MJ and Lebron have plenty of respect for each other, it’s just the sports media that argues who’s better every single day, and therefore provides tons of rage bait, no one should actually be surprised that MJ is saying this.
Any star from any era can play in every era. Except ben simmons
Super athletic/durable 6’9″ guy who is built like a tank and has high basketball IQ. Yeah of course he’d be able to play in any era.
Scoop B interviews in 2025 is crazy
Duh
Somewhere Stephen A Smith just dropped to his knees clutching his chest
Should be obvious to anyone who has eyes and a functioning brain
Yeah obviously.
He’s built like a freight train that is decent to elite at every important aspect of the game.
I feel like this gets filed under the “no shit” category.
Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot
Anyone who looks at LeBron at 6’8 250lbs having played 22 seasons as the most durable superstar ever and tries to say he couldn’t play in a different era is an insane hater.
Duh!
The greatest players across every era would be great in any era. That’s always been my stance.
The fact that it’s even entertained that someone like LeBron couldn’t play in any era is ridiculous.
He is 6’8″. A damn tank. Insane BBIQ. And very athletic for his size. Of course he could.
Ffs he already played in 3 different eras…
Why is the NBA the only league where this is even an argument? You never hear about people saying Mahomes wouldn’t have been good in the 90s. Such a tired ass argument.
Lebron has played in 2-3 “eras” already. Him Kareem are the only guys to dominate in 2 or more different ‘eras’
That’s like saying Usain Bolt could probably hang with 100m dashers in the 70s
Like ya, no shit lol
LeBron is one of the greatest athletes of all time, in any sport. In the NBA, is/was there anyone better?
I’m including longevity, of course.
Showa, Heisei, Millennium, or Reiwa, he ready for them all.
why is this even something thats being argued
“Scoop B” is a huge clown
No one should have needed jordan to say this
But it’s ppl out there that really needed to hear him say it
NBA media in all respects is absolutely terrible, likely the worst of all major sport. How does this need to be said or talked about so much? Without even mentioning why bother? Like how could someone think fucking LeBron James wouldn’t succeed in any era of basketball, he’s built perfectly physically and has the skill set it’s not even close to being debatable
Lebron could be the best basketball player alive in year 3000 let’s be fr
Why tf you need jordan to tell yall this, damn fools 😭
This won’t make any difference to bitter middle-aged Lebron haters lmao. Kobe Bryant literally accepted Lebron with open arms as a Laker, he even straight up told the haters that they aren’t real Laker fans and to go kick rocks. Yet there is still a contingent of “Laker fans” (Kobe stans) who hate Lebron on the Lakers.
Middle aged Jordan stans will do the same and just straight up ignore this and claim that Lebron couldn’t make it in the 90s. They are like political extremists in the form of NBA fans. It doesn’t matter how much evidence they are presented with
It’s so dumb. Any of the GOATS can play in any era. It’s all the other players that could be drastically better or unplayable in different eras.
Youre either dumb or a troll if you don’t think LeBron could play in any era.
