Kevin Durant recently joined LeBron James on his Mind The Game podcast.
KD managed to bring up Michael Jordan in a subtle but effective way.
Durant, James and Steve Nash were discussing how different players handle the pressure of the NBA.
“Some say, ‘I want to go play baseball,'” Durant threw out.
LeBron could only laugh.
“Some people say “i want to go play baseball”, and some wanna play 22 straight”

Jordan, of course, famously left the Bulls after three NBA championships to go play baseball.
MJ signed with the Chicago White Sox organization, but he never made it past Double-A.
Jordan returned to the NBA and won three more titles.
Meanwhile, LeBron keeps going like clockwork, seemingly unaffected by the dilemmas of aging.
Both are legends of the game, but as KD points out, that’s a definite difference.
