00:00 I don't get caught up in the silliness
00:01 of who's greater, LeBron or Michael or blah, blah, blah.
00:04 But I'll say this, I think his story
00:06 is the greatest story in sports history.
00:10 Because people forget Kobe Bryant wasn't very good
00:14 coming into the NBA.
00:15 People forget that.
00:16 The only guy I've ever seen came right out of high school
00:19 who lived up to it was LeBron.
00:22 And for him to come in at 18
00:25 and be as good as he was as a player,
00:27 and obviously he's come in
00:28 and he's one of the greatest ever,
00:30 depending on what generation you're from.
00:33 And to never have gotten in trouble,
00:35 and especially in today's society
00:37 where everybody's got a cell phone
00:40 and everybody's out to get you.
00:42 I think his story is the greatest story in sports.
