NBA Great Slam's criteria in the debate of LeBron James-Michael Jordan

The debate of Michael Jordan-Lebron James is perhaps the most discussed in NBA history.

James has the longevity while Jordan has the championships. A few years ago, Hall of Famer Julius Erving burdened the topic.

At that time he said it was unfair to assess the players based on championships because basketball is a team game.

“The game is a team sport,” said Erving when he spoke to Shannon Sharpe and Skip Bayless. “Individuals do not win championships. Teams win championships. You are only as good as the team can take you.”

It seems that he defended James against the defects in the final. The interview was conducted before James won his fourth championship with the Los Angeles Lakers in 2020. Jordan supporters always perform his 6-0 record in the final.

“3-5 means nothing to me,” said Erving. “I am more impressed by eight finals than with the record in the final.

The news was reported in detail on Wednesday after the allegations had appeared from an incident in 1987. Scott won three championships, with the Lakers playing alongside Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. He later trained the New Jersey Nets for the NBA final in the early 2000s.
