LeBron James was ‘studying’ by watching Michael Jordan’s ‘The Last Dance’

Shortly after getting back home to Los Angeles, LeBron James was already back to work in his chase for greatness. It wasn’t any team he has faced in the playoffs or anything he was prepping for after a fourth title, but the legend of Michael Jordan LeBron James was focused on upon his return home after helping the Lakers win their 17th NBA Championship last Sunday.

The Lakers were recently doing something Jordan would have appreciated, celebrating their championship in Las Vegas with a private room for the team to celebrate. But before the Lakers had their title celebration outside of the bubble, James was already ‘studying’ Jordan by watching ‘The Last Dance’ once again.

James and the Lakers were dominant in the postseason, going 16-5 on their way to a championship. That record was by far the most dominant playoff team that LeBron James has led in his four NBA championships. With the Lakers in a position to get better next season, the debate about who is the Greatest of All-Time vs. Michael Jordan could get even more complicated.
