Even before he set foot on an NBA court, people were already talking about LeBron James and whether he was going to be the next Michael Jordan — or even bigger.
It’s been 21 years since he made his professional debut, and that talk hasn’t gone away.
Some believe James is already the greatest player in the history of the game while others believe he still has a ways to go before catching Jordan.
That’s obviously not the case with his agent, Rich Paul.
Talking to Stephen A. Smith on his show, the superagent and CEO of Klutch Sports stated that there’s simply nothing else for James to accomplish or prove at this point in his career.
“If LeBron, Mike and Kobe was in a room together, they all belong,” Paul said.

He doesn’t think he needs to catch Michael Jordan or even Kobe Bryant in championships, stating that if they were all in the same room, everybody would know they all belong there.
James has the longevity stats, and he’s obviously the better passer of the three.
Kobe was the better scorer and had a stronger mindset, and he didn’t need another superstar teammate to win two of his rings.
Jordan was the most dominant player ever and a guy who never lost in the NBA Finals.
It doesn’t matter how you look at it, no one can take anything away from any of these three, so maybe this whole debate is pointless.
