The position of the first scorer in the NBA was “surrendered” by Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to LeBron James a few days ago and the dilemma for him GOAT with michael jordan it’s… flared up again.
Thus, the 75-year-old NBA legend couldn’t help but take a position on the following question and in his statements, he emphasized that LeBron is the best player of his time but Michael Jordan managed to capture the imagination of the world.
“I think the whole GOAT debate is hard to pin down. Who in here has seen Nat Clifton play? Most don’t. But it’s back to the 50s without the 24-gauge. The different seasons in the game, the addition of the timer, the three-pointer, there are different seasons.
LeBron is definitely the best player of his era. There are some who dominated the game and others who captured the imagination of the world. That’s what Michael Jordan did. Everyone wants to be him, to achieve what he did” were the words of the Lakers legend.
