Before we get started with #TheLastDance let's not forget the greatest basketball player of all time is LeBron James. Otherwise known as King James or GOAT James. That is all.
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.
Can we all try to just enjoy the documentary and not compare every second of it to LeBron James?
