CouRage thinks LeBron James is a better player than Michael Jordan
In one small tweet of over 150 characters Jack ‘CouRage’ Dunlop has reignited the same debate. The 27-year-old streamer sided with the modern-day legend, LeBron James and suggested he is peerless.
The streamer also stated that legendary Michael Jordan did not face the same competition that the sport has to offer in the current era. Hence it puts LeBron James in a better position, as the player is still in his prime and has 4-5 years left in his career.
Michael Jordan played against plumbers and part-time players.
LeBron James plays against Olympic athletes and global superstars.

More fans came to the thread to defend Jordan, who has faced whose’ who of his time and managed to pick up more championships than LeBron James. He has faced all-time greats in Dennis Rodman, Charles Barkley, Magic Johnson, and still came out on top.
Imagine being 23 years old and facing tim duncan, tony parker, manu ginobli, bruce bowen right after beating Chauncey billups, rasheed wallace, rip hamilaton, tayshaun prince, and c webb….. and thinking he’s not the GOAT??????????
