ESPN, the sports television channel, recently released a documentary called "The Last Dance." It is about Michael Jordan and the Chicago Bulls' sixth championship season in 1998. It has restarted the debate about who is the greatest basketball player of all time.

Is it Michael Jordan or LeBron James?

Some look to the number of National Basketball Association, also called the NBA, championships each of the players has won. Jordan won six, and James has won three.

This is not the only measure of greatness, though. If the number of championship rings settled the question, the greatest player of all time would be Bill Russell. In his 13 seasons in the NBA, from 1956 to 1968, Russell led the Boston Celtics to an amazing 11 titles.

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. Russell, however, is not generally considered the greatest player of all time. The 6-foot-10-inch center was a fabulous rebounder and incredible on defense. He was not a great player on offense, though.

Superstars Can Do It All

The greatest-of-all-time debate often settles on Jordan and James because of their all-around talents. The two superstars can do it all on the court.

Take a look at the numbers.

Jordan was a better scorer than James is. Jordan scored 30.1 points per game. James averages 27.1 points per game.

James is a better rebounder and playmaker than Jordan. James has averaged 7.4 rebounds a game and 7.4 assists. Jordan averaged 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists.

James is an amazing passer. He has led his team in total assists in every season during his 17 years in the NBA. At 35 years old, James was leading the league with more than 10 assists a game when the coronavirus pandemic closed down the NBA.

Rare Skill

Basketball is a team game. James has the rare skill to make his teammates better.

Sometimes fans think Jordan won those six NBA championships by himself. Scottie Pippen, Jordan's teammate for all six titles, helped a lot. For example, Pippen played well during the Bulls' first championship playoff in 1991. Pippen averaged 21.6 points, 8.9 rebounds and 5.8 assists in the playoffs.

Jordan took off the 1993-1994 season to play baseball. The Bulls team was still so good that Chicago won only two fewer games during the regular season.

James, on the other hand, led the Cleveland Cavaliers to the NBA Finals in 2007 at the age of 22. His teammates were not as skilled as Scottie Pippen was.

Having to pick between Jordan and James is not easy. It is like trying to choose between chocolate chip cookie dough and mocha chip ice cream. They are both great.

But if I have to choose, I'll pick James. And mocha chip.

Russell, however, is not generally considered the greatest player of all time. The 6-foot-10-inch center was a fabulous rebounder and incredible on defense. He was not a great player on offense, though.

How does this support the author's idea that championship wins are not the only measure of a player's greatness?

(A) It illustrates that Russell did not deserve to win as many championships as he did.

The stimulus checks are issued by the U.S. government’s Internal Revenue Service to help combat the adverse effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. Many Americans have decided to share their checks with people and organizations that need the help. Photo: Eric Gay/AP Photo

Jennifer Guy had just gotten a job in February. She was a hairdresser. Then, she lost the job three weeks later. Many businesses in Pennsylvania closed because of COVID-19.

COVID-19, also called coronavirus, is a new virus that emerged in December 2019. It has since spread around the globe. There is no treatment yet so governments have closed many restaurants, businesses and schools to slow the spread of the virus. Millions of people have lost their jobs because of this.

Guy did not qualify for unemployment benefits. Unemployment benefits are temporary benefits, including money, that the government provides when a person loses their job.

Facebook Support Group

Guy needed help supporting her family. She came across a Facebook group called the Stimulus Check Exchange support group.

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. In April, the U.S. government began sending all tax-paying Americans a stimulus check. The payment is supposed to help support people during this time. Some people do not qualify, though.

Guy did not qualify for a stimulus check. She said the Facebook group seemed kind, so she posted about her struggle. Two days later, a stranger sent her $250 in the mail.

"I really was starting to lose hope," says Guy. She says she used the money for rent and food. She also bought each of her children a book.

Many people have lost their jobs and are fearful because of the coronavirus. Many Americans plan to give their stimulus checks to people in need.

"This is not my money, this is our collective money," says the Reverend Tamara Torres McGovern. She helped start the #PledgeMyStimulus campaign in Portland, Maine. The campaign is asking people to give their money to organizations that need support. So far, 151 people have pledged more than $122,000.

The coronavirus pandemic has closed many U.S. businesses. More than 33 million Americans have lost their jobs since March.

The government passed its Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act in March. The Act provides single payments of up to $1,200 for every taxpayer.

Not Everyone Benefits

Not everyone benefits, though. The law does not include immigrants who are here in the United States without government permission. Many of these immigrants work "essential" jobs, such as in grocery stores. In response, an online campaign has raised more than half a million dollars for immigrant families around Washington, D.C.

Hundreds of educators in California are giving their money to support immigrant workers. A man in Boise, Idaho, gave his check to a local food bank and others did the same. An Alabama math teacher paid three students' utility bills.

Una Osili helps run the school of philanthropy at Indiana University.

"The silver lining really has been the outpouring of generosity and support," Osili said.

Philanthropy, or organized giving, has been "part of America's fabric from the very beginning," says Osili. She said the U.S. government does not have a lot of programs for those in need.

"Private philanthropy plays an important role," she said.

So far, evidence suggests most Americans are using their checks to pay for food and bills. A survey in April found about three out of every 100 American adults plan to donate money.

Increased Demand

More than 650 funds in the United States have been set up to support nonprofits during the pandemic. Nonprofits are organizations that are dedicated to social causes. Despite an increase in giving, the pandemic poses challenges to nonprofits. Many have an increased demand for services while having to follow social-distancing rules.

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. "Our workload has tripled, and not the funding," says Sarah Lewis. She helps run the Maine Access Immigrant Network (MAIN). MAIN helps refugees and immigrants get health care. Torres McGovern says many pledged their checks to MAIN through #PledgeMyStimulus.

One bright spot has been the donations through #PledgeMyStimulus.

"It brought tears to my eyes," said Lewis. "We're only as strong as our most vulnerable population. And if we don't lift everyone, who are we?"

In Pennsylvania, Susan O'Connor oversees her Stimulus Check Exchange Facebook group. Her group has helped 22 people like Guy.

"My goal was just to make connections," says O'Connor. She and her husband had planned to use their checks for themselves. Then, they had an idea.

"There are people so much worse off who are struggling," she says.

The pair bought a washer and dryer for a single mom. They plan to help another family fix their roof.

Torres McGovern says she and her spouse are putting half their checks toward various organizations.

"I believe that people at their core are basically good, and that given an opportunity to be generous, most people will choose to be generous," she says.

Image 1. (From left) Producer Renee Tajima-Peña, Tamlyn Tomita, Hari Kondabolu and producer and director Grace Lee of “Asian Americans” speak on January 10, 2020, in Pasadena, California. Photo: Amy Sussman/Getty Images

Daniel Dae Kim is an actor. He is also a child of immigrants. He didn't learn of his parents' difficult move to the United States until later in life. He was a teenager when they finally told him. Their story is similar to many of the stories highlighted in a new documentary series called "Asian Americans." The series has five parts. It aired on PBS starting on May 11.

Kim's parents told him they came to the United States from South Korea. They only had $200. Kim was 1 year old at the time. Eventually, the family built a life in Pennsylvania.

Actress Tamlyn Tomita grew up in California. Tomita was in high school when she learned about Japanese internment camps. During World War II, the U.S. government forcibly relocated 120,000 Japanese Americans. The government made them live in camps. The men, women and children were treated as enemies. However, they had done nothing wrong. This was a very painful experience for Japanese Americans.

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. After learning about the internment camps, Tomita went home and asked her father: Did this happen to you?

"He said, 'Yes,'" Tomita remembered. "I said, 'Why didn't you tell me?'"

Racism And Discrimination

As long as Asians have been in the United States they've helped shape its history. However, they have often been left out of the lessons taught in schools. Family histories often go unspoken by older generations who endured racism and discrimination.

"Asian Americans" aims to rewrite history. Kim and Tomita narrate the show. It highlights significant events in the history of Asian Americans. Asian American scholars, historians and artists help tell the story.

Filmmaker Renee Tajima-Peña helped make "Asian Americans." She says the series feels particularly important right now. There has been a growing anti- Asian attitude in America. Some people have been unfairly blaming Asians and Asian Americans for the coronavirus.

Tajima-Peña said that the series aimed to affirm the experiences of Asian Americans throughout history. She also said it was important to draw connections between Asian Americans and other communities.

The series finds parallels between the murders of Vincent Chin and Latasha Harlins. Chin was a Chinese-American man. He was mistaken as Japanese and killed by white men in Detroit, Michigan, in 1982. Harlins was a 15-year-old African American girl. She was killed by a Korean store owner in Los Angeles, California, in 1991. Her murder increased tensions between black and Korean communities in 1992.

Tajima-Peña said the recent killing of 25-year-old Georgia man Ahmaud Arbery deserves to be met with the same public outrage by all communities who have been victimized by scapegoating, racism and violence. On February 23, Arbery, who is black, was killed by two white men while jogging in a neighborhood.

Kim also sees parallels between Chin's and Arbery's stories. Two young men were murdered "for no other reason than the color of their skin," he said. Their deaths remind us "how far we have to go as a country."

For Kim, being Asian American "has been the source of some of my greatest pride, and greatest pain," he said. "It means having the benefits of two amazing cultures, and at times, feeling like you're a true member of neither."

This article is available at 5 reading levels at https://newsela.com. "Asian Americans" tells the story of Bhagat Singh Thind. He is a well-known Indian American writer. Thind fought for the United States during World War I. However, he was denied U.S. citizenship twice because he was not white.

Overlooked Contributions

The series also focuses on the many Chinese laborers who came to this country. These men worked hard to build America's railroads. Some even lost their lives. Yet, their contributions were mostly overlooked.

Tomita believes it is very important for young people to learn about the experiences of Asian Americans. She believes passing on the knowledge of what happened will help ensure it doesn't happen again.

Tajima-Peña said it was difficult to find historical visual materials for the show. For the most part, Asian Americans were not pictured in a lot of the historical documents she looked through.

Kim says it inspires and encourages him to learn about the battles fought and won by Asian Americans who came before him.

"Knowing they charted a path where there was none fuels the fire for me to believe in what's possible," he said. "The challenges they faced to pave the way for people like me should never be forgotten."
