The best basketball player in the world is sick of being compared to the top basketball players of previous eras.
In the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic on Monday night, LeBron James joined Hall of Famer Oscar Robertson as the only players in NBA history to rank in the top-25 for both points and assists. And after the game, James voiced his frustration in regards to the constant comparisons to Robertson and other NBA elites, as written by ESPN’s Dave McMenamin.
“I think what we get caught up in, in our league too much, is trying to compare greats to greats, instead of just accepting and acknowledging and saying, ‘Wow, these are just great players,'” James said after the Cleveland Cavaliers’ 117-103 win over the Orlando Magic.
