Brandon Jennings: LeBron James runs too much ‘when s— gets tough’
Detroit Pistons point guard Brandon Jennings does not believe LeBron James can ever be considered the greatest basketball player of all time. One reason for that, according to Jennings, is that LeBron has never stuck it out with one team.
Jennings, who openly admits he loves a good debate, discussed LeBron’s legacy with an NBA blogger on Twitter Monday night.
@JohnnyNBA he run too much when shit gets tough. Never just stuck it out. Like MJ. Magic. Bird. Kobe.

While Jennings obviously deducts points from LeBron because he has jumped from team to team, he still said he would rank him as one of the greatest ever.
1. Magic 2. Mj. 3. Kobe 4. Tim 5. Bird 6. Big O 7. Wilt 8. Lebron 9. Shaq 10. Idk. No order though

“@peetearr: @BrandonJennings MVP this season?” Curry, Harden, Lebron.

It’s hard to disagree with Jennings, at least at the moment. LeBron has won only two championships. He’s probably not going to catch guys like Jordan and Magic, so the one thing he can do is work to straighten out this situation and win a ring for Cleveland. Will he be considered the best ever if he does that? Probably not.
