Nick Wright has never been shy about where he stands in the LeBron James and Michael Jordan debate, but his latest take may be one of his boldest yet.

After LeBron delivered another impossible playoff moment against the Houston Rockets, Wright used it to make a point that was always going to spark outrage.

For him, the combination of clutch greatness and history with Bronny James was bigger than even Jordan’s most famous argument.

Nick Wright says LeBron James moment tops Michael Jordan’s rings

Wright made his stance clear on X, tying LeBron’s Game 3 heroics directly into the GOAT debate.

“Hitting the playoff game tying 3 to force OT in the same game you threw an alley oop to your literal son is more impressive in and of itself than 6 rings,” Wright stated.

It is the kind of take only Wright would deliver with that level of confidence. Jordan’s six championships have long been the cleanest argument for his GOAT case, but Wright is leaning into something different entirely.

His point is not about matching resumes line by line. It is about the uniqueness of what LeBron is doing at this stage of his career, still deciding playoff games while also sharing the floor with his son.
