The greatest of all-time debate has always been between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, and after this talk, there really isn’t any debate.

LeBron James started his NBA career straight out of high school, and many designated him as the NBA’s next top prodigy. He took that title and did more than anyone could have imagined, and now it is time to truly give him the credit that he deserves.

Now that LeBron James has been utterly dominate for about a decade, the greatest of all-time or GOAT debate has become more prominent than ever before. With Jordan and older NBA fans chatting about his six rings and the newer generation determined to fight for their King, each side can make a reasonable argument that the other can hardly rebuttal.

It wasn’t until I heard this segment on Colin Cowherd’s the Herd  that I really thought about LeBron’s incredible, retained dominance.

I’m not really how you can still be on the Jordan bandwagon after hearing what Nick says. He makes a sound and reasonable point using just about every stat to back it up. In the end, if you are a diehard Jordan fan, “six rings” will always be your go-to line.

Come on now though. Open your eyes to the dominance that is before us because it won’t last much longer. At 32, LeBron is playing out of his mind, but his dominance has to end sometime.

The real question is if another LeBron-like superstar can arise as he descends. That is another topic for a different day though because who truly knows how the future will play out with so many quality stars in the modern-day NBA.
