Draymond Green was a guest on Kai Cenat’s Mafiathon 3 Twitch Stream on Tuesday (September 9). And during his appearance on stream, the age-old topic of the Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate came up.
Draymond Declares LeBron The Goat Over MJ
When the topic of which player is the greatest of all time (GOAT) came up, the Golden State Warriors star chose LeBron James. And when Green gave his reason for why he would choose LeBron over MJ, former NBA player Matthew Dellavedova caught a stray. As Green mentioned, he just does not think that MJ was capable of winning championships with that type of low-caliber players.
“I don’t think MJ had many guys that went through that,” Green said to Cenat. “Delly stinks. He won two games in the NBA Finals with [James]. I got a lot of respect for Delly, but he completely stinks. To win with guys like that, MJ wasn’t winning with Matthew Dellavedova.”
Fans in the comments section were furious about Green’s statement.
“Delly didn’t hospitalize himself shutting down Steph Curry just to get shade like that from Draymond,” one fan said on X, formerly known as Twitter.
“LeBron had Wade, Bosh, Ray Allen, and Kyrie, but sure,” another user added.
“Steph Curry was winning with Draymond, maybe he’s the GOAT?” a third user said.
Another former teammate of LeBron’s that Draymond brought up was JR Smith. Green noted that a lot of people had given up on JR. But after joining James on the Cleveland Cavaliers, he was able to revive his career.
“As talented as JR was, people threw the towel in on him,” Green added. “It’s not just JR, though. If you look at some of the guys that he had to lead — JR had talent, no question, but people threw the towel in on him, though. When people throw the towel in on you in this league, it’s over. People threw the towel in on JR, and Bron was like, ‘Nah, this man can shoot and he can defend. I can do something with that.’
