Beasley: Jordan has never faced James' spotlight, but James made money because of it

Recently, former NBA player Michael Beasley participated in Moshe Popack's podcast and talked about the topic of GOAT.

Basley said: "But for Jordan, unfortunately for LeBron, there was no social media in his era, and the players and free agent market were not so closely connected, and they were not exposed every day. In the 1990s, we only knew what was happening in our neighborhoods, and now we know what happened around the world. LeBron's career started right in the era of social media. It was not unfortunate, but—you know, it made him a lot of money. But if Jordan played in this era, the discussion would have been completely different."

"But that's the reality, I just feel like LeBron has been under pressure since the eighth grade - when I first heard about him, I told my mom that he was the only player I talked about, and my favorites were Jordan and Vince Carter at that time). From 12, 13 to now 36, he has never fallen out of the chain - whether it's my personal hero, the hero of the kids, the leader, the philanthropist, or any other role. His life experience is too comprehensive, and we shouldn't argue about this topic anymore."
