LeBron James or Michael Jordan? A former NBA star speaks out!

Gary Payton, the former Seattle SuperSonics star point guard who went toe-to-toe with Shawn Kemp in the mid-1990s, offered a bombshell statement about the robust LeBron-Jordan debate.

“LeBron James is by far a better all-around basketball player than Michael Jordan!”

This statement will further reignite a never-ending debate between the two greatest players in NBA history, regardless of the order.

If LeBron has a more versatile game, the MJ faithful will argue that he has six championship rings with the same team, the Chicago Bulls.

But without Scottie Pippen… would he have done it?

In the KING‘s case, he has four championships with three different clubs, the Miami Heat (2x), the Cleveland Cavaliers and the Los Angeles Lakers, which is far from trivial.

In short, the incisive comments rain under this publication, here is a pro MJ and a pro BronBron!

MJ was the best offensive & arguably the best defender in the game. And there’s only 2 sides of the ball, offense & defense. So, not sure how LJ is better because he’s for damn sure not better at either.

Winning has nothing to do with individual greatness, winning is a team accomplished, MJ never won ish without scottie pippen n the rest of the well built bulls dynasty in the 90s, he ain’t win in the 80s for a reason n he was the favorite every year in the 90s … for a reason
