Michael Jordan’s revelation on LeBron James’ ability to play in any era has fans losing their minds: “Will MJ fans argue MJ now?

Michael Jordan and LeBron James

LeBron James is a name that sports fans usually find at the top of any news channel. But off late, the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has been trending after him and Stephen A. Smith exchanged shots while on different platforms.

One of the points the 40-year-old has always tried to make is that veteran media personnel are extremely critical towards current generation players. He believes they use the logic that players of the past were better than those playing now, just to keep past greats at the top of any argument.

The Lakers superstar ruffled some feathers when he made an outlandish claim. He claimed that Giannis Antetokounmpo would score 250 points in the 70s. The player in question himself has tried to downplay that, but members of the media were not so forgiving.

Since then, they have been on a tear, calling out James for insulting past greats. They also gave instances suggesting current gen players would have struggled against the physicality. But basketball great Michael Jordan thinks at least LeBron James will not.

Different eras. I asked Michael this when we played golf about five months ago, and he said, ‘LeBron James could play in ANY era.

Jayson Williams said

This was former All-Star Jayson Williams, who revealed to Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson about his interaction with Jordan. His Airness believes the Los Angeles Lakers superstar has the physical attributes and skills to be dominant in any past era.

Fans lose their minds reading what Michael Jordan feels about LeBron James

Fans reading this article were shell shocked. On one hand, they know this revelation will seemingly end all the narratives media members have been generating. This effectively ends all discussions since most of the veteran media members have Michael Jordan as their GOAT, and believe his word is the end of all discussions.

If this is his opinion, then it effectively silences their attempts to discredit the current generation. Since LeBron James is the face of the league for more than two decades, such a conversation will only draw negativity. Check out examples of those comments below.

Fans believe now that the six-time NBA champion has spoken, it seemingly indicates that LeBron James is on his level too. That is because all those media veterans argue that Jordan could dominate in any era, regardless of his opponents.

Michael Jordan vs LeBron James 1v1

Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson also asked Jayson Williams who he would take in a 1v1 matchup. Williams played ten seasons in the NBA, and in that time, he saw Michael Jordan dominate. That is why, his answer was not surprising.

I’m taking the killer! I’m taking MJ. Yeah, it’s going to be a close score. They’re two of the best that ever did it. But that boy is strong, you know? LeBron is STRONG. But if I say MJ, LeBron might get mad, and if I say LeBron, Michael and Charles Oakley are going to get mad. I can’t win this one!

Jayson Williams said

The 57-year-old tilted towards the Chicago Bulls legend. But at the same time, he did not discredit the Los Angeles Lakers superstar like some others do. Instead, he believes it would be a close battle. James’ strength is vital in this 1v1 matchup but believes Jordan can hold his own.
