“In Miami year two – title. Went back to Cleveland year two – title. Came to Los Angeles year two – title. That’s what he does. Michael [Jordan] needed Scottie Pippen, LeBron just needs a ball,” Cowherd said.
“LeBron did not go to Golden State or to a stacked team that won a title without him. He went to three places and had to elevate each. Physically and emotionally and structurally.”
He also compared LeBron with Michael Jordan, who needed Scottie Pippen to win titles, per Cowherd. On the other hand, James was and is able to win titles with any team or coach.
“Michael Jordan needed Scottie Pippen. Michael Jordan needed Phil Jackson. LeBron needs the damn ball. He doesn’t need a system. He doesn’t need a coach. He doesn’t need a Robin. He had a small Robin [Kyrie Irving]. He had wing Robin [Dwyane Wade]. He had a big Robin [Anthony Davis].”
Lebron winning the narrative game hard at the moment with these awful media takes. Did Cowherd forget that Lebron routinely picks his teammates and coaches and stacks the deck?
. Both guys (Lebron and Jordan) did not do it alone, each had great teammates and some role players who hit timely shots to help their respective teams win titles. Both are all-time greats and since there will never be 100% consensus on who is the GOAT let's just leave it at that.
