Michael Jordan or LeBron James?
President Donald Trump was asked the “sports question” very specifically: “Who is better as a basketball player?”
Michael Jordan.
Well, I’ve seen them both. Michael Jordan is. Plus, he wasn’t political. So, people like him better.
I’d take Jordan over LeBron. For all LeBron’s skills, Jordan had a singular ability to drive winning through his elite individual scoring, lockdown defense and ruthless competitiveness.
Trump is also right: Unlike LeBron, Jordan was apolitical while playing (though less so now). But I thought this was supposed to be about basketball.
The “stick to sports” crowd really has a way of injecting politics into sports.
