Okay, so I got curious the other day about what Michael Jordan really thinks of LeBron James. It’s one of those endless debates, right? So, I decided to dig in and see what I could find.
My Little Investigation
First, I hit up Google. You know, the usual – “Jordan on LeBron,” “Michael Jordan LeBron James relationship,” that kind of stuff. I found a bunch of articles and videos, mostly just rehashing old quotes and opinions.
Then, I dove into some YouTube videos. I watched a few interviews with Jordan, trying to read between the lines. It’s tough because Jordan is pretty good at keeping his cards close to his chest, you know?
I also checked out some sports forums and comment sections. Big mistake! It’s just a war zone of fanboys arguing. But, I did see some interesting points, mixed in with all the yelling.
- Some people pointed out that Jordan has praised LeBron’s skills on multiple occasions.
- Others mentioned that Jordan is super competitive, so he might not ever fully embrace anyone challenging his “GOAT” status.
- A few folks brought up the fact that they play in different eras, making direct comparisons tricky.
After all that, I came to my own, totally unofficial conclusion. I think Jordan respects LeBron, like, he acknowledges his talent and achievements. But, does he like him like a buddy? I’m not so sure. It feels more like a professional respect, with maybe a little bit of that competitive rivalry mixed in.
It is all that I’ve done. I spent time searching but I still have the conclusion myself that this is all very complicated.
