This can’t be a serious debate anymore after watching The Last Dance and how different the NBA was back then compared to now. With that being said LeBron James https://t.co/mCTjAQDaEw

Like a typical debate, there were also people who were neutral. While many debated as to who was better, there were people claiming each of them should have their own recognition for their own greatness.
In light of “the last dance” airing tonight, this reminder: michael jordan was great…lebron james is great. It’s not necessary to pick one, or slander one to affirm the other.
