"You ain't the youngin no more." LeBron James made sure to remind Dame of his age during 2023 #NBAAllStar Weekend 😂 The 2024 #NBAAllStar Game tips at 8pm/et on TNT!
Former Houston Rockets small forward Shane Battier has revealed reasons behind rating Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James more than legendary Michael Jordan.
There has always been a discussion about who is the greatest player in the history of the NBA and few names always come up. That list includes the likes of James and Jordan where many favour the latter compared to the former.
Battier was recently quoted in a report where he picked James over Jordan because of winning two NBA championships because he won while playing with him as a forward.
“As good as you think he was, he was that much better," Battier said. "I am biased; I know this. People were saying LeBron or MJ. I said, 'You know what, LeBron did something twice that I don't think Michael Jordan could ever do once.
“He won two NBA titles with Shane Battier as a starting forward, alright?“ I love Mike, you know, one of the greatest of all time, but LeBron did it twice with me as his bum-a** power forward and dragged me across the finish line.
“That speaks to how great LeBron is. The force, the intelligence. He didn't have a weakness when he was in his prime. He is still playing amazing now. But, I mean, there was no answer for him, and he was like a queen on the chess board and do everything.”
