LeBron James surpasses Michael Jordan/Kobe Bryant? NBA legend disappointed after son’s selection

The discussion about the best NBA players never ends. However, there are so many complexities in basketball that it’s hard to choose. But then again, some people are confident in their opinions. One of them is former NBA player Mark Jackson. Not only was he confident, he was confident in his answers. Recently, on his show, the former star was asked to name a list of players who could dunk in one shot.

Although confused at first, Jackson made his point clear once the question was clarified to him. In response to a question from his co-host and his son, he mentioned Michael Jordan or Kobe Bryant. However, according to his son Jackson Jr., there is another name missing.

He described how LeBron James should respond. In response, Jackson shared: “I love him, he’s in the GOAT discussion, he’s had an unbelievable career, he’s absolutely 100 percent great, I’ve seen it first hand, but if you asked me for a chance, I would take what I’d say of those people.”

When his son asked him if he at least considered James in the conversation, he said, “Yeah, no disrespect to him… I rattled off the names with my shooting talent.“Do you think King James deserves to be among the greats?

Michael Jordan’s shooting ability

Despite countless comparisons and debates, Jordan is undoubtedly one of the greatest NBA players, displaying exceptional dunking and scoring skills. His mentality and determination in critical moments are unparalleled. It’s not surprising to see the Chicago Bulls champions in the conversation. Some people even think that it is difficult to reach Jordan’s level no matter what.

However, the champion is often compared to the late Los Angeles Lakers legend Bryant. As mentioned, Kobe also has unparalleled shooting skills. Now, Jackson’s son has brought James into the conversation. King James has previously come under fire for his questionable shooting and been criticized for his below-average 3-point shooting and poor free throw shooting.

It’s worth noting that just recently, James achieved a major career milestone, becoming the first NBA player to score 40,000 career points. He set the record in early March against the Denver Nuggets. Does this convince you to reconsider your answer? Let us know in the comments section below.
