The debate between Jordan and LeBron has been a hot topic for years, with supporters of both players making compelling arguments for their respective favorites. Jordan, known for his six NBA championships, five MVP awards, and numerous scoring titles, has long been considered one of the greatest, if not the greatest, to ever play the game. LeBron, on the other hand, has his own impressive resume, with four NBA championships, four MVP awards, and a record as the all-time leading scorer.
Silver’s comment has added fuel to the fire, with many fans weighing in on social media. Some have praised Silver for his choice, while others have criticized him for snubbing LeBron, who continues to add to his legacy with his remarkable longevity and versatility.
Despite the controversy, Silver’s admiration for Jordan is clear. The NBA commissioner has always held Jordan in high regard, and his recent statement is a testament to the lasting impact Jordan has had on the game.
