While there is a never-ending debate as to who is the greatest basketball player of all time, Kobe Bryant, whose name is also in the discussion, thinks it’s best to just appreciate the greatness of each player without criticizing others.

Bryant, the Los Angeles Lakers legend, posted a tweet urging his followers to “enjoy” what LeBron James has been able to accomplish shortly after the Cleveland Cavaliers superstar carried the Cavs to their fourth straight NBA Finals appearance following a Game 7 win over the Boston Celtics on the road.

We can enjoy one without tearing down one. I love what he’s doing. Don’t debate what can’t be definitively won by anyone #enjoymy5 #enjoymj6 #enjoylbjquest

Bryant is referring to himself, who won five NBA titles, six-time NBA champion Michael Jordan and LeBron James, who just made his eighth straight NBA Finals appearance in his 15th season in the league.

The 33-year-old James has been on another tear in the postseason, averaging 34 points on 54 percent shooting from the field, 9.2 rebounds, 8.8 assists, 1.4 steals and 1.1 blocks per game.

James delivered anew in Game 7 with 35 points, 15 rebounds and nine assists in an 87-79 win over the Celtics, who were previously undefeated at home in this year’s playoffs.
