Overview

  • Green made the comments during a Sept. 9–10 Twitch appearance with Kai Cenat and Tylil, arguing LeBron James is the greatest of all time over Michael Jordan.
  • He said Jordan had Scottie Pippen while James "was winning games with Matthew Dellavedova," adding that LeBron revives players others dismiss.
  • Green pointed to J.R. Smith as an example of a player James trusted and elevated, contrasting that approach with Jordan’s supporting casts.
  • He likened Jordan’s closest equivalent to Dellavedova to being Steve Kerr, calling Kerr probably one of Jordan’s worst contributing teammates.
  • The remarks drew quick online attention and fit Green’s pattern of public GOAT takes, with no new responses from the players named reported.
