McGrady’s Bold LeBron and Triangle Theory…
Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is defying the laws of nature by playing high-level basketball at the age of 40, which is as rare as a unicorn riding a skateboard! Thanks to his dedication and investment in his body’s upkeep, he remains a fierce competitor. As he continues to age like fine wine, many argue that his unique skills in the twilight years of his career bolster his claim as the greatest of all time. Michael Jordan, usually crowned the GOAT, may have had some serious competition if LeBron had run in Phil Jackson’s triangle offense, suggests Tracy McGrady. The Arena quoted McGrady pointing out that if LeBron started in the triangle, he might revolutionize the game—achieving greatness faster than a cheetah on roller skates!
The triangle offense, famously piloted by Phil Jackson, helped legends like Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant achieve immense success. McGrady’s theory poses an intriguing ‘what if’ scenario, especially considering LeBron’s early challenges with his jump shot. Yet, his supreme ability to read the court like a psychic with X-ray glasses might have ensured he thrived in that system. While teams initially packed the paint tighter than a clown car, LeBron’s passing and vision could have brought a new level of flair to the triangle. And as we debate who reigns as GOAT, Lakers legend Magic Johnson jumped into the arena, ultimately siding with Michael Jordan over LeBron James. So, what do you think? Would LeBron have been king of the basketball jungle in the land of triangles?
