As a four-time NBA champion and four-time Finals MVP, LeBron James has entered a rare echelon in modern basketball, one dominated by the legendary Michael Jordan. Yet even with all of James’s brilliance, Stephen A. Smith is among those who believes that Jordan still operates on a different landscape.
“LeBron James is not better than Michael Jordan,” Smith says. “I don’t care what the numbers say. Jordan is the greatest player in the history of basketball.”
Smith’s predilection and gift for debate are well known. Bold, authoritative insight has made him an indispensable piece of the basketball community.
