Terrence Ross: "I don't understand how one can put Michael Jordan ahead of LeBron James"

The dialectical battle for the GOAT of the NBA continues almost always with LeBron James and Michael Jordan as protagonists. It's rare to see current players speaking against the player from the Los Angeles Lakers, but that's the case with Terrence Ross, who doesn't understand how MJ could be placed ahead of LeBron in history despite his 6 rings in 6 Finals and 6 MVPs.

"LeBron is literally, for me now, the GOAT," Ross said. "I don't know how you can put Jordan ahead of him. If Jordan had been doing what he was doing for 20 years, I'm like, 'yeah'. LeBron has a long way to go." The truth is he played basketball twice, came back twice. He got a three-peat on his first return, and the second time he came back he wasn't the same player. LeBron has literally been at a peak throughout his career," Ross continued. "He's getting older, but he's still as effective as ever."

Ross's Key Points

Ross's argument for considering LeBron as the best is based on the idea that Michael Jordan wasn't at the same level in his second comeback as he was when he started. For Ross, the two years with the Wizards for MJ are crucial to consider James the greatest of all time. Everyone is free to have their own opinion, but it seems like a weak argument for something so significant.
