Magic Johnson once again addressed the ongoing GOAT debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

The NBA legend defended James, admitting the superstar of the Los Angeles Lakers has more pressure than Jordan had in his era.

“Michael (Jordan) didn’t have this type of pressure, I didn’t have this type of pressure, Larry Bird didn’t,” Johnson said, via Marc Stein of the New York Times.

James and the Lakers are one step away from winning the NBA title, as they lead the Finals series against the Miami Heat 3-1.

Game 5 is on Friday.
