LeBron James Explains Why He Is A Better Player Than Michael Jordan Even Though He’s 3-6 In The NBA Finals

LeBron James is pretty confident about the statements he makes. When it comes to the GOAT debate, LeBron believes he is better than Michael Jordan. LeBron and Jordan have been part of this debate for quite some time and it revolves around the NBA Finals. On one occasion the Lakers forward said he always chases the ghost of Chicago. But, LeBron also believes he is the GOAT. Yes, he believes he is the greatest basketball player of all times for the title he won with the Cleveland Cavaliers.

LeBron claims he is better than the Bulls icon. During an Instagram live session, LeBron delivered a few Jordan-related messages. When asked about this comparison, LeBron was pretty clear.

“No disrespect at all, that’s not my intention, but I wanna make this clear,” he said. “MJ, he has nothing to do against me. I just think that this era is the best one in history, and even though Mike was my role model when I was a kid, he has nothing to do against me. I just saw a video of him trying to guard Magic… That man was lost. Magic was cooking him. What y’all think would have happened if he goes against me? Both in our primes? No doubt about it. I would beat him easily. I’m better than him.”

LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan despite the NBA Finals

A video of the Bulls icon trying to guard King James triggered an avalanche of reactions. Some say LeBron would never find a way to cope with Jordan. But, this didn’t change his opinion of himself.

“A lot of people be saying he went 6-0 in the Finals while I’ve lost six Finals and only won three,” the king added. “He didn’t have to go past Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson or Kevin Durant. He didn’t have to face the Spurs with the big 3 plus a young Kawhi, MJ had Scottie, Rodman, Kerr, Kukoc and several other players to help him. I’m tired of hearing people saying he carried those teams because that’s not true. He had a lot of help.”

The Los Angeles Lakers had an incredible season. However, the NBA decided to suspend the 2019-20 season due to the coronavirus. But, there are also reports about the league’s next move. They may take the games to the Bahamas. If this happens, LeBron will get a chance to show everyone that he is the GOAT. LA sits on top of the Western Conference. They are chasing the Milwaukee Bucks.
