Stephon Marbury, the former NBA star known for his candidness, recently reacted to a tweet that used content from Fadeaway World to highlight Michael Jordan’s 10 scoring titles. The tweet aimed to emphasize Jordan’s dominance, claiming that “LeBron wishes he could do this, he can never be better than Michael Jordan.” Marbury, never one to shy away from sharing his opinions, responded with a blunt comment:
“Shouldn’t even be mentioned in the same breath as MJ.”

Marbury’s remark was likely fueled by a recent encounter, or rather a lack thereof, with LeBron James during the 2024 Paris Olympics Finals against France. As the story goes, LeBron was greeting Carmelo Anthony, who was seated next to Marbury.
When Marbury tried to get LeBron’s attention by tapping his chest, LeBron seemingly ignored him, walking past without acknowledgment. Marbury later commented on the incident on Twitter, sarcastically stating that LeBron didn’t see him.

When journalist Scoop Robinson suggested that LeBron did see him, Marbury humorously replied:
“I turned invisible.”

Marbury didn’t stop there. He took another shot at LeBron by tweeting:
“He’s not strong enough to say something. So funny, his friend Draymond gave me dap by accident. It was classic. When he realized, he was like, ‘Damn, I messed up the code.'”

This comment hints at an underlying tension, possibly suggesting that LeBron purposely avoided interacting with Marbury, and that Draymond Green, a known friend of LeBron’s, inadvertently acknowledged Marbury, only to regret it later.
The tension between Marbury and LeBron appears to go beyond just this Olympic encounter. When a fan defended LeBron by highlighting his unprecedented achievement of being the only player in NBA history with 40,000 points, 10,000 rebounds, and 10,000 assists, Marbury simply responded with “6-0,” a reference to Michael Jordan’s perfect record in the NBA Finals, a statistic often used to bolster Jordan’s case as the greatest of all time.
6-0

Marbury’s response underscores his firm belief that Jordan’s legacy is unmatched, particularly when compared to LeBron’s. Despite LeBron’s numerous accomplishments, including his all-time scoring record and his sustained excellence over two decades, Marbury remains steadfast in his view that Jordan’s impact on the game is unparalleled.
The interaction highlights the enduring debate in the basketball community over who deserves the title of the greatest of all time. While LeBron’s fans point to his longevity, versatility, and statistical achievements, Jordan’s supporters, like Marbury, often cite his perfect Finals record, scoring titles, and his cultural impact as reasons why he stands alone at the top.
Stephon Marbury’s reaction to Fadeaway World content, coupled with his pointed comments toward LeBron, further fuels the ongoing discourse about the NBA’s GOAT, a conversation that shows no signs of ending anytime soon.
