Lakers fans celebrate championship on the streets of Los Angeles (Twitter)

Discussions about LeBron James' place in the league's history books are ongoing, and the one who has now joined them is His Majesty, one named Michael Jordan.

"It all depends on who is watching," Jordan said in an interview with a cigar magazine in the United States a few days ago.

"If you ask in 20 years, I'm pretty sure people will say LeBron overtook me, depending on the seasons. That's how it is. I myself can not answer that. I did not play against Wilt Chamberlain or Jerry West, it is not fair to say who was good "More. You can only compare players from that period. I won 6 championships, but Bill Russell won 11. Does that make one of us better than the other? No, we played at different times. This debate is never fair."

"One of the reasons I don't do a lot of interviews is that I'm jealous of my time," MJ added.

"My time in the spotlight is over, someone else needs to get in there. I want to control what I do and what I don't do. I don't need any more admiration. It was great. I will continue to be part of the community."

Jordan was also asked about the reality of the stars today, in the age of social media, citing Tiger Woods as an example: "He was at his peak towards the end of my career, but what has changed is social media, Twitter and all that, and it invades the personal space of athletes. For someone "Like me, I do not know if I could survive in the age of Twitter, when you have no privacy."

Hakim Oljuan: "Michael Jordan was a much bigger player than LeBron James"

To the full article

LeBron's good friend Devin Wade has a slightly different approach to looking at things: "We will not see another player like LeBron. More great players will join the league, but no one will be like him. Karim Abdul Jabbar, and no one will win 11 championships like Bill Russell. You can stop with this argument. I said to LeBron - this is the first time I watched you as a true fan. Because when I watched him as an opponent, I always tried to think how to be better than him, and when we cooperated "I was trying to figure out how we could be better. I sent him a message - bro, you're fucking good. You're big. He's an animal, he's one of the best basketball players in history because of the way he plays the game. It's special to watch him."

On the possibility of LeBron collaborating in the future in the NBA with his son, Bruni, Wade said: "When you are in the James family you are the chosen one. Bruni copes great with the spotlight and his basketball skills speak for themselves. He is a very good player, he will become a professional and I hope "Let LeBron be there, we all want to see this moment. I wish it would happen."

* After a not bad regular season and a wonderful playoff, Miami's appetite has opened and it is already ready for the 2020/21 season.

"My thinking has not changed - if something floats and can take us to the next level, I'm open," said the club's senior decision-maker, Pat Riley, known for his daring moves.

Riley has yet to fully overcome the loss to the Lakers in the final, especially not due to the injuries the Heat have had to deal with.

"The Lakers were the better teams, but there will always be a star there. If we had 100 percent Bam Adbaio and Goran Dragic, our top scorer in the playoffs, the series could have reached seven games."

A few hours later, Riley made it clear that he did not intend to underestimate the Lakers title: "The star is next to ours, not their name. Their title is legitimate, they were the preferred team - period."

* The Lakers are also already waiting for the start of next season.

"Without a doubt, we can win next season as well," Danny Green said.

"It's going to be tough because we have a lot of free agents, but when you have a base of LeBron James and Anthony Davis, that's pretty much all it takes. You don't need much beyond that."

* According to Chinese media, Golden State is expressing great interest in Jeremy Lin, who is also loved by the team's stars and Stephen Kerry.

Brooklyn was also mentioned in the context of the coordinator, in part due to the ownership of Taiwanese businessman Joseph Tsai and his good relationship with the 32-year-old coordinator, who recorded three games in Toronto in the 2018/2019 season.
