The NBA world has had a long-standing argument, about who is the greatest of all time. Now generations have passed and although everyone knows that there cannot be a unanimous decision, the conversations continue in full swing. There is however a difference in the way an athlete looks at another athlete and how fans do. So, when it comes to two of the biggest names in NBA history, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, who are better than an ex-teammate of both.

Due to them being from different generations, not many have had the privilege to play alongside both. In fact, there are only four players in the history of the game who have shared the locker room with the two greats. Recently, one of the four said players talked about what it was like to play alongside MJ in his prime.

The Michael Jordan, LeBron James debate gets a new angle

Debating over who the GOAT is might never go out of trend. Every generation has had its own version of greatness. Right from Chamberlain, Bird, and Magic to Curry and Jokic, the supply of greatness has been endless. That brings the question, of whether we can determine who was/is the greatest across generations. This is where the conversation comes to a halt, as it is impossible to reach at a conclusion acceptable to all.

However, there is a different perspective provided by Scott Williams, who has been lucky enough to play with both the greats. Williams is currently on a press run for his book titled Through The Fire. During an interview, the 55-year-old was asked the obvious question. Since he is one of four who have shared the stage with the two legends, Williams’s opinion on the debate would mean a little bit more. He was with the Chicago Bulls from 1990-94 where he won 3 championships. Then he shared a locker room with LeBron during 2004-05 with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

Williams said that he played with LeBron when he was just starting out, but he did get to see his rise over the years. However, with Jordan, Williams saw him in his absolute prime when he ran the league all by himself. Williams said, “He would take players? confidence from them and it did not matter who that player was to the point where they would be left thinking I can?t beat this guy.” Adding that MJ would give his opponents sleepless nights, he said that His Airness was invincible during his prime.

“That?s how he robbed players and he just delivered in a way that everyone expected him to deliver, but he still found ways to surpass their expectations,” Williams added.
