The debate on who is the greatest of all time has created a narrative that Jordan and James hate each other. Fans of both players do not help, as they continue to bicker and fight online. However, two-time NBA champion Quinn Cook has revealed that the two players have a great relationship that is not known to many.
In an appearance on Courtside with Dukes podcast on Clubhouse, Cook opened up about being in the inner circle of ‘The King’. He noted that he has seen James talk on the phone, have dinner and interact with Jordan. Cook also said that Jordan is also a mentor to James.
Cook also compared the relationship between Jordan and James to the one Jordan had with Kobe Bryant. The two legends were not very public about their friendship until after Bryant retired.
It goes to show that the NBA is a tight-knit family, but the debate on who the better player between James and Jordan will probably go on forever.
LeBron James comments on his moment with Michael Jordan
LeBron James hit the game-winning fadeaway shot to remain undefeated in the NBA All-Star Game as a team captain. In the postgame press conference, James talked about his heartfelt moment with Michael Jordan during the NBA 75th Anniversary Team celebration.
LeBron James grew up idolizing Michael Jordan, wearing his No. 23 for almost his entire career. The two never really had a public relationship, but maybe the moment last Sunday was a start. James is in the twilight of his NBA career, so he might have more time to spend time with James and play golf with ‘His Airness’.
