Metta World Peace had the privilege to play against Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and LeBron James during his career. The former small forward went against all these three legends, explaining the differences and similarities between all of them.
During a recent episode of Scoop B Radio Podcast, Metta spoke about the trio of legends while promoting his XvsX Sports basketball platform.
“I think Jordan is probably the most efficient. He has more tools than LeBron. LeBron is stronger than Jordan. Jordan is stronger than Kobe. Kobe has a little bit more Rucker Park than Mike…but with all of them you got to play hard because what you don’t want, is them getting 60. They might get 40, some days you keep them under 30. That’s a big thing, keeping them under 30. On some days you might keep them under 20. I had my fair share of when I did hold them under some points but, it was not easy man. These guys can play, and just like if you were guarding me – you have to work. In the NBA, players can just score.”
Although their styles of play are different, MJ, Kobe and Bron have left their mark on the game, being considered the best three players of all time by many NBA fans. They’ve don’t know anything but winning, pushing their rivals to the next level and carry their team to the promised land during their mighty careers.
They are different, as Metta said, but you gotta work to try to stop each of these guys. It’s not a coincidence they are the best of the best in league history.
