<p><em>“I am so deeply saddened at the news of Jerry’s passing. He was truly a friend and a mentor. Like an older brother to me. I valued his friendship and his knowledge. I always wished I could have played against him a as a competitor, but the more I came to know him, I wish I had been his teammate. I admired his basketball insights and he and I shared many similarities to how we approached the game. He will be forever missed! RIP, Logo.”</em></p>

<p><strong>Maxx Crosby</strong> has surprisingly <strong>thrown <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James</a>‘ entire career under the bus</strong>. The star pass rusher of the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/las-vegas-raiders" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Las Vegas Raiders</a></strong> has unexpectedly <strong>criticized</strong> the <strong>basketball</strong> legend and his path through the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a></strong>.</p>



<p>The Raiders have one of the <strong>best pass rushers</strong> in the <strong>entire <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NFL</a></strong> in Maxx Crosby. Several quarterbacks have <strong>highlightened his abilities</strong>, and he’s undoubtedly regarded as the main star in Las Vegas’ defense.</p>



<p>Even though Crosby has <strong>not found success</strong> with the Raiders, it seems the defensive end <strong>likes to be challenged</strong>. This is why he has <strong>thrown major shade at LeBron James</strong> and his NBA career.</p>



<h2>Maxx Crosby judges LeBron James while praising Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant</h2>



<p>The Las Vegas Raiders have struggled to be a competitive team in recent years. The AFC West club has <strong>undergone several changes</strong> lately, but now they have high hopes for what is on the horizon.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/dan-hurley-turns-down-the-lakers-the-remaining-candidates-to-coach-lebron-james" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20240610_BUS_131851_LeBron-James-23-of-the-Los-Angeles-Lakers-looks-on-against-the-Houston-Rockets-during-the-first-hal.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="With Dan Hurley opting to stay at UConn, the Los Angeles Lakers once again have to reduce their list of coaching candidates with LeBron James&apos; future still unclear.

<p>Last year, <strong>Antonio Pierce</strong> was named the <strong>interim head coach</strong> following the departure of <strong>Josh McDaniels</strong>. He had a decent season, which is why the Raiders decided to trust him and give him the job, and Crosby is thankful for it.</p>



<p>Despite the challenges the Raiders have faced, Maxx Crosby believes that adversity is better for the team. The <strong>pass rusher discussed his path through the NFL</strong>, throwing <strong>major shade at LeBron James</strong>, suggesting that the <strong>NBA legend has never truly struggled in his entire career</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“The guys who <strong>inspire me are the Kobes (Bryant) and the (Michael) Jordans</strong>; the guys that <strong>stayed at the same place and won in the same place</strong>,”</em> Crosby said, per NFL Media. <em>“No offense to the <strong>guys like LeBron</strong> and those dudes — I won’t give them some heat, but they <strong>took the easier road traveled</strong> and that’s not the way I look at it.”</em></p>

<p>Analyzing Crosby’s words, it seems he might have been referring to how LeBron James <strong>joined the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Miami Heat</a></strong>, forming a <strong>superteam </strong>to <strong>secure championships</strong> before moving on. However, it’s worth noting that <strong>LeBron has also led teams to victory in Cleveland and Los Angeles</strong>, proving that his <strong>success isn’t solely due to taking the “easy road.”</strong></p>



<p><em>“Going through the <strong>ups and downs and the hardships</strong> is going to make it that much <strong>sweeter when I do win a <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/super-bowl" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Super Bowl</a></strong>. So, I plan on being here for a very long time and <strong>I plan on winning here</strong>. You know when I signed that contract, I didn’t have any type of, you know, thought of leaving or idea of leaving. I feel like I’m going to be a Raider for life.”</em></p>

Raiders' Maxx Crosby unexpectedly throws big shade at LeBron James

<p>For years, the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> have been after some <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> stars. <strong>DeMar DeRozan, Zach LaVine, and Alex Caruso</strong> were all rumored targets for the Purple and Gold.</p>



<p>However, the Bulls have never been very active in trades, and especially not with the Lakers. According to<strong> <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> insider Eric Pincus,</strong> that’s not particularly a coincidence.</p>



<p>In his latest talk with <strong>Jovan Buha</strong>, the insider claimed that the Chicago Bulls have purposely refused to engage in trade talks with the Lakers <strong>because of<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James</a>.</strong></p>



<h2>The Bulls Don’t Want To Help LeBron’s Legacy</h2>



<p><strong><em>“In this industry you, you have to make the best decision for you as a team but people are petty and make stupid decisions all the time that like aren’t what’s best for you,”</em></strong> Pincus said.<em> “Fans clamor for Alex Caruso right like for years. Like they should have gotten Drummond and Caruso. I’m like go look at like the transaction logs of Lakers-Chicago like they don’t make trades together. Last one was like during when the Lakers were rebuilding and were terrible.”</em></p>

<p>Pincus later called it as it was, stating that the Bulls ownership simply doesn’t want to help LeBron find more success, as <strong>it could hamper Michael Jordan’s legacy:</strong></p>



<p><em>“The Bulls dumped like an older point guard, a Spanish point guard on them and I forget which one it was. It was a marriage of convenience that helped the Bulls like,”</em> added Pincus. <strong><em>“I think their owner doesn’t want LeBron infringing upon like Michael [Jordan’s] legacy. They’re just not going to help LeBron [James].”</em></strong></p>

<p>For years, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> </strong>fans, analysts, and even players have debated w<strong>hether <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan </a>or<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> LeBron James</a> is the greatest to ever lace them up.</strong> And while some bring other names to the mix as well, those two usually get most of the votes.</p>



<p>Of course, both players have <strong>more than enough arguments in their favor</strong>, and not so many against them. Some cite LeBron’s durability as the only reason why he’s passed Jordan in some stats, while others think that makes him better.</p>



<p>Whatever the case, everybody’s entitled to their opinion. Nonetheless, it’s hard to think of a more authorized voice to talk about that than the actual players. With that in mind<strong>, The Athletic surveyed them on the matter again.</strong></p>



<h2>NBA Players Still Believe Michael Jordan Is The GOAT Over LeBron James</h2>



<p>For the third consecutive year, the<strong> players voted the Chicago Bulls legend as the greatest player of all time. </strong>However, the gap between him and LeBron continues to get narrower, with Jordan getting 45.9% of the votes, and James 42.1%.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="572" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/28103043/Michael-Jordan-1-1024x572-1024x572.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-52262" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Michael Jordan</figcaption></figure>



<p><em><strong>“In this endless debate, His Airness has experienced serious slippage for the third consecutive poll. </strong>Jordan had a huge edge in 2019 (73 percent to LeBron’s 11.9 percent) and was still nearly doubling him in 2023 (58.3 percent to 33 percent). Now the gap is only 3.8 percent,</em>” read the report.</p>



<p>According to the survey, James’ longevity and <strong>recently broken record</strong>s, such as the all-time scoring record, have helped him narrow the gap between him and the original No. 23:</p>



<p>“<em>It makes some sense, though, as James is doing things at this late stage of his career that players this age have never done. <strong>And these many feats, it’s quite clear, are changing the way some players see this debate</strong></em>,” the report added.</p>

<p><strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/steve-kerr">Steve Kerr</a></strong> knows about dynasties better than anyone as he was part of the legendary <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> led by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong>. A few years later, as head coach, he built another with the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong>.</p>



<p>However, the franchise is on a crossroads after another failure in the play-in tournament. <strong>Klay Thompson</strong> is looking for a max contract and <strong>Draymond Green</strong> produced too many problems with his behavior on and off the court.</p>



<p>Furthermore, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> is 36-years old trying to find the right project for the final stage of his career in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>. That’s why the Warriors have no margin of error if they want to conquer another championship.</p>



<p>Now, according to Kerr, the best move for Golden State is trying to keep their core group intact. As an example, he remembered one of the greatest teams in history. </p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28084903/stephencurry-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="" class="wp-image-92546" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Stephen Curry and the Warriors face crucial decisions (Getty Images)</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Steve Kerr compares Warriors’ situation with Chicago Bulls</h2>



<p><strong>Steve Kerr</strong> was asked about the short term future of the <strong>Golden State Warriors</strong> with <strong>Klay Thompson</strong> as an unrestricted free agent.

<p>The GOAT debate is often reduced to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> and <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong>, but there have been other legends who inspired generations. <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/jayson-tatum">Jayson Tatum</a></strong>, for instance, revealed he always looked up to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/kobe-bryant">Kobe Bryant</a></strong>.</p>



<p>“<em><strong>For me, it’s an inspirational thing. The way he inspired people, the way he inspired somebody else 2000 miles away</strong></em>,” Tatum told <em>TNT. “Just watching him on TV, watching his interviews, watching how hard he worked, the ups and downs of his career… me seeing myself in him.”</em></p>



<p>Bryant certainly cemented a legacy during his time with the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a>, inspiring players and fans throughout the entire country. In fact, he’s one of the few icons who every now and then is put into the GOAT conversation.</p>



<p>A five-time NBA champion, 18-time All-Star, and 15-time All-NBA player, Bryant has definitely earned a place among the greatest. LeBron and MJ may be considered in another tier, but that doesn’t matter. For Tatum and many others, Kobe <strong>will always be the legend they look up to.</strong></p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/10/28091701/Jayson-Tatum-3-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Jayson Tatum #0 of the Boston Celtics" class="wp-image-81689" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Jayson Tatum looks on during a Boston Celtics game.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>LeBron James heaps praise on Tatum</h2>



<p>The <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/boston-celtics">Boston Celtics</a> star may have work to do to reach Bryant’s status but he’s already made a name for himself in the league. In fact, even LeBron is an admirer of Tatum’s game.</p>

" title="Jayson Tatum makes heartbreaking admission about Kobe Bryant&apos;s death" publication_id="BUS#20240128#BUS#100719"></div>


<p>“<em><strong>He’s 25 years old and I believe he’s been to the conference finals four times, been to the NBA Finals once. He’s 25,</strong>”</em> James said last week on his <em>Mind the Game</em> podcast. <em><strong>“I didn’t win my first one ’til I was 28. I think Joker (Nikola Jokic) won his first one at 27. I think MJ (Michael Jordan) was 28 as well</strong>.</em>“</p>



<p>Tatum’s talent is unquestionable, though he still lacks a championship on his résumé to reflect his real potential. He’s once again carrying the Celtics aspirations this season, and James is among those rooting for Tatum to finally go the distance.</p>



<p><em>“<strong>We have a lot of expectations on JT, but he’s experienced a lot of winning in his career so far and obviously everyone wants to see him get over the hump</strong>, but four conference finals and a finals appearance before the age of 26, <strong>that’s elite</strong></em>,” James added.</p>

<p>Kevin Durant, <strong>Joel Embiid</strong>, Jayson Tatum, <strong>Devin Booker</strong>, Anthony Edwards, Tyrese Haliburton, <strong>Anthony Davis</strong>, Bam Adebayo and Jrue Holiday are the names which make this squad a clear favorite to win the gold medal.</p>



<p>Since the debacle against <strong>Argentina</strong> in 2004, the <strong>United States</strong> has climbed to the top of the podium in the last four editions of the <strong>Olympic Games</strong>. However, this scenario is different because it would be the Last Dance together for many <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> stars. Something that could only be compared to what happened with the group led by <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong> in 1992.</p>

<p>Certainly, everything will depend on the physical condition of the players with five months left before the start of the <strong>Olympic Games</strong>. For example, even though Embiid is projected as a starter, his injury problems are significant.</p>

<p>For years, fans have engaged in a <strong>never-ending debate about the greatest player in <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">NBA</a> history</strong>. Unsurprisingly, more often than not, the conversation ends in <strong>either <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Michael Jordan </a>or <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>



<p>It goes without saying that both players made a strong case for themselves to get that distinction. <strong>One could go either way</strong>, and the fans are usually more passionate than rational when discussing this matter.</p>



<p>That’s why we at <strong>Bolavip </strong>decided to cut right to the chase and reach out to someone who — literally — cannot be subjective, Artificial Intelligence, a<strong>nd asked ChatGPT his thoughts on the NBA GOAT debate.</strong></p>



<h2>ChatGPT Says Michael Jordan Is The GOAT</h2>



<p>“<em>As a diehard NBA fan,<strong> if I were to choose between Michael Jordan and LeBron James as the NBA GOAT, I would have to go with Michael Jordan.</strong> While LeBron James is undoubtedly one of the greatest players to ever grace the court, Jordan’s impact on the game and his dominance during his era are unparalleled.</em></p>



<p><em><strong>Jordan’s six NBA championships, five MVP awards, and numerous scoring titles highlight his incredible talent and competitive drive</strong>. His ability to elevate his game in clutch moments and his relentless pursuit of excellence set him apart as a true basketball icon.</em></p>



<p><em><strong>Moreover, Jordan’s cultural impact transcends the sport. </strong>His influence on popular culture, fashion, and global awareness of the NBA helped catapult basketball into a worldwide phenomenon.</em></p>



<p><em>While LeBron James has certainly carved out his own remarkable legacy and has achieved incredible feats, including four NBA championships and four MVP awards, <strong>Jordan’s unparalleled success and enduring legacy solidify his status as the NBA GOAT in my eyes.”</strong></em></p>

<p>Ever since <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> made a case to be considered one of, if not the best player in <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> history, the <strong>GOAT</strong> debate has constantly been a talking point in the league. While many claim the King has already won that status, others believe it will always belong to <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong>.</p>



<p>But do the legends in question actually care about this conversation? According to <strong>Carmelo Anthony</strong>, who entered the league in the same draft class as LeBron and even got to play next to him at the Lakers, pursuing the GOAT tag has a <strong>different meaning for James</strong>.</p>



<p><em>“I think Mike did it already. So Mike is the target…But <strong>then you have a young man who is coming along who understands ‘[GOAT status] is what I’m coming for’ the same way MJ was talking about coming for those 11 rings</strong>,</em>” Anthony said in a recent episode of 7 PM in Brooklyn, as quoted by <em>ClutchPoints. “<strong>So I’m going on a journey of being great and through that journey, there’s going to be a point in time where if I do what I have to do, I will be in that conversation with my ido</strong>l</em>.”</p>



<h2>A never-ending debate</h2>



<p>No matter how tired some basketball fans are about this topic, every year the GOAT question somehow makes the conversation. It may be hard to determine who’s the No. 1, as <strong>both sides have fair points</strong>.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/12/28085723/LeBron-James-1-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="LeBron James dribbling" class="wp-image-89428" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>LeBron James dribbling.</figcaption></figure>



<p>Jordan has revolutionized the game of basketball back in the 90s, helping to make the NBA the global phenomenon it is today. His unique abilities immediately changed the destiny of the <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong>, a franchise that, thanks to MJ, reached <strong>unprecedented levels of popularity and success</strong>.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/former-lebron-james-coach-criticizes-him-explains-why-michael-jordan-is-the-goat-20230904-BUS-56979.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20230904_BUS_56979_LeBron-James.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="A former Cleveland Cavaliers coach took a big shot at LeBron James and talked about the GOAT debate.
" title="Former LeBron James coach criticizes him, explains why Michael Jordan is the GOAT" publication_id="BUS#20230904#BUS#56979"></div>


<p>Jordan went on to win six NBA championships as the face of one of the most emblematic dynasties in sports history, setting an example with his hard work and winning mentality. MJ <strong>inspired</strong> not only his teammates, but also millions of kids who wanted to play basketball, such as LeBron.</p>



<p>But James then came in and has been a force of nature <strong>from the get-go</strong>. The King left Cleveland at some point to chase his first ring in Miami, but after winning two championships with the Heat, he decided to go back to the Cavaliers to deliver the city a highly desired success. Stephen Curry’s Warriors didn’t make it easy, but James managed to achieve his goal. With the Lakers’ championship in 2020, James made it <strong>four rings with three different teams</strong>. </p>



<p>When it’s all said and done, fans will probably compare the full stats and achievements of both MJ and LeBron to determine who’s the definitive GOAT.</p>

<p><strong>Michael Jordan</strong> is the greatest player in <strong>Chicago Bulls</strong> history after leading the franchise to six titles in the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong>. It was an amazing run alongside players such as <strong>Scottie Pippen</strong>, Dennis Rodman, Horace Grant, Toni Kukoc and <strong>Steve Kerr</strong>.</p>



<p>Of course, all this happened in two different stages (1991-1993 and 1996-1998) with a Hall of Fame head coach like <strong>Phil Jackson</strong>. However, the Bulls had no <strong>Ring of Honor</strong> to recognize these incredible achievements.</p>



<p>This Friday, all that will change in a historic ceremony at United Center. The biggest names in Bulls’ history will finally get that distinction. However, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/michael-jordan">Michael Jordan</a></strong> won’t be there.</p>



<p>The inaugural Ring of Honor class of the Bulls will be announced tonight during halftime of the long awaited game against <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong> and the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong>.</p>

<p>When you look at <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/stephen-curry">Stephen Curry</a></strong>‘s résumé, you assume there’s nothing he hasn’t achieved throughout his career. The <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/golden-state-warriors">Golden State Warriors</a></strong> superstar has won four <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> championships, two MVP awards, one NBA Finals MVP, and made the All-Star game on nine occasions.</p>



<p>He also got to play next to Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson, and Draymond Green, forming unstoppable teams with them in the Bay area. Even so, the 35-year-old admits he <strong>would have loved to play next to other legends</strong> to make his career even more memorable. Recently, he mentioned the three players he’d have liked to share the court with. </p>



<p>“<em><strong>My top three, obviously [Michael] Jordan, [Shaquille O’Neal] and I’d probably say Hakeem Olajuwon,”</strong></em> Curry told <em>NBC Sports Bay Area</em> in a recent episode of the “Dubs Talk” podcast. <em>“I’d like to play with all three of those guys, because I think with Jordan, we all just want to see it up close and personal. And then I think pick-and-roll with me and Hakeem or me and Shaq would be pretty much unstoppable.”</em></p>



<p>Those are things basketball fans <strong>would definitely love to see</strong>. While a combo of Steph and MJ would be impossible to hold for opponents, Curry would certainly benefit from pairing with players with the size of Shaq or Hakeem.</p>



<figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><div><figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" width="1024" height="576" src="https://media.bolavip.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2023/11/28090055/Michael-Jordan-1024x576-1024x576.webp" alt="Michael Jordan watching an NBA game between the Hornets and Bulls." class="wp-image-88260" sizes="(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px"></figure></div><figcaption>Michael Jordan watching an NBA game between the Hornets and Bulls.</figcaption></figure>



<h2>Curry reveals what ability he would take from them</h2>



<p>Curry was also asked, if he could go back in time, what he would take from these legendary players. When asked whether he would prefer to have MJ’s dominance on the air or Shaq’s strength to physically outplay his opponents, Steph chose the latter. It makes sense, since it’s <strong>something he doesn’t boast</strong>.</p>

<p><em>“<strong>Probably physically dominating</strong></em>,” he said. “<em>It’s just such the opposite of my experience on the court. I’ve dunked a couple of times, but like to have somebody like, (Curry smacks his right hand down to his left), they call it ‘Mouse in the House’ and you can just post up and understand as soon as I catch it, this guy behind me has no chance. That’d be an out-of-body experience, for sure. So I’ve seen the Shaq highlights, I want to break some backboards every once in a while. That’d be fun.”</em></p>



<h2>Curry, Warriors with work to do this season</h2>



<p>With everything he’s done for the organization, Curry will always have time for these kinds of topics regardless of the time of the season. That said, the guard knows the Warriors <strong>have to turn up their level</strong> this year.</p>


        <div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" use="ALSO" link="https://bolavip.com/en/nba/stephen-curry-says-draymond-green-wont-fix-the-warriors-20231126-BUS-87773.html" image="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https%3A%2F%2Fimages.bolavip.com%2Fwebp%2Fen%2Ffull%2FBUS_20231126_BUS_87773_Stephen-Curry-and-Draymond-Green.webp&amp;width=200&amp;height=200" excerpt="Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry opened up on Draymond Green&apos;s suspension and how badly the team needs him back on the court.

<p>Steve Kerr’s men have lost 7 of their last 10 games, which sees them 10th in the West with an 8-9 record. Needless to say, that’s <strong>not even close</strong> to where they want to be by the end of the regular season. </p>



<p>Of course, there’s still a long way to go and they still have a star-studded team. So we’ll have to wait and see whether this was just a bad start <strong>or if this is the theme for the rest of the campaign.</strong></p>

LeBron James reaches a new milestone in the NBA - Bolavip US

<p>A few months ago, <strong>LeBron James</strong> kept the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/nba">NBA</a></strong> in suspense when he opened the door to a possible retirement when the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/los-angeles-lakers">Los Angeles Lakers</a></strong> were eliminated in the playoffs by the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/denver-nuggets">Denver Nuggets</a></strong>. Now, the King is playing his 21st season, trying to enhance his legacy.</p>



<p>Throughout his brilliant career, LeBron has made 10 appearances in the <strong>NBA Finals</strong> and has won four championships. Two of them were during an extraordinary stint with Miami alongside stars like <strong>Dwyane Wade</strong>, Chris Bosh, and Ray Allen.</p>



<p>However, in a very controversial statement, <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lebron-james">LeBron James</a></strong> claims that he never needed the <strong><a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/miami-heat">Miami Heat</a></strong> to build his legacy as one of the greatest players in history.

<h2>LeBron James takes a big shot at the Miami Heat</h2>



<p>Despite acknowledging the importance of the <strong>Miami Heat</strong> as a franchise in the NBA, <strong>LeBron James</strong> asserted that, individually, he wouldn’t have needed them to become one of the greatest players in history.</p>

<p><em>“But as far as my career, my career was going to be my career as far as individually, because I know how much I put into the game and I know how much I strived to be as great as I can be. As far as what I was able to learn here was second to none. That’s for sure.”</em></p>

<h2>LeBron James doubles down on Miami Heat’s legacy comments</h2>



<p>As expected, controversy erupted on social media. Many experts and fans criticized LeBron for downplaying his time in Miami, as, without the Heat, he would only have two championships, and he wouldn’t be in the conversation for being the greatest of all time alongside names like <strong>Michael Jordan</strong>.</p>



<p>However, on his official X account, <strong>LeBron James</strong> defended his comments about the Heat and once again asserted that that team was not necessary to build his impressive legacy in the NBA. </p>



<p>The King said he would still be just as dominant if he never went to the <strong>Miami</strong>. <em>“You damn right I would still be! I’m CHOSEN! Ain’t nothing changing that! Maybe less rings but DOMINANT from start to finish.”</em></p>
