Jordan or LeBron? Notre Dame Football Debates

The GOAT – is it Jordan or LeBron? Kyle Hamilton and Coach Terry Joseph of Notre Dame football both weigh in.

Want to start a debate in a sports bar?  Well, when we’re allowed in bars again, I mean.

A couple of members of Notre Dame’s football team debated exactly that in the wake of “The Last Dance” that recently wrapped up on ESPN.  The older generations got to re-live the dominance of the nineties with the Chicago Bulls while the younger audience got to experience it for the first time.

Those generational stereotypes play out in the latest episode of “The Notre Dame Minute” as star defensive back Kyle Hamilton and defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joesph debated who the actual GOAT is.

As the documentary goes into detail about it wasn’t just ability with Jordan, it was the constant mindset he was in, always wanting to beat anyone at anything.  There was no easy way out or bailing on a team to join a trifecta of All-Stars.

If Draymond Green never goes complete headcase and uses his foot as a weapon in the 2016 NBA Finals, Golden State finishes off that series and the discussion is instead about the greatest team of all-time, not the player.  Hopefully James sends Green a Christmas card each year to thank him for how much he helped LeBron’s legacy.

Give the win to Joseph and Jordan.

Latest Notre Dame Minute: Harrison Smith Watch and Recap

It’s a creative way to try and use in recruiting nationally is what the “Notre Dame Minute” is being used for.  I have no problems with that, especially if you’re trying to win commitments from teenagers who can’t travel to college campuses right now because of a pandemic.

The latest Notre Dame Minute is up and features one of the best Notre Dame players to put on an NFL uniform the last few decades, former Fighting Irish safety and current Minnesota Viking, Harrison Smith.

Smith joins recruiting and special teams coordinator Brian Polian for 2:14 to discuss choosing Notre Dame despite being from the heart of SEC Country.

“Hey, you’re 16 or 17 and from the southeast and want to play in the NFL one day?  Well, the SEC is cool and all but here’s a guy from a town home to an actual SEC school that went to Notre Dame and has earned over $44 million playing in the NFL!”

Seems easy enough for me, although I would have liked to know more about Smith’s dogs.

Also, speaking of the man, Smith went to each of the last five Pro Bowls and was a 2017 All-NFL first team selection.  I thought he was deserving of NFL All-Decade team consideration last week but that wasn’t meant to be.
