LeBron James: Meeting Michael Jordan Was Like Meeting God

Per ESPN’s Dave McMenamin:

“It was godly, I’ve said that over and over before, but it was like meeting God for the first time. That’s what I felt like as a 16-year-old kid when I met MJ.

MJ made the game global. He made the game global. He made people all over the world want to watch the game of basketball because of his marketability, because of the way he played the game of basketball, because of who he was. He kind of transcended that era.”

Both were the most dominant players in their respective eras.
