Stephon Marbury: You shouldn’t even be mentioning LeBron James in the same breath as Michael Jordan

Stephon Marbury: I think that as a player, LeBron is the most all-around basketball player to ever touch a basketball. There’s nobody like him. Magic was that for me, but then I saw LeBron and what he’s done. You know, on the winning side, as far as playing, taking everything into account—he’s incredible. “But as far as basketball players go—come on, man—you shouldn’t even be mentioning him in the same breath as Michael Jordan.Source: YouTube What’s the buzz on Twitter?

More on this storyline

Stephon Marbury: “They didn’t want him to play on that team. He didn’t fit for that team, and he still won, so it’s cool. MVP talks—I don’t know. I feel like they were mad he didn’t get the MVP. And this goes back to my story about the media being mad at me because they think I’m a LeBron James hater. I’m like, I love LeBron James as a basketball player. They get mad because I don’t agree that he’s better than Jordan. I’m like, I played against all three of them. I’ve never seen Jordan or Kobe shoot an air ball at the free throw line. Have you? -via YouTube / December 10, 2024

Stephon Marbury: “As far as the Olympics go, you could watch the energy shift. The whole planet watched Steph Curry do what he did, two games in a row. Nobody else was doing that. LeBron was standing in front, acting like he wanted the ball, but he didn’t really want to shoot those threes. Stop it.” -via YouTube / December 10, 2024

But according to veteran NBA reporter Brian Windhorst, there are teams around the league that are wondering if James may want to consider getting traded before the Feb. 6, 2025, trade deadline. “I would be lying if I said that there haven’t been some conversations in the league (about), ‘Would LeBron at some point this year revisit that?’” said Windhorst. “Because you remember last year at the trade deadline, the Warriors called.” -via USAToday.com / December 9, 2024

Marbury was a guest at the Come And Talk 2 Me podcast with Mark Jackson, where he declared the current players are lazier than their counterparts in earlier generations. “When I look at today’s game, and it’s a lot of stuff that I see, when I look at it, I’m like, ‘Wow, these kids don’t really know how to really play.’ If they really knew how to play, play from angles, coming off pick-and-roll, even on defense, it would help save so much time,” he said. “And I don’t really so much think that they don’t know how to play. I just think that they are lazy and not consistent in doing what it is that they’re supposed to be doing. -via BasketNews / November 30, 2024

Jamal Crawford: He was so cold, bro. I went to his house, played with him there, and he showed me around his house. Like, he really invested in me. He even tried to trade for me. Yeah, he even got my eye doctor for LASIK surgery. He’s the one that told me to go get it done. I flew to Alabama because that’s where Dr. Andrews was at the time, back when he wasn’t the big Dr. Andrews we all know now. He did my surgery. -via YouTube / December 10, 2024

Metta World Peace: The last time I spoke to (Michael Jordan) was after the brawl. He was the only player who called me. He said, ‘Don’t worry, young fella, I’m gonna try to get you back.’ When he said that, I thought, ‘Wow, if MJ believes in me, I’ll be back.’ But not even Michael could fix things with David Stern. He was tough.” -via YouTube / December 9, 2024
