As the MJ-Lebron debate is reignited, misconception surrounding Michael’s legend remains a problem. However, Lebron James has some distinct advantages of his own.
As Michael Jordan watches Lebron James play through his 15th season, I believe one thought utterly consumes him:
“This should have been me.”
Through 1,072 games, Lebron James has simply been a better basketball player than Michael Jordan.
Because I believe in simple, self-explanatory truths—like basketball is a team sport, and beating a great team is a lot harder than beating really good team—I believe Lebron to be the best regardless of the number of championships either player won.
