The conversation around LeBron James and Michael Jordan never stops. But Brogdon doesn’t fall into the trap of comparisons. Instead, he acknowledges the greatness in both — especially what LeBron is doing now in Year 22. “One, I think that it’s hard to compare greatness on that level. I think that they’re the greatest to play in regards to picking up a basketball,” Brogdon said. “At 40, I think that LeBron is playing at a higher level but I think medicine and I think science has come a long way,” he added. “But I think also longevity has to be counted for LeBron — he’s the first player in this game to have longevity that is counted against him, you know? It’s one of his downfalls.” That last point — subtle but powerful — speaks volumes. We’ve never seen anyone do what LeBron is doing this late in his career. And yet, Brogdon says, that same longevity is used by some as a knock. “So you know I think that definitely it’s something that gives him a nod when you’re comparing the two.”Source: ScoopB.com
