Michael Jordan Compared To LeBron James After Season Debut
Michael Jordan has long been debated to be the GOAT in basketball by a large percentage of fans. However, another strong percentage feel that LeBron James is the GOAT in the game, with both fan groups often taking shots at each other.
With James finally making his season debut for the Lakers a day earlier, fans immediately took to the comments to compare the hooper with Jordan. James only managed 11 points for the team after he made his return to the court after struggling with sciatica. Many fans of the Lakers legend trolled MJ that an injured James is the same as the retired hooper when he was in his prime.
Of course, there were also many who felt that James’s return to the Lakers is not a good sign for the team, especially since the team is doing so well right now with Luka Doncic leading on the scoreboard.
