‘We don’t talk’: LeBron James discusses relationship with Michael Jordan, later hits buzzer-beater to halt Lakers losing skid

  • On Wednesday, March 26, LeBron James admitted on "The Pat McAfee Show" that he doesn't speak often with Michael Jordan, referencing a competitive streak that prevents regular communication while both are actively playing.
  • This admission came hours before James led the Los Angeles Lakers to a 120-119 victory against the Indiana Pacers in Indianapolis, ending their three-game losing streak.
  • James hopes to develop a relationship with Jordan similar to the bond he formed with Kobe Bryant, which grew stronger after Bryant retired and James joined the Lakers.
  • James, who wears number 23 because of Jordan, recalled Jordan tweeting "Keep transcending the game. Keep going." after James passed him for the NBA's all-time scoring record, which meant a lot to him.
  • Despite entering the fourth quarter with only three points, James finished the game with 13 points and seven assists, securing the win with a dramatic tip-in buzzer-beater after Luka Don i's shot hit the rim, moving the Lakers level with the Memphis Grizzlies for fourth in the Western Conference.
