Although Celtics celebrity Pierce and James don't seem to have a good relationship, they used to be rivals, and Pierce often says something critical of James, but recently, he said in the media: If James can win the championship this year and get FMVP, then I think his historical status will surpass the "basketball god" Jordan, this passage has also caused a lot of heated discussions among fans!
Pierce believes that James' playoffs started from the play-offs, which is the same as the "Black Eight" in the past, and throughout the history of the NBA, the best result of the "Black Eight" team is to reach the Finals, and there have been two teams in history to do it, one is the New York Knicks, and the other is the Miami Heat.
Just imagine, if James leads the Lakers, all the way to "down the gram", and finally wins the championship, then the difficulty of winning the championship will be unique, so that James will create a great record, and his historical status will naturally improve, at least not second to Jordan.
The strength of the opponent encountered from the Lakers playoffs is a "hell mode", the first round of the playoffs will face the defending champion Denver Nuggets, the two teams have played 7 games counting the previous playoffs, and the Lakers have not won a single game, so the outside world is one-sided optimistic that the Nuggets can win.
The gap between the two teams is huge, so for James, he must play and play a phenomenal performance, so that he has a chance to beat the Nuggets, even if he has a chance to win, he will meet the winner of the forest and the Suns, and the West Finals will also likely meet the Thunder or the Clippers, in short, the journey of the playoffs is not smooth, if James can really win the championship this season, then his difficulty in winning the championship is not inferior to the 2016 Finals reversal of the Warriors.
If he can win the championship this season, James will win the FMVP again, his honor is 5 championships, 4 MVPs, 5 FMVPs, and the blessing of the 411 project, so in terms of honor, it is basically not much different from Jordan, and the historical status ranking does not dare to say that it completely surpasses Jordan, but at least it is comparable!
