NBA Champion Makes Statement on LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan After US-Serbia

The Paris Olympics group stage began with an impressive win over Serbia, USA Basketball remained perfect after a 5-0 run in their Showcase Games. With Kevin Durant returning from injury in this game, Team USA got a special performance from the Phoenix Suns star who led all scorers with 23 points on just one missed shot.

Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James had the best all-around game of any player on Sunday, with 21 points, nine assists and eight rebounds. While James dominated Serbia, former NBA guard Nick Young sent a message to Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan that James is the greatest of all time:

One of the arguments James has for being the greatest of all time is his longevity. James is still one of the best players in the world at 39 years old, and is already the NBA’s all-time leading scorer, and has a chance to push that record even further out of reach as he continues to play at a high level.

Young played 12 seasons in the NBA, spending time with the Washington Wizards, Los Angeles Lakers, Golden State Warriors, Philadelphia 76ers, LA Clippers and Denver Nuggets. Young won a championship with Golden State in 2018 and played with USA Basketball stars Kevin Durant and Steph Curry. Team USA head coach Steve Kerr also served as head coach of that Warriors team in 2018.
