A five time Olympic champion, also a prominent figure in the WNBA, has achieved numerous accolades throughout her career, including winning the WNBA title. In a recent discussion, she drew parallels between the legendary rivalries of LeBron James and Michael Jordan and the rivalries among coaches in college basketball.

The ongoing debate about the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) between LeBron James and Michael Jordan continues to divide opinions. While many consider Jordan as the clear favorite, others argue that LeBron James has achieved enough to be regarded as the greatest player of all time. In a noteworthy comparison, a respected WNBA legend drew parallels between the two basketball icons and another set of alleged rivals.

WNBA Legend brings up Michael Jordan and LeBron James comparisons

Sue Bird’s name is inseparable from the Seattle Storm, as she has brought immense prestige to the team. She has played a crucial role in leading the Seattle Storm to four WNBA titles, establishing her as a key figure for the franchise. Additionally, she has achieved success in the Euro League, securing multiple titles. With remarkable career records in assists and games played, Bird has established herself as a leader in these categories, further solidifying her legacy. Recently, she drew comparisons between the ongoing LeBron James-Michael Jordan debate and the rivalry between two former coaches in women’s college basketball.

During a conversation with Andre Iguodala, Sue Bird stated, “It’s kind of like the LeBron-Jordan argument, like at some point everyone is just easier to be like Jordan won six times so it’s Jordan.” One of the coaches was Geno Auriemma, who is the coach of UConn.

In response, Andre Iguodala promptly highlighted that comparing a set of basketball legends to a set of coaches is not a fair comparison, emphasizing the distinct nature of the two scenarios.
