Kevin Durant Gives His Opinion On Michael Jordan vs LeBron

Former and current NBA players have picked a side in the Michael Jordan vs LeBron James debate and Kevin Durant has something to say about the whole situation. Would he throw himself in the GOAT debate? We wouldn’t be surprised because Durant has an army of fans supporting his back, too. Well, that’s not the case this time.

The Brooklyn Nets veteran won’t be wasting his time in this case. He mentioned the discussion in an episode of Boardroom’s “The ETCs” and we are not even surprised.

“I think LeBron will be in that realm of… you in a place by yourself. Like, no comparison to what Michael Jordan did, it’s just different,” Durant said. “It’s not like Jordan’s one and you two. It’s just ya’ll are both something we’ve never seen before.”

That’s a good point. Why bother picking a side when you can say both superstars do a good job on the basketball court? Durant didn’t even compare LeBron to Jordan because he is unique. His leadership skills are unique and Durant knows it. Jordan played in a different era and LeBron does things differently. His basketball IQ is sharp and his photographic memory helps him “scan” opponents.

“You’re both unique, and sitting in your own areas of greatness,” Durant added. “When you see everybody in the same room like that, you just realize ‘why the hell are we comparing these guys like they [going to] play against each other?’ … There’s no need for us to compare their careers. It’s just what you prefer.”

Skip Bayless wouldn’t agree on this one. He is not a fan of LeBron. He even said that MJ is the GOAT. We all know that he just hates LeBron despite his success and his opinion won’t affect the discussion.

Durant spends a lot of time on social media fighting with trolls but he is not having a piece of this cake. He is too busy winning games. The Nets don’t have the best record but they look good on the basketball floor.
