Nick Wright on the lack of relationship between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “Just my speculation here. I think that Jordan became less and less comfortable with LeBron’s place in the basketball ecosystem as LeBron started getting closer and closer and closer to becoming the people’s choice for greatest... player ever. I always felt one of the reasons Jordan embraced Kobe was not only did Kobe model his entire game and at times his persona after Jordan, it was very clear relatively early that Kobe was never going to, like Kobe’s ceiling in the eyes of the majority was going to be second to Jordan. And so Jordan felt comfortable putting his arms around him. There was no threatening of his stature. And it’s not lost on anyone that people had been trying to make the last dance forever. That footage had been around forever and Jordan did not okay it until two days after the 3-1 comeback against the Warriors. The story is that it was the day of the Cavs parade that Jordan finally green lit that. So I think there’s always been a little uncomfortableness, but I think it is very interesting that LeBron is saying, “I hope I made him proud.” (Via What’s Wright? with Nick Wright)show more

You are just making up a story to fit your narrative. Nicks love and defense of LeBron at every turn is weirdo behavior

“Just my speculation here” Proceeds to project absolutely nonsensical fan fiction to further paint Jordan as insecure and afraid of LeBron It ain’t that deep. Why does there need to be a relationship at all

LeBron isn't and will never be better than Kobe. These idiots just repeat Klutch talking points hoping they will stick.

This may be the dumbest thing I ever heard.

Lol anything this clown says about basketball can not be taken seriously. For real he is a paid journalist to speak positive about lebron and anything lebron does. Or he really should not be saying anything on sports. I was giving him the benefit of the doubt.

God awful take! To think MJ has any type of feeling about LBJ challenging his legacy his ludicrous. Only LBJ fans think all these “extra stats” bring him closer to MJs status. Please…… 4-6 in the chip is the only stat that matters to MJ in my opinion

Kobe was very persistent in trying to have a relationship with Jordan. Jordan wasn’t seeking Kobe. Kobe was seeking MJ. Now, I havent heard all of the 23 years that Lebron was seeking Jordan to have that relationship. @getnickwright perhaps you have intel on that.

My take is MJ sees LeFraud as a cocky a-hole like he usually is, sees how he disrespects the game with his flopping and fake injuries, and wants nothing to do with it. Also, Bron and Diddy parties, Bron and PEDs....

Bwahahahahahahahahaha If Nick Wright sucks any harder he’s gonna empty LeBron bowels. What a fucking assclown joke.

nick wright is actually extremely right with this theory

Hate to burst your bubble but “LeBrons place in the basketball ecosystem” will always be stuck behind MJ’s. MJ’s entire career from college, to the Olympics, to the NBA, 6-0 in NBA finals, the MVP’s. That’s legendary. Even the high school story about him getting cut trying out the first time. Setting up his sequential legendary career is like the beginning of a mythical story. The things he did on the court made people’s mouth drop in awe. LeBron played a really long time on some cherry picked teams. And is embarrassing himself late in his career with all the flopping around from ghost fouls. You think that’s a joke but people watch that shit. And judge him for it. Makes you wonder what it’s even all about. Turns him into a clown. MJ’s the unquestionable GOAT.

Comfortably spewing thrash … like he knows a damn thing about Mj

This suckass is a straight up stupid., “ The People’s choice “ ???? LeBron James won’t EVER be considered the greatest player, by the majority. It’s not even close

Nick Wright: Lebron started getting closer and closer to the becoming the people's choice for GOAT. Lebron: Anytime people bring up the GOAT conversation, someone always gets shitted on and it's usually me. Nick Wright is detached from reality.

Biggest loser on tv. Why don’t you have a relationship with Emmanuel acho? Is it cause you’re insecure? That’s how this works right?

@twnkiehuntr Wilbon recreating history saying Jordan told him the media should let up on Bron tells me they followed his demands to take every angle to diminish him as well. They want to provide cover for Jordan as if these narratives vs Bron were organic.

It's more that Jordan basically exited basketball for the majority of LeBron's career. In 14 years of working NBA games I've seen him maybe once. Outside of when he was at Hornets games as owner, he just didn't associate himself with the game like that with the way Kobe did.

I mean, just look at this abomination LMAOOOOOO how can you get this fucking ugly and be this dumb at the same time 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 HOLY FUCK

Jordan beat LeBron in terms of audience head to head with the last dance vs LeBron’s bubble chip. Whomp whomp

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 Bron is the Manchurian Candidate, the tail wagging the dog, not "the people's choice"!!!!

Or and hear me out he just doesn’t like the fucking guy they are nothing alike outside of they like basketball. Personalities and mindsets are polar opposites

Would you rather watch Jordan at his peak or LeBron? Sports is about winning and stats for sure but in the modern day it’s about spectacle and by that metric (among others) Jordan shines best and brightest.

The stories we convince ourselves of to make us feel better about our heroes

lol that is HILARIOUS Nick think LeFlop will ever be considered ‘the people’s choice’ for GOAT. Jordan has nothing to worry about. LeFlop will be remembered for all the damage he did for the game, his ‘team up’ chasing, his crybaby antics.

Reputable people have literally come out in the last 24 hours telling stories of MJ approaching Sports Media people and telling them to take it easy on Lebron… But “clicks” right?

@getnickwright Kobe called and called and made it a priority to have a relationship with MJ cause it was important to him. Lebron doesn’t want a relationship with MJ if he did he would’ve reached out and made it a priority and not mention it in an interview.

Nick Wright and Lebron are in PANIC mode right now. Career is ending and yet everyone going back to Michael Jordan as the GOAT ... 🤣🤣🤣

Nobody fears Bron - that will always be part of Brons legacy. Every star player ate on his watch while he paraded from team to team adding superstar talent all along the way. I don’t get the obsession with needing Bron to be the GOAT - move on - he’s a top 5 player all time

MJ saw a lot of himself in Kobe. Alpha males. LeBron’s stupid pre game antics during warmups is queerish. Emotionally Lebron is a child. He and MJ/Kobe would never be tight.

Once he said “just my speculation here,” EVERYONE should have tuned him out. People just love hearing drama and accept themselves to feed into manipulated information (for whatever reason) As soon as someone ADMITS they are about to lie, why the hell even listen.

Nick is the dumbest media guy of all time. Get Labozos cock out of your mouth for once. Why would MJ feel uncomfortable about Brons game. MJ dominated the game won everything & left. It took Bron 8 more seasons to catch Jordan’s stats but not rings or MVPs. MJ has no worries⬇️FOH

@WhatsWrightShow speculation guesses, or opinions about some1 without firm evidence. Only bronsexuals have embrace queen, after 2007 2008 2011 he 📉 any credit ability among a greatest. @apexjones22 @TheTruth8240 @TheCaseForkobe1 @amyknowsball @SloHoopsFan @Hero_OfThe_Day

MJ, the dude that doesn’t talk to anyone ever or interact with anyone on social media for decades does not care if he is or isn’t talking to LeBron. This man has covered this sport for this long and still doesn’t understand that??

@getnickwright Jordan shoes are more popular than LeBron James himself. The idea that Jordan was threatened by LeBron is insane 😂

No; its that MJ is classy and probably sees LeGM as a big mouth, balco’ed up, bagless scumbag who disrespects the game and the legends who came before him, who gets bums like nick wright to say legm is the best when hes not
