBron retires from the game
