The NBA world has witnessed many generational talents over its history, but the GOAT debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is almost never-ending. Fans often use unique analogies to prove that their idol is the greatest. However, a recent Michael Jordan update left LeBron James fans fuming as they flooded the comments section on Twitter with their harsh opinions. Moreover, they were seemingly upset that the MJ update dropped almost parallel to ‘King James’ historic moment, and some blamed MJ for his “insecurity”. 

The Los Angeles Lakers great has had an eventful season so far as he impressed the NBA world with consistent performances and records. Notably, the 19x NBA All-Star recently achieved the massive feat of scoring 40+ scores against all NBA teams. Additionally, the Lakers star is all set to surpass the monumental NBA record held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. James is only 62 points short of Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading points scorer in the NBA.

A Michael Jordan update collides with a LeBron James moment

ESPN recently announced that they would celebrate February 3 (2/3/2023) as Michael Jordan day. Meanwhile, fans are looking forward to seeing LeBron James make history in the coming days. ESPN added their network would feature highlights and content related to the Chicago Bulls legend throughout the day. However, when a Twitter handle shared the update on their timeline, the fans swarmed the comments with opinions.
