John Starks has weighed in on the never-ending “LeBron vs. MJ” debate and taken the side of Michael Jordan.
Starks recently said that LeBron has damaged his legacy by “switching NBA teams so much,” pointing out that Jordan didn’t move around during his career. He believes that ultimately the difference between the two will be that Jordan didn’t need to chase players to join him.
“LeBron is hurting his legacy by switching NBA teams so much that it will affect his standing when it comes to LeBron vs. Jordan debates. Mike didn’t move around. He wanted to play against the best. He felt like he didn’t need to go chase players to join his team to beat the best because he felt like he was the best, and I think that’s the difference.”
As you might expect, the responses to Starks’ comments were about as divisive as the debate on Lebron vs. MJ itself:
The LeBron vs. MJ debate will continue until LeBron wraps up his NBA career and probably for many years after.
