While the NBA debate over LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan rages on, former Portland Trail Blazers star Damon Stoudamire refuses to take a side. Instead, he offers a unique perspective: they're different players in different eras, making comparisons futile.

Stoudamire understands the allure of the debate, acknowledging the contrasting eras and the distinct strengths of both icons. However, he emphasizes the futility of comparing players across vastly different basketball landscapes. "They different players," he says, "I just think it's different eras of basketball. Every era changes."

While he avoids picking a GOAT, Stoudamire does offer a surprising opinion on LeBron's ability to adapt. When asked if LeBron could handle the 90s physicality, Stoudamire confidently states, "Easily." He cites LeBron's impressive physique and athleticism as assets that would translate well to any era. This opinion challenges the common perception of LeBron as a player who wouldn't thrive in the rough-and-tumble 90s.

Stoudamire's stance on the GOAT debate is refreshing. Instead of fueling the fire, he proposes a nuanced perspective that acknowledges the unique strengths and challenges of each player's era. His willingness to break free from the binary choice of LeBron or MJ and focus on the broader context of basketball history is a valuable contribution to the conversation.
