I’ve been in the league for 10 years and I’ve seen Bron(James) in so many different stages. I feel LeBron is the best we’ve ever seen… Talent wise… we don’t wanna get caught up in the chips and rings and all that stuff… just straight off the rip he’s the best player.

Nevertheless, GOAT debates are endless and always depend on one’s opinion, meaning it will always be controversial to pick one player between basketball greats.

LeBron(James) is the most talented and gifted player we have ever seen. He is the best player of all time. But the greatest player of all time is Michael Jordan. This is because of the way he changed the game and his clutch factor is unbelievable.

The number of NBA titles won by Jordan is the one factor that unquestionably gives him the advantage over James. James has four titles to his name while Jordan has six along with an incredible 6-0 record in the finals. On the other hand, James has a 4-6 record in the finals.
