McGrady’s Bold LeBron-Jordan Comparison…
In the land of basketball wonders, LeBron James, at the age of 40, is playing so well that even Father Time is asking him for workout tips. The Los Angeles Lakers star is well-known for investing more in his body than a billionaire in the stock market, keeping him in the running for the title of GOAT. While most hail Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan as the greatest, Tracy McGrady suggests that James could claim GOAT status if he had played like a ninja in Phil Jackson’s triangle offense. The arena would have had to install extra dunks to keep up!
The triangle offense, a magical strategy conceived by 11-time champion coach Phil Jackson, was like the Hogwarts School for basketball wizards, shaping players like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant. McGrady believes that if LeBron had learned the sorcery of the triangle early on, his skills would have grown faster than a beanstalk in fairy tales. Though LeBron lacked a consistent jump shot in his early years, his uncanny passing ability meant that he could dissect defenses as if armed with an X-ray vision. Would LeBron’s wizardry in the triangle lead to a faster jump-shot development and take the GOAT title? That’s one enchanted debate!
