Michael vs LeBron
Why is that even a discussion?
Why everything gotta be a competition, a comparison or even a debate?
Michael Jordan was the “GOAT” of his time and generation. LeBron is the “GOAT” of this time and generation. But so is Steph Curry, Kevin Durant, Chris Paul, James Harden, Kyrie Irving, Luka Doncic, Ja Morant, Nikola, Shai, Victor, Giannis… and so was Larry Bird, Dr. J, Magic, Kobe, Wilt, Kareem, Shaq, Dirk…
To be a GOAT in this comparison, it consisted of the help of other teammates as well. No one EVER played a game and scored ALL the points and assisted themselves.
It took a Team effort to help set up those shots made by Michael and LeBron. And that consisted of assisting, rebounding, guarding, defending and also observation and awareness of where that player was positioned on the court when passing him the ball.
And besides, who says they can only have ONE GOAT?Also, why do they have to have a limit? Well guess what? They don’t. There is no limit on how many can be a GOAT.
Have you ever been to a farm and they only had One GOAT on the farm? And by the way, who gets to decide who is a GOAT and who is not? And what makes their decision the final decision?
Do not allow anyone to label you, define your character, or even try to dim your light. And of course, GOATS are not just limited to basketball. Anyone can be a GOAT. Just be the Greatest you that you can be and by doing so, you are indeed your own version of a “GOAT!”
Me, I’m a Capricorn, so I’m born a GOAT, straight out the womb, and that right there ain’t even up for discussion. But then again, LeBron also is a Capricorn… say less.
Anyway, as far as Michael, LeBron and others, everyone has had their moments in time to shine on the courts. So when it comes to who is the GOAT and who ain’t, all I gotta say is Get over all this (G.O.A.T). Yes, “get over all this,” this discussion, because truth be told, there is and was a farm of GOATS on the courts.
