Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest player to ever play the game of basketball by numerous players, legends, and NBA pundits. He has broken numerous records, put up big numbers, and set records of his own that would go on to stand the stride of time. But there are many who would pick LeBron James instead as the greatest of all time. And now, the two share one more record, albeit this is not something James would have wanted to.
With the loss to the Philadelphia 76ers in his previous match, LeBron James suffered the worst defeat of his career. And ironically, Michael Jordan also suffered the worst loss of his career at the exact same age. So whether it is fate or sheer coincidence, both who are in this long-standing debate of the GOAT now share this least-desirable stat.
