LeBron James has broken nearly every record to cement his place in the GOAT discussion. However, what truly sets him apart in the debate against Michael Jordan, the prospect of becoming the first active father-son duo in NBA history, following the drafting of his son, Bronny James.

LeBron recently expressed his excitement about the possibility of playing alongside Bronny on the HBO show “The Shop.” He shared his emotions about the upcoming season and the chance to step onto the court with his son.

“I’m so excited for training camp… I really cannot wait to hit the floor with [Bronny]. It’s going to be pretty surreal for me. That might be the first time I sit back like, ‘Oh, sh*t, this is really cool,’” LeBron said.

For LeBron, playing alongside Bronny has always been a cherished dream. However, that dream faced a serious setback when Bronny suffered a cardiac arrest during his college basketball career at USC. The incident cast doubts on whether they would ever share the court professionally.

Despite the scare, the Lakers made moves to support LeBron’s aspiration. After securing Dalton Knecht in the first round, the Lakers went on to fulfill LeBron’s dream by selecting Bronny with the No. 55 overall pick.

Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant have both left a lasting legacy on the basketball court, serving as ideal role models for aspiring young players. Their names frequently surface whenever the best player’s debate is discussed.

Recently, this discussion heated up again when former NBA star Dwight Howard made a bold claim about Bryant’s legacy over Jordan’s.

During his appearance on “Gil’s Arena Live” with Gilbert Arenas, the former NBA star expressed his belief that Kobe Bryant was a more skilled player than Michael Jordan.

“I think Kobe better than MJ skill-wise. He took everything Jordan did and multiplied it. He did it better. He had the fadeaway, the drive, the pump fake,” Howard said.

During these matchups, Bryant’s Los Angeles Lakers won five games, giving him a slight edge in their head-to-head meetings. However, Michael Jordan holds a more impressive record when it comes to championships and accolades.

Jordan has six NBA championships under his belt, compared to Bryant’s five. Jordan also has six Finals MVP awards and five regular-season MVP awards, while Bryant earned two Finals MVPs and one regular-season MVP.

The debate between fans of these two NBA legends is never-ending, with each side passionately defending their player’s legacy. Recently, former NBA star Dwight Howard’s bold statement favoring Kobe Bryant over Michael Jordan reignited this debate.

Jordan’s fans were quick to respond, criticizing Howard’s comments and claiming Jordan’s superior achievements. They argue that Jordan’s impressive record makes him the greatest player ever.

On the other hand, Bryant’s fans supported Howard’s assessment, praising his view as a fitting tribute to the late NBA star. They believe that Bryant’s skills and impact on the game were on par with, if not greater than Jordan’s.
