Fellow NBA star proclaims LeBron James to be GOAT ahead of Michael Jordan
Draymond Green recently endorsed LeBron James and gave his perspective on the GOAT discussion.
Green gave his analysis on a recent "Throwing Bones" episode, where he cited LeBron James' longevity as the basis for his excellence. The Warriors star appreciates how James never took any breaks from basketball, unlike Michael Jordan, who retired from the game three times.
"What LeBron has been able to do and how he can control the game and to do it this long — MJ retired. This s**t‘s grueling. Going to the Finals year after year after year, Bron went eight or nine straight years. M.J. took a break in right in the heat of that s**t. Bron ain’t take no break.”
James, who is in his 20th NBA season at the age of 37, doesn't seem to have changed much from his younger self. "The King" continues to consistently put up amazing scoring performances despite his age. In fact, he's already on the way to beating the all-time record of points held by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. NBA analysts predict that James could beat the record by the All-Star break.
At this point in his career, LeBron James has done it all and is a future Hall of Famer. Four NBA titles, four Finals MVPs, four NBA MVPs, a 17-time All-Star and one of the top ten players in almost every stat line, James has surpassed Michael Jordan and Magic Johnson in both scoring and passing. The only thing left to do is dethrone Abdul-Jabbar for most career points to further cement his legacy.
