For Pete's Sake

An NBA fan made a funny mashup video of Michael Jordan laughing at LeBron James

The best thing about ESPN’s “The Last Dance” documentary is that it’s finally put to rest the debate about whether Michael Jordan or LeBron James is the greatest NBA player of all-time.

I’m kidding, of course. That argument will linger forever.

However, James did claim he’s the greatest player after helping the Cavaliers rally from a 3-1 deficit and beat the Golden State Warriors in the 2016 NBA Finals. The Warriors had set an NBA record with 73 regular-season wins, which is why James was so impressed with what he’d done.

As was noted in “The Last Dance,” that 2015-16 Warriors squad was the second-best team in NBA history behind the 1995-96 Chicago Bulls, which won 72 games in the regular season and featured Jordan.

In the 1996 NBA Finals, the Bulls beat the Seattle SuperSonics, who had Gary Payton. In “The Last Dance,” Payton claims he shut down Jordan in the games he guarded the former Bulls star.

Jordan had a laugh as he watched a clip of Payton’s boast on a tablet, and that’s the basis of a mash-up video from a Twitter user named Shane.

It’s of Jordan laughing at the clip of James saying he’s the best ever. Team LeBron may not like this, but it’s a funny video:
