Most young NBA fans wonāt hesitate to say that LeBron James is the greatest player of all time. Conversely, old-school fans will die on their hill with Michael Jordan as the undisputed GOAT.
Notably, most players in todayās game grew up looking up to LeBron, whoās been in the league for 21 years now. Thatās longer than some of them have been alive, and theyāre obviously starstruck when they get to know him.
Thatās why it was shocking to see that Luka Doncic, one of the leagueās youngest stars, didnāt hesitate to state that Michael Jordan ā not LeBron James ā was the best ever.
Luka Doncic Chooses MJ Over LeBron
Of course, itās less surprising when you remember the fact that Doncic is a Jordan Brand athlete. MJ is quite the competitive guy, so he wouldnāt like to hear him say otherwise.
In reality, you couldnāt go wrong either way, and sometimes, it feels like this is just a futile and outdated debate. Theyāre different players from different eras and played different positions.

As for Doncic, he has the chance to at least enter the debate when itās all said and done. He needs to get over the hump in the playoffs, but his career numbers are already historically good.
