The Rookie Plays It Safe With MJ v. LeBron Debate

Illinois fans, of course, know the only correct answer. Around here, Jordan is the GOAT without question. However, Loveland, a young player from Idaho, likely grew up watching LeBron highlights more than he ever saw Jordan dominate the NBA with the Chicago Bulls.

Colston Loveland: "Yeah....next question. Both great players."

That is fine. Bears fans care about one thing: winning.

In the End, Bears Fans Only Care About This

If Loveland lives up to the hype that made him a first-round pick, his opinion on basketball royalty will not matter one bit. Loveland can choose LeBron, MJ, or Bugs Bunny for all we care, just as long as they win us a Super Bowl.
