"It's Bron because people threw the towel in on JR Smith. As talented as JR was, people threw the towel in on him... It's not just JR though. If you look at some of the guys that he had to lead... I don't think MJ had many guys that went through that.

Tylil chimed in and mentioned former Cleveland Cavaliers guard Matthew Dellavedova. Green added that although he respects Delly, he believes that the two-way guard "sucks." He used him as an example of how the four-time champion led a Cavaliers team with just one All-Star, Kevin Love.

"To win with guys like that, MJ wasn't winning with Matthew Dellavedova."

In the NBA Finals, Green and the Warriors enjoyed a 3-1 lead against the Cavaliers. However, James took charge of the series and turned the situation around to mount a comeback and win the NBA championship.
