Draymond Green’s admiration for LeBron James is well known, and the Warriors star has often gone on record to back his claim that James is the GOAT. But when the inevitable comparison to Michael Jordan comes up, even Green has to step up his game, which he did during a stream with Kai Cenat.
From a neutral point of view, comparing Jordan and James seems both extremely difficult and arguably unnecessary. Green, however, had his reasons ready to settle the debate as he saw it.
The main argument the 35-year-old future Hall of Famer put forward was not about LeBron or Jordan themselves, but about the players they shared the court with. In making his case, James’ former teammates ended up taking the hit on a stream watched by millions around the world.
The four-time NBA champion first pointed to J.R. Smith as an example, stating that while the league gave up on the former Sixth Man of the Year winner, LeBron did not.
“People threw the towel in on JR Smith. As talented as JR was, people threw the towel in on him and was like, ‘Yo, he can’t play winning basketball. You can’t do this, you can’t do that.’ JR had talent, no question, but when people throw the towel in on you in this league, it’s over.”
James stood by J.R. Smith during their stint together at the Cleveland Cavaliers, and he was instrumental in the team making four straight Finals appearances, even winning in 2016. Other than the Game 1 clock blunder, which infuriated James, there doesn’t seem to be any stain in his legacy. That’s what James did to a player who was generally considered not good enough for the NBA.
Someone on the stream then mentioned Australian guard Matthew Dellavedova, a member of the 2016 Cavaliers. The comment nearly broke Green’s brain.
“That guy stinks. I got a lot of respect for Delly. Stinks. I respect his game. Completely stinks. MJ wasn’t winning with Matthew Delladova. I mean, unless they thought that of Steve Kerr,” stated Dray, who mentioned how Kerr had to find his own footing in the league while James manages to pick his own teammates up.
