Stephen A. Smith: Michael Jordan’s superiority over LeBron James evident in All-Star Game decision

In a current dialog with Shannon Sharpe, Stephen A. Smith, the outspoken ESPN commentator, introduced up a key episode from the previous to help his stance on the endless debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan’s greatness.

Smith revisited the 2012 NBA All-Star Game, a contest that’s memorable for LeBron’s stunning decision to go up a possible game-winning shot. This selection, as Smith argues, is a microcosm of why Jordan continues to be thought to be superior.

During the All-Star Game, with the ball in LeBron’s palms, the likes of Kobe Bryant, Dwyane Wade, and Carmelo Anthony urged him to take the shot.

“All three of them, along with Kobe, descended on LeBron and said, ‘Yo, what’s up? What you doin’?’ Because they knew he was psyched out. He was messed up,” Smith mentioned, through Brad Sullivan of Lakers Daily.
