It takes up to four years to lead the weak team to lead the weak team into the finals

Recently, Draymond Green supported LeBron when talking about the best battle between LeBron James and Michael Jordan in Kai Cenat's live broadcast. He said: "People always say that JR Smith can't win, he can't do this or that, but James thinks JR Smith can. He can shoot and defend, and he thinks the two can achieve something. I don't think many teammates have experienced this. Jordan has Pippen, but LeBron once won with players like Matthew Delavedova... That guy really can't do it, there is no disrespect. "Green believes that LeBron leads a lineup with insufficient talent such as the Cavaliers to the Finals in 2015, showing unparalleled comprehensiveness and leadership, which is better than Jordan, who always has Pippen.
