Quick Glance: LeBron vs. Jordan: NBA GOAT Debate
- A player poll reveals that the debate over the greatest of all time between LeBron James and Michael Jordan continues to be intense.
- While Jordan has been chosen as the 'Greatest of All Time' each time, his lead over LeBron has significantly decreased in recent years, primarily due to James' impressive longevity.
- Players emphasize that James' ability to play at an elite level even at almost 40 years old sets him apart from Jordan, who retired twice and played 14 seasons in a 19-year span.
- The NBA GOAT debate is based on factors like influence, statistics, and the evolving nature of the game over the years, with a particular focus on LeBron James' longevity as a crucial factor.

Quick Glance: LeBron James reaches historic milestone with 40,000 points
- During the Lakers' game against the Denver Nuggets on Saturday, LeBron James achieves his 40,000th career point in the NBA.
- Before the game against Denver, Lakers coach Darvin Ham highlights the significance of this milestone to encourage fans to pause debates and focus on a remarkable achievement.
- Denver coach Michael Malone, who was with James as an assistant at the New York Knicks during his rookie season and later coached him in Cleveland, emphasizes that the number 40,000 is more than just a round number.
- Malone emphasizes the need to admire the ongoing greatness of James and describes it as truly remarkable how he handled fame and the spotlight at such a young age. It is fascinating to see that he shows no signs of slowing down, which is even scarier. Stepping back reveals how impressive his longevity is.
