NBA icon Michael Jordan told Michael Wilbon of ESPN to stop criticizing LeBron James. LeBron is one of the most scrutinized players in NBA history. Jordan, who is friends with Wilbon, once told the ESPN commentator to leave LeBron alone.

The debate surrounding the NBA’s greatest player of all-time revolves mostly around two players who displayed greatness in different eras and in different ways. However, one NBA legend calls rubbish.

Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James is the NBA's career scoring leader with 41,222 regular-season points and counting. That is almost 9,000 more points than Michael Jordan -- the league's fifth all-time leading scorer -- scored during his 15-year career, which makes sense when you consider LeBron is in his 22nd season.
