One of the biggest debates in the basketball community has to do with whoâs the greatest player of all time. For many, the NBA GOAT is Michael Jordan, but others believe thatâs LeBron James.
It makes sense that the conversation often revolves around them, since MJ led one of the greatest dynasties in sports in Chicago while The King won rings with three different teams.
But of course, you will always find those who think differently and pick other players above them. Kevin Garnett, for instance, snubbed both Jordan and LeBron from his all-time starting five.

âI am the one. I have got AI at my two. Iâm gonna play Kobe at the three. Iâm gonna throw everybody for a loop with this one, Iâm gonna go Wilt and Bill Russell at my four and five. Bill Russell will guard Shaq and imma put Wilt on Kareem,â the Boston Celtics legend said on the KG Certified podcast of Showtime.
