The career, legacy, and impact of LeBron James will be debated by NBA experts and fans until the end of time.
Even though he hasn’t retired yet, there are plenty of people talking about him and what he has done for the league.
Speaking to Gilbert Arenas, per Legion Hoops, former NBA star Rashad McCants said he respects Reggie Miller’s legacy over James’.
He said he feels this way because Miller was able to do more with less and didn’t have the same “pieces” that James did during his career.

McCants played in the NBA for four years, suiting up for the Minnesota Timberwolves and briefly for the Sacramento Kings.
That means he was entering the league just as Miller was retiring and as James was taking the crown as the new king of basketball.
He feels that Miller was able to do a lot with far less.
Throughout his career, Miller pushed his Indiana Pacers far, although he was never able to achieve his ultimate goal of winning a championship.
As for James, he has won four, but there are some, like McCants, who feel that has only been possible because of the rosters that have been built around him.
With that being said, certain people would argue that he also did a lot with some lacking rosters, especially during some of his years with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Regardless of what McCants says, there is no denying that both of these men have had an immense impact on the NBA, with Miller considered one of the greatest shooters of all time and James spoken about as perhaps the best basketball player ever.
There is no need to compare them because they have both done amazing things.
