Paul Fu responded to Jordan s former agent: The 15-winning remarks on the group lost their price, and some people make a living by criticizing James

On May 25, the battle for the best NBA history (GOAT) broke out again, this time it was triggered by comments from Jordan's former agent David Falke, while James' long-time agent Ritchie Paul (Fu Paul) responded with all his energy.

In a recent meeting at the Sports Business Magazine, Falk reignited the classic debate about Jordan vs. LeBron. He said that if Jordan had "chosen carefully" the team as James had in his career and competed with two other superstars, he would have won 15 championships.

Falke, who once built Jordan's career during the Bulls Dynasty, ranked Jordan as the first person in his heart in history, and Jabbar or Kobe ranked second. When asked if James is in his top ten list of history, Falk replied: "Probably."

These implicit sarcastic remarks did not escape the attention of Rich Paul, the core figure of James' business empire. Paul responded quickly in his latest interview, saying Falke's views were "somewhat falls and hypocritical."

"When it comes to the saying of 'careful selection', it is this person who, with the support of John Thompson, Dean Smith and Mike Shashevsky (note: both are NCAA famous coaches), allowed the superstars to take the initiative to join his business. I think he is the member of 'careful selection'. No matter from any aspect, I think this kind of remarks is a bit of a loss."

"We can't do history Revisionism, everyone wants to judge who is GOAT, who is the best, etc. But I really think he is a bit distracted by saying this."

"Look at the so-called 'choosy', I have discussed this before. Regarding the 'two other superstars' - Jordan has never been forced to leave his parent team, and has never been a side that is not favored in any finals, not even once. "

"Jordan didn't play when he played There is a 24-hour, year-round news cycle, no show that exists specifically for criticizing him. People make a fortune by criticizing James, which even becomes their full-time job. When it comes to the difficulty of everything, Jordan has Dean Smith (college coach), Phil Jackson (NBA coach), and Jerry Kraus (general manager of the Bulls). "

"I am a huge fan of Michael Jordan, I love Michael Jordan, And I don't think Michael Jordan himself would use the word "chosen carefully". I'm not to belittle Michael Jordan, he has raised basketball to a height that benefits everyone." Indeed, although Jordan spent most of his career with the Bulls, surrounded by Hall of Fame teammates like Pippen, coached by Phil Jackson, operated by Jerry Klaus, and was shaping his legend on multiple teams.

U.S. media said that from dragging the Cavaliers into the 2007 Finals, to forming a super team in Miami, and to bringing a historic championship to Cleveland in 2016, James' career has always been accompanied by self-reshaping and risks.

This debate highlights the generational differences in the definition of "great": Jordan is highly praised for his record of winning the finals and "one person, one city", while James is highly regarded for his cross-age adaptability, his evolving style with the league's development, and his still maintaining a top-level level at the age of 40.

In fact, the GOAT battle may never be finalized - Jordan and James dominate the league in a completely different era. But it is undeniable that both of them fundamentally changed the development trajectory of basketball.

However, Ritchie Paul's fierce defense clearly conveys a message: James' historical status cannot be deprecated at will, especially not to be pointed out by someone who once benefited from the support of a player (and many contemporary players have to build it themselves).
