NBA fans reacted to Ice Cube shooting down his viral LeBron James vs Michael Jordan debate. A post from @Hoops on X featured a quote from the rapper saying that the debate was a joke. Cube also said that James didn't stand a chance against Jordan, who represented real greatness, against LeBron, who changed teams to win the title.

Cube later reposted the post and denied that he had ever said that.

A fan said that Ice Cube had, in fact, made the comment.

"While we're on the subject, what are your thoughts on LeBron being compared to MJ?"

A fan said that Ice Cube was right about the debate.

"But at least it's the truth. Lol. The whole world knows the real goat is MJ."

LeBron James' 10-point historic feat comes to an end

LeBron James has held the unbreakable record for the most consecutive 10-point games in league history. He has not scored less than 10 points in a game since Jan. 5, 2007. However, that record came to an end on Thursday against the Toronto Raptors.

Before failing to score 10 points in the game, he had played a total of 1,297 consecutive regular-season games. On Tuesday, James scored just 8 points in the game and had one of the worst shooting nights of the season. He shot 4 of 16 from the field, including 0-5 shots from the 3-point line.

In a game when Luka Doncic was not playing, there was hope that LeBron James would have ample shot opportunities and perhaps he might show a glimpse of his old self. However, the night ended in disappointment for the star, but not the Lakers. The Lakers defeated the Raptors by 123-120.

There have been times, even in the last season, when James was on the verge of losing the streak, but he had managed to end the game with at least 10 points. This might show a side of an aging LeBron James. This might be a time when the four-time NBA champion might actually think about his retirement, because this certainly is a sign for a player of LeBron's caliber.
