”I am not saying he wasn’t a leader. I am not saying he hasn’t been a leader. I’m certainly not questioning his greatness. Do you have any idea what it took for him [Wilbon] to go to national television and say what he said about those two brothers? The acrimony, the friction, the divide, the fragmentation, all of those things play a role in contributing to one’s greatness or lack thereof. Maybe that’s the reason LeBron has four rings instead of six,” Smith said.

Smith explained the key difference between LeBron James and Michael Jordan

Smith argues that LeBron James may not be the NBA’s Greatest of All Time (GOAT) because he has had multiple head coaches throughout his career. According to Smith, the fact that Darvin Ham is James’ eighth coach suggests that he doesn’t handle pressure well and tries to avoid it. Stephen A. Smith sees this as a key difference between LeBron and Michael Jordan.

However, despite the debates, LeBron James has won four NBA titles during his illustrious career as a basketball player. He won his first two championships with the Miami Heat and his third with the Cleveland Cavaliers.
