cbssports.com/nba/news/player-poll-shows-lebron-james-is-gaining-ground-on-michael-jordan-in-goat-debate-but-bulls-star-still-ahead/
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: Jamal Murray Leads Denver Nuggets to Impressive Victory over LA Lakers
- Jamal Murray achieved an impressive 15-foot buzzer-beater over Anthony Davis to complete a sensational 20-point comeback and give the Denver Nuggets a 101-99 victory over the Los Angeles Lakers. This unexpected triumph grants the defending champions a 2-0 lead in the first round, as they now prepare for the upcoming games in the Lakers' arena.
- Following the game-winning shot, Jamal Murray fell into the Nuggets' bench and was embraced by his teammates, igniting the atmosphere in the Ball Arena. Murray faced a challenging start in the game, hitting only three of his first 16 shots before going 6-for-8 in the fourth quarter, scoring 14 of his total 20 points, including the decisive basket.
- While Murray encountered difficulties, the Nuggets stayed competitive thanks to another outstanding performance by Nikola Jokić, who recorded 27 points, 20 rebounds, 10 assists, and two steals. Michael Porter Jr. also played a crucial role in the Nuggets' victory with 22 points, including successful shooting from beyond the arc.
- The Lakers expressed dissatisfaction with the officiating, particularly regarding a play in the third quarter where a foul against Porter Jr. on D'Angelo Russell was overturned after a review by the Nuggets. It is evident that the Lakers' prospects are increasingly dim after losing 10 consecutive games against the Nuggets. A monumental shift in fate will be required for Los Angeles to progress to the next round.
