Stephen Jackson has spent years ranking LeBron James behind Michael Jordan and Kobe Bryant in the GOAT debate, and he is not backing down now. Just weeks after LeBron stunned the basketball world by leaving the Los Angeles Lakers for a stacked Philadelphia 76ers roster, Jackson weighed in on the decision. His take on All The Smoke has already sparked fresh debate among fans and ***** ysts alike.
Jackson did not hold back when comparing LeBron's free agency choice to his earlier return to Cleveland.
"With all the GOAT talk comparing him to Michael and Kobe, going back to Cleveland was the only move that made sense to keep him in that conversation. Joining a team that's already championship-ready isn't the best player in the league challenging himself," Stephen Jackson said.

The former NBA forward's point centers on how fans constantly compare James to Jordan and Bryant, two players who built their legacies by carrying their own rosters through adversity.
