Jeff Teague ends the GOAT battle between Jordan and James. How many generations can Jordan inspire? What about James?

The battle for the greatest players in NBA history has been discussed over the years around Michael Jordan and LeBron James. This year, the Shark O'Neal once included Stephen Curry in the discussion of the best players in history. As a result, in just three months, he posted a list of the top 10 players in history, directly kicking Stephen Curry out of the top ten in history, without any affection. He probably was dissatisfied with Stephen Curry's refusal to fight with injuries in the playoffs, and believed that his behavior was not worthy of becoming one of the greatest players in history.

Shaquill O'Neal's operation has also aroused dissatisfaction among many Warriors fans and media, believing that Shaquill O'Neal is biased against Stephen Curry. However, no matter how you argue, Stephen Curry only has one finals MVP, and he is indeed not worthy of entering the discussion area of ​​the greatest player in history. After all, Michael Jordan and LeBron James, every time they win the championship, they are MVPs in the finals.

In recent years, former NBA player Jeff Teague often talks about some topics about LeBron James on the show, and they are basically sarcastic remarks. Recently, he was asked to express his truest views on LeBron James and Michael Jordan on the GOAT dispute.

Jeff Teague said without hesitation when facing this question, "Is Michael Jordan or LeBron James?" If you choose one of the two, you will choose Michael Jordan. It’s not that LeBron James is not good enough, it’s just that Michael Jordan can inspire and influence generations.

Jeff Teague said, "Michael, just because of how he ruled his time, and then he created a game where everyone wants to be Michael. I have never really heard anyone say they want to be someone like LeBron."

Jeff Teague's remarks make sense. After all, after Michael Jordan appeared, there was no doubt that there was a large number of basketball enthusiasts who wanted to be Michael Jordan like that emerged in the basketball circle. We can often hear some fans saying that I hope I can play like Michael Jordan, dominate the game, play two and three consecutive championships, and have no defeat in the finals. What a cool thing.

As for LeBron James, it is not that there is no fan who doesn't want to be a star like LeBron James. It’s just that the threshold for becoming a star like LeBron and James is a little higher than that of Michael Jordan. First of all, Michael Jordan is a shooting guard. The current NBA standard is basically below 2.06 meters, and you can easily become a shooting guard, and you can easily imitate Michael Jordan's movements.

Of course, these actions are definitely not as terrifying and lethal as Michael Jordan, because their physical fitness is not as good as Michael Jordan. However, this is enough to make these players become All-star stars or superstars in the NBA of this era. For example, Lakers' celebrity Kobe Kobe is the best example. In the 1900s and 1910s, most superstars wanted to be big names like Michael Jordan, but Kobe was the only one who could get close to Michael Jordan.

It is really much more difficult to become LeBron James. As a small forward, LeBron James has both epic strength at both offense and defense at five positions, which is something Michael Jordan cannot do. LeBron James can still win the championship with his own No. 5 position, but Michael Jordan can't do it either.

NBA players today are basically Xiaoling fast, and rarely insist on strength training day after day like LeBron James. Even at the age of 40, they can still average 24 points per game. It's too difficult to be a LeBron James. It doesn't mean that no one wants to be a player like LeBron James, nor does it mean that LeBron James is not as inspiring generations like Michael Jordan.

Take the 2016 NBA Finals major reversal, LeBron James' feat is enough to inspire every NBA star in the future. I believe that as long as I don't give up, I can complete the major reversal when I fall behind 1-3. Michael Jordan and LeBron James have different influences and motivated fans, each with its strengths and weaknesses.

However, let's not forget that LeBron James has also said that he often regards Michael Jordan as his idol, calling Michael Jordan his favorite player of all time. This is Michael Jordan's charm, or the same sentence, seniors are used to transcend, and what juniors need to do is to create their own greatness based on the greatness founded by seniors. This is a kind of inheritance.
