The comparisons between LeBron James and Ben Simmons have been around seemingly ever since Simmons burst onto the basketball scene when he was a youngster.
Those comparisons were made even louder when James and Simmons themselves leaned into them, with LeBron James calling him the “Young King” and the “Fresh Prince” over the years.
Simmons, of course, is also represented by Klutch Sports.
But one person who has seen both of them up close believes the comparisons are unfair to Simmons, 76ers guard Danny Green.
I see why there’s a comparison. Obviously, LeBron is one of the greatest to ever do it and Ben has the potential given the size, ability, and speed, but it’s unfair, Danny Green told reporters.
It’s unfair to compare anybody to LeBron or compare anybody to Michael Jordan, especially at a young age, Danny Green told reporters.
Ben is still learning the game and he’s still very good, but he still has a long way to go if he wants to be in that realm, Danny Green told reporters.
This is an unfair comparison for anybody let alone Ben, but he has the tools and the potential to be that, Danny Green told reporters
