Here's the ultimate hot take of the morning.

After LeBron James pulled his team into the NBA Finals, retired player and NBA TV commentator Isiah Thomas declared that he was a "much better basketball player" than Michael Jordan during an appearance on ESPN's 'Get Up'.

"What I'm witnessing in LeBron James is a complete basketball player dominating this period of time," he said, as Bulls fans likely threw things at their TV screen. "I haven't seen anyone else do that in our league with the exception of two people. That's Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell."
