Michael Jordan – coproprietaire des Charlotte Hornets BASKETBALL : Hornets vs Bucks – NBA, Basketball Herren, USA Paris Game 2020 – 24/01/2020 JBAutissier/Panoramic PUBLICATIONxNOTxINxFRAxITAxBEL
NBA fans from the 80s and 90s don’t seem to have any doubts about Michael Jordan being the greatest player of all time. Jordan dominated the NBA throughout his career but his status as the GOAT has come under threat in the past few years due to LeBron James. Most of the people belonging to this millennium have not seen His Airness play but have witnessed LeBron James rise to the top. An NFL insider, who has watched both the greats, recently had a stern take on MJ’s greatness.
The age-old debate about who the GOAT of the NBA is doesn’t seem to be ending anytime soon. Be it LeBron, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Kobe Bryant, or anyone else, Michael Jordan is usually the one everyone is compared to. The NFL Insider gave light to that fact with his tweet.

“If you want all of the above in a single player, look for MJ”
NFL Insider, Lake Lewis Jr. went to his Twitter account to announce a bold take on Chicago Bulls legend, Michael Jordan. In that tweet, he mentioned NBA greats and current players who have dominated the league and have set records in different categories of the game. Lake wrote, “I just saw this on FB and I believe it’s true”.
I just saw this on FB and I believe it’s true.
If you want stats, look for LeBron.
If you want rings, look for Russell.
If you want MVPs, look for Kareem.
If you want records, look for Wilt.
If you want impact, look for Steph.
If you want dominance in a position, look for Shaq.… pic.twitter.com/6RDSRpMaDi— Lake Lewis Jr (@LakeLewis) May 10, 2023
Lake mentioned all the NBA greats in their respective category in which they excelled. However, at the end of mentioning all these great players, he wrote, ” Now, if you want all of the above in a single player, then look for Michael Jordan.” Michael has almost dominated all these categories in his NBA career, that’s what the post intended to signify.
While it is a personal opinion, MJ’s list of accomplishments put things into perspective. The Black Jesus is a 5-time league MVP, 6-time NBA champion, 2-time DPOY, 10-time scoring champion, 2-time Slam Dunk champion, and top 5 in the all-time scoring record, among many more feats. Jordan not only dominated the game but he was a primary reason behind the sport’s booming popularity in the 90s. As soon as Lake sent out the tweet, it gave rise to a Twitter war.

Strait facts as usual lake. If these kids today saw Jordan in his prime man they just don’t know.

If Mike didn't step away to play baseball this 2 years, he would've had 2 more rings. I at least believe that.

MJ will always be the GOAT

Nevertheless, there were certain fans who believed otherwise.
I disagree with this take only because of the last Jordan comment since it's clearly strongly biased.
That said, I believe Jordan and Lebron are debatable as the GOATS in the game to this day.
The only problem is Jordan was never compared against anyone. Lebron has always…
