Overview

• Speaking on a Sept. 9 stream with Kai Cenat and Tylil, Green said LeBron James should rank above Michael Jordan because he has won with thinner supporting casts.
• He declared, “MJ had Scottie Pippen; Bron was winning games with Matthew Dellavedova,” a line that was clipped and widely shared on social media.
• Green pointed to J.R. Smith as an example of a player others had written off whom James helped succeed.
• He suggested Steve Kerr was Jordan’s closest equivalent to a Dellavedova-type teammate, arguing Kerr was still a sturdier role player.
• Reports highlighted Dellavedova’s emergency role in the 2015 Finals after Kyrie Irving’s injury and noted this fits Green’s pattern of public GOAT takes, with no new responses from the players mentioned.
