Michael Jordan or LeBron James, it’s a never-ending GOAT debate! Michael Jordan became a sensation for the Bulls, he’s helped popularize the game in European countries. Although he didn’t win his first championship until 1991, fans kept hearing about a player who was the greatest to ever step on a basketball court. We’re talking about an era that saw Hall-of-Famers like Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Charles Barkley, and many more.

On the other hand, LeBron James was considered the biggest prospect since MJ, there were expectations of him, that if hadn’t been achieved, he’d have been considered a burst. James always looked up to Jordan as his idol, and last year he even expressed his burning desire to overtake Michael Jordan. However, fans have been in splits about who the GOAT is one group thinks MJ is better, and the other claims James for his longevity and unparalleled athleticism.

NBA analyst argues that MJ’s legacy is affected after Hornets failed tenure

It’s clear that Jordan’s Charlotte Hornets tenure as an owner failed miserably. The team only reached two playoffs, since he took over the ownership. Amidst the reported $3B sale of the team, His Airness made a profit for himself even with such a poor record. NBA analyst Nick Wright presented an argument on the show “The Herd with Colin Cowherd”, he said, “Michael Jordan’s ownership tenure of the Hornets was identical to his playing tenure when Scottie Pippen wasn’t his teammate.”

A clip from the said argument was posted on Twitter from the show’s official handle, and Michael Jordan fans couldn’t hold it together, they rallied to defend their idol. One fan in response to the tweet said, “LeBron truthers are getting really desperate. Deep down they know James will never, not ever, overtake MJ as the GOAT.” Here are a few more reactions:

One James fan chimed in, tweeting, “Here come Jordan stans disregarding logic to attack Nick.”?

Another one said, “I only agree if people are using LeBron being a GM argument otherwise it?s strictly on the court for me.”

Yet another one said, “Thank you for your opinion but no.”

Michael Jordan or LeBron James, who’s the real GOAT?

It appears a surprise, but MJ and LeBron, the legacy rivals have never played against each other. They are both exciting and talented players. Jordan won 6 NBA championships and was one of the greatest ever. People didn’t expect another player like him. But then LeBron James entered the league and won 4 titles with 3 different franchises.

LeBron is the leading points scorer in NBA history, a feat that remained with the great Kareem Abdul Jabbar for the next 34 years after his retirement. There will always be arguments on who’s the better player, but for NBA fans MJ and James are generational players who we will not see their other kind in the foreseeable future.
