Shannon Sharpe Floats Theory On Why LeBron is Better Than Michael Jordan

LeBron James and Michael Jordan are part of the GOAT debate. NBA analysts have discussed their similarities and differences. Shannon Sharpe shared his take on the debate. Sharpe believes that LeBron is better than the Chicago Bulls icon. Wonder why? Sharpe has a few great words for LeBron. He also delivered a lesson for Skip Bayless.

“A guy that’s pass first is the 3rd all-time leading scorer,” he said, “and a guy that’s score first is the 5th all-time leading scorer, let that sink in for just a second.”

The great Jordan had career averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game. The Bulls icon won six championships in the six NBA Finals his team played.

The Lakers superstar is averaging 27.1 points, 7.4 rebounds and 7.4 assists per game in his professional career. LeBron has three championships under his belt. His teams made the NBA Finals on nine occasions. Maybe this season will be more successful for LeBron and the Lakers.

NBA fans didn’t really get a chance to see the best player of one generation confront the best player of another generation. Jordan retired in 2003, a few months before the Cavaliers signed LeBron.

Sharpe says LeBron is better than Jordan

King James is pretty serious about his games, and many believe that he deserves the NBA MVP award this season. LeBron has put up some great numbers, and he is much better than Milwaukee Bucks Giannis Antetokounmpo. Although Giannis was considered a favorite, it’s more than obvious that LeBron had a more successful game.

The NBA suspended the season, and LeBron may not get a chance to win more games. This situation may not improve in the next few weeks, so the NBA may bring the season to an end. Several players tested positive for the coronavirus, including Rudy Gobert, Donovan Mitchell and Kevin Durant. Two Lakers players have the virus, too. LeBron is healthy. The same applies to Anthony Davis and JaVale McGee.
