The GOAT debate is a never-ending one, with Michael Jordan and LeBron James being compared with each other. However, one big similarity between the two is their longevity and consistency. But the two never got the opportunity to play at the same time as Jordan retired in the same year, LeBron got drafted.

Jordan retired after winning six championships with the Bulls. Jordan’s third spell came with Wizards, the earlier two were with Bulls. However, it wasn’t a successful stint trophy-wise, but he had a strong impact despite his age. It’s incredible that despite being 40 years old, he managed eight 40-point games with the Wizards.

LeBron James is also 37 and still one of the best players in the league. James’ son is close to joining the league, and he has a dream of playing on the same court as his son. A former teammate of Jordan, Kwame Brown, has praised LeBron for wanting to play with his son.

Kwame Brown praises LeBron for his longevity, compares him with Michael Jordan

Former Wizards and Lakers star Kwame Brown recently appeared for an interview on ‘Forgotten KingzTv 2.0’. During the interview, Brown expressed his shock at LeBron wanting to play with his son.

“Man, I think that would be beautiful if LeBron can pull that off now,” Brown said.

“I mean, to be a dad, that’s good. That good at basketball and raise the boy up, that could make it to the NBA. And you could be out there on the court at the same time.” 

“LeBron, he got the confidence boy, So I said it the other day I said ‘man if he could shoot like that’. I was a part of the Washington Wizards. I think Michael scored 45 points on his 40th birthday… .. But yeah, that’s the only other person I’ve seen do something like that at that age.”

Jordan was a monster on the court. Kwame joined the Wizards the same summer when Jordan came back from his 2nd retirement. The two played two seasons together, but couldn’t help the Wizards in qualifying for the playoffs. But Jordan still managed to do incredible things at the age of 40.

James is now 37 and is carrying the Lakers almost single-handedly. As per reports, James’ son, Bronny, will be eligible for the NBA draft in 2024. However, James’ contract with the Lakers ends in 2023. But looking at his performances, he can still play till 2024 and who knows, maybe even play together.
