Constantly asking 'is he the GOAT?' has overshadowed the most remarkable aspect of James' career: his longevity.
I remember the day I stopped playing basketball. It wasn’t easy. It also wasn’t my decision. The 20-something-year-old who was giving me that work made the decision for me. When my 50-year-old self finally scored a basket on him, one of my teammates yelled, “get him old school.” At first, I had no idea who he was talking to. I had been playing basketball for 40 years, and no one had ever referred to me as “old school.” Then that kid scored on me again. And then again.
The simple fact that sports media have been debating “Jordan versus LeBron” for more than a decade is an affront to the concept of time. Grant Hill. Vince Carter. Kobe. Penny Hardaway. Harold Miner Jr. The industry started christening “the next Jordan” quickly and often. And understandably so. How could we not want to see a clone of the greatest player we had ever seen? But while sports media moved on from some of the earlier candidates, we continue to be fascinated with James.
