Shannon Sharpe is one of the first names that comes to mind when thinking of those that defend LeBron James’ legacy. Sharpe has long shouted from the rooftops that James is the greatest player to ever play in the NBA. The GOAT debate is a debate that will never find a definite answer. However, James put another great chapter in his legacy on Monday night. The Lakers star led his team to victory over the Memphis Grizzlies in Game 4 of their playoff series. On Tuesday, Sharpe reminded the world of James’ greatness.
James finished the game with 22 points and 20 rebounds. A stat that doesn’t seem possible for James to even reach at this stage in his career. However, James has put the “old” comments to bed in this series. James’ performance had Sharpe almost incoherent when describing the performance. On Tuesday’s edition of Undisputed, Sharpe compared James to the greatest pieces of entertainment fans have ever seen. Sharpe doesn’t believe anyone has or will be on James’ level. Check out Sharpe’s entire comments in the video below.

However, Sharpe’s co-host Skip Bayless has a different idea of who the greatest NBA player of all time is. Bayless doesn’t believe anyone is on the level of Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan. In the video, you can see Shapre and Bayless become a little playful with one another over the debate. However, Sharpe wasn’t done comparing James to some of the other greatest of all time. This led Bayless to jokingly compare James to a baby in a manger from Bethlehem.
Maybe comparing James to Jesus Christ is a slight exaggeration. But nobody can deny what James’ legacy has done for the NBA. There are only a select few that can be considered in the conversation as the greatest of all time. James continues to rewrite history in his favor of the argument. Now another Finals run would put James in the category of one. Do you agree with Shannon Sharpe that James is the greatest of all time?
