Jordan's former agent David Falk ruled in favor of Michael Jordan in the greatest player debate in an interview with the magazine Sports Business Journal.
He would have won 15 times if Michael Jordan had made the same choice as LeBron James. 'I like LeBron James, but Jordan chose the team he wanted and said he was with 2 superstars and would have won 15 times.
The two players are the best players in the NBA.
Jordan, who joined the Chicago Bulls as the No. 3 rookie draft pick in 1984, won six finals from the 1997-98 season. He achieved three feet twice. Retired once, and achieved three feet since his return. He later reversed his retirement for a second time, playing for the Washington Wizards in 2001. He is the king of basketball in name and reality.
LeBron James won the championship ring for the Cleveland Cavaliers, Miami Heat and Los Angeles Lakers. For the first time in the NBA, it set a record of 50,000 points. LeBron is breaking all career records.
Jordan is ahead in short-term impact and technology, but LeBron is slightly ahead in the total amount of data and career achievements.
In addition, LeBron is a player who can play from 1 to 5. This is the difference between the two players mentioned by San Antonio coach Greg Popovich.
Jordan, on the other hand, won the Chicago Bulls six times in total, and built a team around him before winning the championship. On the other hand, LeBron moved several teams and joined superstars of the time. If Jordan took a difficult but romantic path to win, LeBron took an easy path over Jordan. This is the point where NBA experts criticize LeBron's move.
This is what Fork pointed out. This is why Jordan could have won 15 times if he had walked the same path as LeBron. In fact, Jordan was the powerhouse of the final.
However, there was a rebuttal to this.
CBS Sports said on the 27th (Korea time) 'David Faulk cannot win Jordan's 15th championship. 'Exaggerated claims' Jordan played in the NBA for only 15 seasons. A scenario in which a team can be selected and won 15 times does not exist.
The media reported that LeBron James was nominated to Cleveland at the age of 18. After seven years in Cleveland, LeBron left in search of a better environment.''Michael Jordan also played seven years after being named by the underdog Chicago Bulls. After finishing his seventh season, he was lifting the NBA Championship trophy. From the earliest point when Jordan was able to leave the Chicago Bulls as a free agent to the end of his career, he never spent a single season without winning a championship.'
Jordan made his first retirement after winning three consecutive games since 1991. He has barely played for two years since 1993. After returning to the Chicago Bulls, he retired again after winning three consecutive games.
Won every championship that could have been won during this period except for the retired season. It's a great achievement, but it serves as a basis for Fork's claim that 15 championships are impossible.
The outlet said that 'Jordan won all the winning rings he was able to do during this period.
