They are the two most iconic basketball superstars ever to walk on a court but when it comes to who is the greatest, its always up for debate. LeBron James or Michael Jordan. A lot of the older sports fans who saw Jordan actually play will name him as the greatest of all time. I thought this way as well but after watching an interview of Scottie Pippin on ESPN Radio’s Mike and Mike Show in May of 2011, I re-assessed my thoughts. I am paraphrasing Pippen but he spoke that Jordan may be the greatest scorer of all time, however, LeBron might be the best all around player. I was surprised, but after LeBron won his first title, I started to see the LeBron side of the argument.
Like most American sports fans I was privileged to watch game 6 of the NBA finals this year and I was blown away by the performance of LeBron James. I have watched him before and he is indescribably good to start but at the same time I have never seen him just get the killer look in his eye and take over a game. It was absolutely amazing. The argument against LeBron was that he was not a clutch player and that he would rather just pass it. In game 6, I saw him hit a 3-pointer, then get the ball right back and knock another one down with under 30 seconds to go. As game 7 was winding down and San Antonio still in the game, the Heat needed a bucket to close the deal. What happens next blew me away as LeBron gets the ball, steps up and drains a 19 or 20 footer in a defenders face to seal it. If that’s not clutch I don’t know what is!
