James late-night post caused heated discussion

11:52pm, 31 August 2025【Basketball】

At three o'clock in the morning, LeBron James suddenly posted a long article on social platforms: "When I broke the 10th Jordan record, I thought I would hear more applause - but the reality is that many people are still discussing 'who is the real GOAT'." This dynamic instantly detonated the Internet, and liked it exceeded one million in 5 hours.

Some people say that James' data is not valuable enough, some people say that the times cannot be compared, and some even say that "Jordan's legendary status cannot be copied." But when we open the data volume: James' total regular season score, total playoff score, and annual first-team number all surpass Jordan, this is an ironclad fact.

Why is his achievements always questioned? Perhaps it is because Jordan represents the perfect symbol of an era, and James lives under the microscope of the flow era. Every mistake is interpreted by slow release, every transfer is called "grouping", and even his charity and educational investment are labeled as "personal marketing".

But we must admit that James's peak at the age of 39 is a miracle in sports history. He faces a more scientific defense, a more intensive schedule, and a more demanding public opinion environment. There is no need to repeat Jordan's legend, but James' lasting dominance is also worthy of awe.

Among the new generation of players in the league, Doncic, Tatum and others publicly call James "the most comprehensive player in history", but few celebrities publicly express their support. Behind this "silent differential treatment", is it the filter of the times, or is the league deliberately maintaining the Jordan myth?

In my opinion, the definition of greatness is never a substitution, but an expansion. Jordan defined the peak of basketball, while James redefined the "length of peak". When we compare the two, we should not use the dualistic thinking of "who is stronger", but we should see the whole process of basketball evolution because of them.

James may never be able to satisfy everyone, but on the day he retires, people will eventually realize: what we witness is a monster who can still score 30 points in the finals at the age of 41, and a pioneer in reshaping basketball logic with 20 years of youth.
