Paul Pierce tells Kevin Garnett that LeBron James was the face of the NBA in year 2nd or 3rd while KG says You’re crazy! He wasn’t nothing special back then we just saw him as Young Bron. It was Kobe Bryant league at that time
Donovan Mitchell defends James Harden, saying that LeBron James and Michael Jordan also struggled on big stages
“Yeah, sure, has he had some rough moments? I’m sure we all have. LeBron [James] is one of the greatest players ever. We don’t really speak on the [Dallas] Mavericks [NBA] Final [in 2011] when he struggled [with the Miami Heat]. We don’t speak on [Michael] Jordan taking eight years to get to the Finals. We speak on the wins.”
