But who's better? The debate is hot now, as James is just five wins away from capturing his fourth NBA title and just 28 points away from passing MJ in career playoff points.
Iverson says James deserves to be on the basketball Mount Rushmore, but he can't ever put anyone over Jordan aka "Black Jesus," his childhood idol.
