Penny Hardaway Chimes In On The GOAT Debate: “LeBron Is So Great At Making Everybody Feel Like They’re The Man”

 

Nobody could arrive at the same conclusion when it comes to the GOAT debate, and that’s just how it is. At this point, the GOAT debate mainly revolves around two players – LeBron James and Michael Jordan. 

Judging from the general perception, it’s clear that Jordan still has the edge as the greatest player of all time. However, many have recognized that LeBron is inching closer and closer to the Chicago Bulls legend, especially after he led the Los Angeles Lakers to their 17th NBA championship last season.

Now, former Orlando Magic star Penny Hardaway is the latest player to join the conversation. Appearing on ‘Undisputed’, Hardaway detailed the similarities and differences between the two icons before coming up with an honest answer.

 

“I say the similarities, uh they’re both winners for sure whatever team you put them on you’re going to win.

“Obviously like to me, Michael Jordan had that more aggressive mentality of he wanted to just take your heart out, he just kind of wanted to just break your heart out and just feed it to you and LeBron is just going to be more of the orchestrator of it… “

“LeBron is so great at making everybody feel like they’re the man, even though he knew that he was, and Michael wasn’t caring about that he was just going to get the ball and say ‘I’m going to get the win and I don’t care what you feel about or anybody else feels about.”

“You know honestly I hate to compare the guys but right now to me Michael is a goat and LeBron is not far behind that’s just my opinion….. LeBron is my favorite player so it’s you know it’s tough for me.”
