Part 7/8:
In the latter part of the interview, the topic of the "greatest of all time" (GOAT) debate emerges, especially concerning Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Scottie articulates that comparisons between these two superstars are often superficial. He points out that the structures of their teams, the era they played in, and the media narrative surrounding them are vastly different, making direct comparisons misleading.
As they delve deeper into this analysis, Scottie emphasizes that greatness cannot easily be quantified or compared across generations. He cites Magic Johnson's impact on the game as an additional benchmark of excellence, acknowledging the complexities and unique contributions each player has made to the league.
