MIAMI (AP) — LeBron James says he’s flattered by Scottie Pippen saying the Miami forward “may be the greatest player to ever play the game.”
James does not agree, however.
Pippen created a bit of a firestorm Friday by telling ESPN Radio that Michael Jordan “is probably the greatest scorer to play the game” but James may be the better overall player.
