Yeah, I didn't want to see it. My kids got turned off on it, so it's kind of turned me off. So I didn't have any interest to watch it anymore.

Oh, yeah. Well, I will say he, Michael, he was built different. Competitive 24-7. Not too many people are built like that. I agree. Willing to compete at any level and at anything. So when you look at these players in today's era, being LeBron, there's really no comparison. When you talk about the level of competitiveness, Michael bunched up.

all of his competitiveness and sort of exposed it out to the world within 12 to 14 years. We saw his whole resume, his competitiveness, his drive, his will to win, what he's want to do. When someone like LeBron has to spread that out for 20 plus years, it's not the same drive. It's not the same fight. It's not the same hunger.

And so when people try to make those comparisons of those two players, it's like talking to someone in the front seat, in the back seat. They ain't even in the same lane.

It's not even worth talking about when you ask who's better, LeBron or Michael. You can't ask me who's the goat between LeBron and Michael. Neither one of them are goats. They both won differently. You can't put them at the top of the pinnacle. Magic Johnson, to me, is a bigger goat than anybody because of how he led, how he brought a whole team together.

How when the greatest scorer in the game, Kareem, was not there, and him as a rookie steps in and plays a position that no one even knew he could play. That's transcending what you can do as a player.

I think for me, when I... LeBron got lanes every night. When we played, there were no lanes. Wasn't nothing but hardwood floor. If you go to the basket, you're going to hit the wood. There's no comparison. There's... The basketball in the late 80s until the early 90s, physical, hard nose, no layups, earn it from the free throw line. Today's game, it's about three-point shooting.

It's about driving it to the basket, finishing. Did you hear me say earn it at the free throw line? That doesn't even exist in today's game. It's just about shooting the ball, shooting the ball.

Well, I'm going to be honest that my options weren't that great. Really? Because of the way that the CBA was set up.
