LeBron and Chicago

Mike and Mike are talking about it right now...

Basically saying that LeBron does nt want to come to Chicago because there is zerooo way he could ever be the absolute GOAT while wearing a Bulls jersey because the clearly best basketball player ever answer is MJ because of what he did with the Bulls. It isnt an issue of winning or losing because no matter what, the statue in front of the house that Mike built is Mj and will always be MJ.

That is Golic's argument, Greenberg is having a tough time buying that is how Lebron is thinking...

I am going with Golic though and have never thought about that angle until today. As a bulls fan and someone who grew up with mj bulls, theres nothing lebron could do to possibly top that, potentially match it or be in the convo, but no way he could supercede that.

Say he goes to NY and they win 5 titles in 7 years and he averages a trip double one season and scores 40 ppg another and all that...then it becomes different possibly...IDK

IF he came here there is only one way he can solidify his own name and legend. WIN 7 CHAMPIONSHIPS.
