NBA analyst Rob Parker has stated that LeBron James is not the greatest of all time and he isn’t in the same category as legendary Michael Jordan. James recently broke the all-time scoring record of Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to write his name in the history books.
King James, as he is famously known, now has 38,411 points in his tally. During the match between Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs at the Super Bowl, James was seen on the big screen along with his wife Savannah.
But James had to face loud boos from the crowd, and Parker feels the crowd doesn’t even respect the veteran.
On the Odd Couple podcast, Rob Parker said, “They booed LeBron James from the high heavens at the Super Bowl. And you know what it tells you? It tells you that America only recognizes ONE KING, and it’s BURGER KING! That’s the only king, not King James, not LeBron James.
“LeBron could forget that being the leading scorer all-time has somehow changed the way people view him and somehow elevated him over Michael Jordan.
“I could not imagine Michael Jordan being booed under any circumstances by a massive crowd like that if he was coming off a crowning achievement. It tells you that LeBron is not the GOAT, not the greatest of all time because they didn’t even respect him.”
Meanwhile, Michael Jordan is regarded as one of the best players to have graced the sport and won a total of six NBA rings in his career. In comparison, James has won NBA titles in his illustrious career so far.
James scored 21 points in his return match for the Lakers against New Orleans Pelicans before the All-Star break.
