"Which is harder from the player's standpoint? Six championships, by all means," Jordan said during a press conference ahead of the NBA All-Star festivities, which will be hosted in Charlotte, N.C.

All joking aside, Jordan lauded the players for their accomplishments and said it shows how much talent the NBA has.

"It shows progression in the league," Jordan said. "I am very proud of how both guys have done because they are making a mark for the league, and I think it really helps grow the league."

Both Harden and Westbrook will be in Charlotte this weekend for the NBA All-Star Game.
