The GOAT debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is a never-ending argument. However, former NBA player Jalen Rose thinks MJ is miles ahead of LBJ.

Jordan’s biggest fan, Skip Bayless, has previously admitted that James is a much better passer than MJ. But he also argued that the Chicago Bulls
Both approaches worked differently for James and MJ. James has made ten NBA Finals appearances and won four titles, while MJ has reached the finals six times and won all championships without ever playing a Game 7.
