Over the years, various NBA greats like Magic Johnson and Shaquille O'Neal have commented on the LeBron James vs Michael Jordan debate. Johnson had chosen Jordan as his all-time GOAT, stating that James was still a couple of championships away from competing with the Chicago Bulls legend. The Los Angeles Lakers star has won three NBA championships, while Jordan led the Bulls to six titles in eight years. When asked about his comparisons to Jordan, James has stated that he wants to be the first LeBron James and not the second Michael Jordan. James is currently at the NBA bubble in Orlando and played his first scrimmage against the Dallas Mavericks, where he dropped 12 points.
