The age-old barbershop debate of who’s the best, LeBron James or Michael Jordan, has a clear winner, well, at least according to Draymond Green.

Draymond Green, easily one of the most vocal stars in the NBA, feels there is nothing to debate about when comparing the careers of the GOAT Michael Jordan and LeBron James. LBJ is simply a better player than MJ.

The Golden State Warriors’ hooper made the bold claim while discussing his top five on a recent episode of his show Throwing Bones on the Uninterrupted platform, ironically owned by LeBron James.

According to Green, James’ skillset, the duration of James’ Eastern Conference dominance, and facing better competition separates the Los Angeles Lakers superstar from the Charlotte Hornets owner.

“MJ didn’t beat the greatest team ever assembled,” Green said, referring to his 73-win Golden State Warriors. “Nor did he run up against the greatest team ever assembled every year.”

Green added, “There’s nobody that has ever played the game of basketball that can do what LeBron James does on a basketball court. Nobody.”Green referring to his Warriors as the most incredible team ever could also be the subject of debate because the team they eclipsed, the 72-10 Chicago Bulls, didn’t flop in the NBA finals as the Warriors did.

Draymond Green Is Ready For The Flack Coming From The Old Heads About His Opinion

Anyway, Green continued his rant by acknowledging he knows he will catch flack from older NBA players for his opinion.”I’m sure one of the old f***s is going to say, ‘You’re out of your mind,’ and this, that, and the other,” Green said. “The talent is way better [during LeBron’s era], just like the talent at Apple is way better than the talent that was working at Apple in 1991.”

Interesting.
