I want to go back to the beginning of the career, right? LeBron was known as the chosen one. He was drafted at 18, fresh out of prom, expected to save a franchise. What did he walk into? That team was 17-65, worst record in the NBA. They missed the playoffs for five straight years.

The best players on that team were Ricky Davis and Big Z. I like to call them the LA Fitness Five because you could take me and one of my friends to LA Fitness, and we could still be the worst team in the league. You know what I mean? And then that team was ranked 29th out of 29th for NBA attendance, which means that neither the fans or the players were showing up. Okay.

If there was a fish fry going on across the street, Skip, people would go to that fish fry. That's how bad it was. Mind you, only by adding LeBron James, they increased their wins by 18 games that season just by adding one man. He's a great player.

Exactly. But what was Jordan doing at 18 and 19 years old?

Yeah, but I heard you say the chosen one goes to the frozen one, but Michael Jordan didn't even have the opportunity to be the chosen one because he wasn't even chosen first in his draft. He was chosen third.

I'll give you Hakeem, but I'm taking Jordan over Hakeem. Exactly, and many people would have in high insight, but I'm just saying that this is how people viewed him. He wasn't even the first option on his team. That was James Worthy. So the way how I look at it is like- You mean when he was a freshman?

And he nails it. But I'm making a comparison skip at that. At that same age, LeBron is expected to take a team out of the poverty franchise and make them into a contender. they were saying it was Hall of Fame or bust. Not I hope he's good, not I hope he's great, but Hall of Fame or bust only option. Michael Jordan, on the other hand, it was, we were grasping at straws.
