LeBron James will go down as one of the greatest basketball players of all time. There’s one player he hasn’t passed to become THE greatest of all time, Michael Jordan. After winning 3 NBA championships, 3 Finals MVP awards, 4 NBA MVP awards, 2 Olympic gold medals, a 12-time All-Star, 12 All-NBA teams, 6 All-Defensive teams, NBA Rookie of the Year, NBA scoring champion, the Cavaliers all-time leading scorer and brought them their first NBA championship, you have to think, what else is there left for him to do?! King James still hasn’t passed Michael Jordan because of one magical number, 6. That’s the number of championship rings MJ has. LeBron says chasing Jordan is his latest motivation.
“My motivation is this ghost I’m chasing,” James said in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “The ghost played in Chicago.”
“My career is totally different than Michael Jordan’s,” James said. “What I’ve gone through is totally different than what he went through. What he did was unbelievable, and I watched it unfold. I looked up to him so much. I think it’s cool to put myself in position to be one of those great players, but if I can ever put myself in position to be the greatest player, that would be something extraordinary.”
“I’ll have peace when I’m done,” James said.
