Draymond Green’s take on LeBron James as greater than Michael Jordan sharpens the GOAT debate by praising James’ ability to win with a limited supporting cast, citing Matthew Dellavedova as an example. The discussion contrasts James’ string of Finals runs against Jordan’s era, framed by the Warriors’ peak from 2015–2018.

Counterpoints highlight the quality of James’ supporting casts across Cleveland, Miami, and L.A.—Wade, Bosh, Irving, Love, Davis—versus Jordan’s surrounding cohort. The piece also notes Luka Dončić as a modern factor in the debate, underscoring how era and roster depth shape the GOAT conversation. The argument remains nuanced and data-rich, not settled.

Finland punched a EuroBasket Final Four bid behind Lauri Markkanen, who dropped 17 points on 7-of-12 and buried 5-of-7 from long range while grabbing six boards. A standout assist to Miikka Muurinen and Elias Valtonen’s timely shot-making sealed a 93-79 win over Georgia.

Germany awaits in a tougher test, with a medal within reach for the Finns. For fantasy fans, Markkanen’s international volume and shooting rhythm suggest continued relevance beyond the NBA season, especially in tournaments that favor floor spacing and high-usage stars.
