Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James and Lakers legend Magic Johnson have recently met at an LA Chargers game.
Magic Johnson posted a photo of him and LeBron with a caption that will create another debate in today’s NBA.
In his post on Twitter, Magic said he was hanging out with ‘the greatest player in the game today’.

Many will disagree with Magic’s caption as most NBA fans claim that Kevin Durant is the best player in the NBA today with his amazing performance during the 2021 NBA playoffs.
In fact Lebron received zero vote for the ‘best NBA player’ from 10 NBA scouts and executives. The poll was a tie between Kevin Durant and 2021 Finals MVP Giannis Antetokounmpo. Stephen Curry, meanwhile, won the ESPY’s 2021 ‘Best NBA Player’ award.
Magic also retweeted LeBron’s post.
“Combined we have 19 NBA Finals appearances, 9 NBA Championships, 7 League MVPs and 7 Finals MVPs…crazy!”

LeBron has won four MVPs, four Final MVPs while Magic had three MVP trophies and three Final MVPs. Magic has a better record in the Finals winning five of his nine appearances while LeBron holds a 4-6 win-loss record.
Magic had a short NBA career playing just thirteen seasons in the league while LeBron is still playing at a high level on his 19th year in the NBA.
