By T. Fakhoury

Its 1984, and The NBA Season Began, all New Draft all new players, But what the people were most exited, is to see Michael Jordan play, yet still a rookie, but as the Larry Bird and Magic Jonhson era ended, new players where the future of the NBA, Michael Jordan Won the State Championship with North Carolina and had just finish closing a deal with Nike, which made a shoe that would break the NBA color rules. And so went Michael Jordan, as he began to set new league records, win rookie of the year, become an all-star and much more. And now looking back,he did become the Most Successful Basketball Player ever, Michael Jordan Became the figure of Basketball, everybody would talk about Michael this Michael that… All his amazing stats and his ability to jump over 114 cm and his impressive Championship 3 Peat, even winning a Championship after retiring and coming back, but sooner or later he became old. Michael Jordan Became the name of the highest sneaker selling Brand the Jordans, everybody wanted Jordans, everybody wanted something that Jordan used, and so Jordan solidified his status as The Best Basketball Player ever.
 
Years Later, and a very Promising high school player appeared on the Radar, his name? Lebron James, and he ended up being the 1st pick in the 2003 NBA Draft, and Just as Michael Jordan, so did Lebron Start of very promising, having over 20 ppg and winning the Rookie of the Year. Lebron also went on to Dominate the NBA, Win 4 NBA Championships, have the most total point in NBA History and Become the Only NBA Player to keep playing for over 21 years in the league.
 
Now By just looking at this, you may say that of course Lebron is better, looking as his history, but Michael Jordan is known for his impact, he changed the way that basketball was played, he completely dominated any team that stood upfront of Him, he also played a Conference Finals Game 7, with a flu, and scored over 36 point to win the game, out of the 6 times that Jordan went to the NBA Finals, he won 6/6, he never lost an NBA Championship, Jordan also has a more impactful space out of the court, and at his time the player were much more aggressive and fouls where super common, and referees weren’t as tightly as they are now adays. But where the difference is spot able is the amount of time. Yes of course, Lebron Played for more time than Jordan did, but Lebron for the past 20 Years has been the League’s most dominant player, he dominated every single year, Lebron is still dominating to this day, and managed to play with his own son. Michael Jordan did retire but come back to play later, in the Washington Wizards, and he averaged over 16 ppg, whilst Lebron has a 20 Year streak of 20+ppg every game.
 
Both are amazing Players, but the decision of who is better comes down to you, who do you believed has the merits of the Best NBA Player ever Title, as there is no clear winner, it’s up to you shall decide, who is the GOAT of Basketball?
