Wilbon: “Jordan used to call into ESPN to ask them to stop hating on LeBron. This kid is great”

Wouldn't be surprised one bit tbh. Not saying they're the best of friends, but it always seemed that MJ respected players who put in work; as Bron has obviously done for decades. Might be wrong but I only remember that one interview about him complaining about young players getting huge contracts mostly off of potential, but I don't really remember him talking down on actual newer stars. IIRC when he retired he said something about the game being in good hands while talking about the Kobes, AIs, Duncans etc (Bron wasnt in the league yet). And Bron is a student of the game, all jokes and stan wars aside he probably has the utmost respect for MJ.

mj from the era where you protect & uplift heroes

he can empathize & imagine how they would ruin his legacy had he played in the current hater era

he is aware of what bron is facing
