We talked a bit the other day about the retirement of LeBron James, whether it happens this year or later, and how the comparisons between James and Michael Jordan would only increase.
This video touches on that argument, but with a nice twist: it’s a collection of opinions from NBA players.
Tracy McGrady sides firmly with Jordan. Scottie Pippen says that it’s Jordan because James wouldn’t necessarily be The Guy in the clutch. Patrick Ewing goes with Jordan, saying that he’s an “assassin” where James is more of a facilitator.
Shaquille O’ Neal says it’s Jordan but that he thinks his plan is (was) to move past Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the all-time scoring list and let that essentially be his argument.
