6-ft NBA Legend Who Put Michael Jordan on Skates, Crosses Him Over Yet Again for LeBron James in the GOAT Debate: “Man, LeBron Is the Real Dawg”
Follow Us
The debate for the greatest player of all time is an unending one. While names get added or removed from the list for top contenders, two names have been constant for a while now. LeBron James and Michael Jordan. MJ and James have revolutionized the game in their eras in their own unique ways. MJ came at a time when the game wasn’t as popular, and he took it globally using his almost godly-like display of skills and abilities.
LeBron James on the other hand is arguably the synonym of consistency, having played well over such a long period of time. He even adapts himself to the changes in the game as they come. The debate has always been the most bitter between these two legends with their fans almost always in conflict. However, a recent comment by another NBA legend may just turn the balance in one player’s favor.

The statement made by AI was – “As much as I love Michael Jordan. Man, LeBron James is the one, dawg.” This perhaps changes the dynamics of the GOAT debate altogether. A legend like Allen Iverson, who is an MVP himself, calling James the one is a huge deal for fans. And this is not the first time that AI has gotten the better of Michael Jordan. He literally put him on skates once, after AI’s famous crossover against MJ in 1997.
NBA Twitter blew up following this comment by Allen Iverson. The comment was received in different ways by fans. Here are some of the best reactions from NBA Twitter:
This is why Lebron James is the greatest basketball player of all time

Lebron is just a little upgrade from Russell Westbrook. Statpad, hard dunks, unreliable midrange and a lil better at 3s. Not much to see there besides athleticismo.
