LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan: Why the GOAT debate is different now

There is an amazing clip from ESPN's The Jump in April 2018, the day after LeBron James' fourth career postseason game-winning buzzer-beater -- a 3-pointer that put his Cleveland Cavaliers up 3-2 in their first-round series against the Indiana Pacers.

That gave LeBron one more postseason walk-off shot than Michael Jordan, who of course played fewer playoff games than LeBron -- 81 fewer after James and the Los Angeles Lakers clinched the franchise's 17th NBA title Sunday. Rachel Nichols, host of The Jump, displayed Jordan and James' respective numbers on go-ahead shots in the last five seconds of the fourth quarter and overtime in playoff games.
