Everyone believes Michael Jordan is still the greatest basketball player to ever walk this earth. That seems to be heading for a change soon – if things continue working out great for LeBron James.
A Stellar Career
At 33, and having managed 15 seasons in the pitch, LeBron has had quite a stint as a player. He’s now the guy to beat in NBA playoffs, with an incredible average of 10 points per game, not to mention a collective average of 17 in rebounds and assists. That said, it’s pretty clear why his career playing for the Cleveland Cavaliers is enviable, if not outright wonderful.
Head-To-Head
LeBron’s long career and overall great performance seem pretty set to take on Michael Jordan’s greatness. In fact, as at now, LeBron James has outdone Michael in stats and playoff totals. He has managed to get into play 45 more times than Michael. That’s impressive.
The Gap
However, LeBron is yet to fully claim the “all-time greatest” title as Michael still dominates the championships.
While Jordan bagged 6 championships while playing for the Chicago Bulls back in the 90s, LeBron has scored 3 this decade. Does LeBron James have what it takes to match Michael Jordan in that category too? Only time will tell.
