After the Los Angeles Lakers were swept 4-0 by the Denver Nuggets, LeBron James said that he had things to to think about, making it clear that he could decide to retire.
Whenever that day comes, whether it’s this spring or next, as soon as he announces, people are going to begin assessing his place in the game and, inevitably, the comparisons to Michael Jordan will crank up.
It’s not a fair comparison. James is much bigger and stronger than Jordan ever was.
And he couldn’t touch Jordan for a very simple reason.
Jordan was insanely competitive.
