?So Glad Kareem Was There?: Despite Ditching LeBron James for Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant, 59YO Women Basketball Legend Celebrates King?s Legacy

LeBron James continues to rewrite NBA history with every passing season as he enters his 20th year in the league. Now the oldest player in the division the G.O.A.T has cemented himself in the NBA record books and far surpassed the threshold set for him during his rookie year. Having become the record point scorer in NBA history last season King James continues to defy expectations and looks to become the greatest in basketball history as he chases his 5th ring this season.

While LeBron’s legacy is undoubtedly etched in stone there are those who continue to write him off in the G.O.A.T debate. Although Bron has not won as many titles as MJ or Kobe the King has surpassed all their scoring records but often finds himself below them in the pecking order. One 59-year-old Women’s basketball legend recently did the same as she ditched LeBron for Jordan and Bean but not before celebrating his legacy.

A women’s basketball legend celebrates King James’ legacy

During a recent episode of ‘Knuckleheads Podcast’ women’s basketball legend Cheryl Miller celebrated King James’ legacy as she dived deep into his record-breaking career. A legend of basketball in general, Miller was one of the first women to play against men professionally as she competed in the US Basketball League in the late 1980’s.

Enshrined to the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall-of Fame in 1995 the legend continues to help develop the women’s game today even serving as a GM for WNBA side the Phoenix Mercury between 1997-2000.

Repping a shirt with the message ‘#Equality in Womens Sports’ the 2x NCAA champion made an appearance on the show as she looked to send the same message as many women athletes in the WNBA.

While she discussed the matter in length with the hosts, the 3x Naismith Player of the Year also spoke on LeBron breaking Kareem’s all-time scoring record explaining she was “so glad that kareem was there.”

Continuing to show her support for James the legend also expressed how she was surprised by the “flack” that LeBron got stating, “I get that somebody is going to say something but to the point where how could he break that record? well what would he wait around for somebody else?”

The 59-year-old legend still rates MJ and Kobe over the King

While Cheryl Miller was thankful to have witnessed LeBron James break Kareem’s all-time scoring record the 59-year-old snubbed the King while picking her Men’s basketball G.O.A.T. When asked about who she thought was the greatest men’s player of all-time by host Darius Miles the former NCAA champion replied, “Michael Jordan” before adding, “Kobe was the closest.”

With many continuing to choose MJ and Kobe over LeBron what more does the King have to achieve to make it to the top of the list? While Michael Jordan himself has rated Kobe and James before do you think Cheryl’s analogy of Bron is correct or is it simply a case of era biasness? Let us know in the comments below.
