The GOAT debates have been reignited with a passion after LeBron James became the NBA’s all-time leading scorer on Tuesday. Fans and players alike heaped James with praise after this latest milestone, with many declaring him to be the greatest ever. But some believe his latest record still doesn’t make him the GOAT over Michael Jordan.
LeBron James still hasn’t won as many championships as Michael Jordan and he’s lost a lot more in the NBA Finals. Many arguments can be made to show that Michael Jordan is still very much the greatest of all time. But what others think will be spoken about endlessly, it’s interesting to wonder what the men themselves think.
Speaking after breaking his record, LeBron James has made it clear that he thinks he’s the greatest player to ever play the game. If any of his achievements are taken into account, no one can deny that he has a case. But Michael Jordan has widely been considered the GOAT for long enough that he likely won’t agree. Although, some people think he’s worried that he might lose his crown.
Colin Cowherd Suggested That Michael Jordan Is Concerned About LeBron James’ Growing Legacy
Colin Cowherd is a pretty outspoken individual when it comes to analysis. And his take on the entire situation at the moment is a wild one, to say the least. Michael Jordan day was celebrated recently on 2/3/2023, and Cowherd suggested that this event was a creation by Nike because of LeBron’s impending achievement.

“It was the same week as the 2016 Finals that Jordan agreed to do the Last Dance. The notoriously private MJ was suddenly terribly available to do a ten-part series the minute there was discussion of a new king… LeBron is in MJ’s head… Nike created MJ day last week to protect the brand.”
This is a tall claim, although he isn’t the first person to note that the timing of Michael Jordan greenlighting the Last Dance is a bit suspicious. Michael Jordan’s legacy is solid enough for him not to worry about things like this, though most people would still name him the GOAT even after LeBron’s achievement.
As far as MJ Day goes, 2/3/23 is pretty self-explanatory considering how iconic Jordan was as No. 23, and that it had something to do with James’ achievement is pushing it a bit. These conversations are likely to continue, but it’s unlikely that Jordan is devoting energy to try and maintain his status as the GOAT.
