We hear many speculations and rumors whenever two of the biggest names in the NBA ever are in the same sentence. LeBron James and Michael Jordan. Two players who at the peak of their powers were unstoppable, better than everybody else, and in fact literally invincible.

There have been many people who think that it was LeBron’s success with the Cavaliers in his second stint with them that influenced MJ to go through with his documentary.

“Many people believe that the reason that Michael Jordan decided to commission the making of the last dance documentary was after LeBron James beat the warriors. I think it was in the 2015-2016 NBA finals. I think a lot of people felt at the time that Jordan wanted to put that out to sort of ingratiate the younger generation with who he really was and to a certain extent I believe it.”
