LeBron James discusses Michael Jordan's influence on him, comparisons in GOAT debate
LeBron fires back at the idea it was better to lose before the Finals rather than not make it there at all.
As LeBron James nears the end of his career (whether it is after this season, the next one, or even further down the road), the GOAT debate between him and Michael Jordan is only going to grow louder. LeBron talked about Jordan and that debate in a series of discussions with ESPN throughout the season . "I never have compared myself to MJ because our games are totally different," James said.
"I have been a point-forward/forward-point my whole life. I have always looked for the pass. MJ kind of looked for the shot.
Not kind of, he did. He looked for the shot. There are a lot of things where I would say my game is a lot different and a little better than his, but s***, he was f****** great.
We're both great. We're both great basketball players. " LeBron also talked about how Jordan influenced and inspired him.
