Former Michael Jordan teammate and Chicago Bulls broadcaster Stacey King calls LeBron James’ podcast, Mind the Game, The Cry Me A River Podcast, and states what everybody has said. Trying to convince people that you’re the greatest is unbecoming of greatness.
Stacey King goes in on LeBron and Kevin Durant: “Great players don’t have to tell people they’re great, you let fans do that, you let people debate it on talk radio and podcasts.”
Criticism That Has Haunted Lebron and Kevin
It also notes that LeBron and KD are attempting to utilize longevity to position themselves alongside Jordan. King also highlights that Jordan played 82 games in a season nine times, while LeBron has accomplished this only once.
It is noted that the Rockets’ small forward, Kevin Durant, has not been able to achieve championships without Warriors point guard Steph Curry and has faced challenges in Brooklyn and Phoenix. LeBron James faced criticism for his comments about winning eight championships with Miami.
Comparing All Time Great Players Will Never Stop
The quality of one’s work is what is most important. When individuals resort to criticizing others to elevate their own status, it ultimately undermines their argument. Additionally, it is common for everyone to be compared to Michael Jordan, rather than the reverse.
The discussion highlights a generational divide, with ’90s legends advocating for Jordan’s dominance in contrast to modern stars. Michael Jordan, LeBron James, and Kevin Durant each represent their own version of greatness, and the debate is likely to continue.
