The debate on who is the greatest of all time in the NBA between the 90’s Chicago Bulls’ legend Michael Jordan and the Los Angeles Lakers’ LeBron James has always been one of the most controversial topics for fans and critics to debate. One such instance occurred recently when Jordan’s rival Bill Laimbeer, took part in it and made a surprising choice by choosing James as the better player.

Bill Laimbeer played for the Detroit Pistons and spent 14 seasons with the franchise. Laimbeer, in his take on the controversial debate, made a surprising choice by admitting that LeBron James is a better player than Michael Jordan. He explained that James has an instinct to make opportunities for all the members of the team to contribute to the game and it has been there since the beginning of his NBA career.

Bill Laimbeer, to back his choice, explained that while James has been a team player ever since his arrival in the league, Jordan wasn’t exactly a team player. He learned after years of coming close.

The Detroit Pistons, in the ’90s, were led by Laimbeer. The team was one of the tough contenders to the Bulls early on in Michael Jordan’s career. The Chicago Bulls beat the Pistons in the year 1991 in the playoffs series. It led to the Bulls and Michael Jordan winning their first NBA championship.

The clear choice of LeBron James being the GOAT is something that stunned fans and critics. It adds an interesting layer to this choice because Bill Laimbeer is Jordan’s rival. His choice in the debate may be solely based on his past rivalry with Jordan and the Bulls. His choice is based on his personal experience. There hasn’t been any conclusive or definitive moment that can prove who is the GOAT yet.

When will LeBron James’s son Bronny James make his college debut?

However, there isn’t anything official on Bronny’s return although he has been part of a pre-game practice session. According to USC coach Andy Enfield, Bronny James has been cleared for non-contact practice sessions but it has been advised for him to not go all in for full-length tournaments.

He said, 

Bronny has not been cleared fully yet from USC. He can participate without contact. He's done a good job of getting his conditioning and his strength back and I think he's on the path to being ready to play very quickly.

However, it’s been assured that he will be joining the roster soon for his college debut with the Trojans. As mentioned though, nothing has been official. Basketball fans will be looking forward to seeing Bronny back on the court in action.
