Former MLB veteran Jerry Hairston Jr. slammed Colin Cowherd’s argument for picking LeBron James as the greatest of all time over Michael Jordan. Cowherd’s opinion was based on longevity. He used a “Law & Order” analogy in a segment on his podcast, “Herd w/Colin Cowherd,” during Thursday’s episode.

“Michael Jordan was more like Seinfeld — 9 great years, highly impactful and still discussed today. LeBron’s become Law & Order. We’re on year 35. I watched an episode two days ago, it still crushes,” Cowherd said.

Cowherd’s comments were fueled by 39-year-old James recording a third-straight triple-double on Wednesday against the Grizzlies, breaking his own record from five years ago as the oldest player to achieve the feat.

However, Hairston Jr. came up with an MLB analogy, referencing career comparisons of Pete Rose and Ted Williams to counter Cowherd’s GOAT argument.

“Pete Rose has more hits than Ted Williams. No one in baseball thinks Rose was a better hitter than Williams. Longevity is nice but no reasonable person uses it as a deciding factor on who was better. #SMH”

Rose played 24 seasons and connected on 4,256 hits with a .303 batting average. Meanwhile, Williams played 19 seasons and had 2,564 hits with a .344 batting average.

The comparison checks out for LeBron James and Michael Jordan’s contrasting careers. The Lakers star is in year 22 and has numerous individual records, including the NBA’s all-time scoring record and a top 10 ranking in assists. He has four titles, four league MVPs and four finals MVPs.

On the other hand, Jordan had six titles, five MVPs and six finals MVPs in 15 seasons. He also won the Defensive Player of the Year, which James never did. Jordan also leads the league in points per game all-time, averaging 30.1.
