Hardly anyone would disagree with the fact that both Michael Jordan and LeBron James are two of the greatest players to ever grace the hardwood. Both of them displayed such kinds of plays over the years that in turn made fans compare them on multiple occasions. The G.O.A.T. debate over the two champions of the game is a routine part of fans’ lives now. Recently, the Creed III actors Jonathan Majors and Michael B Jordan debated who is the greatest player of all time between His Airness and The Chosen One, days after their film broke multiple box office records.

Creed III, directed by Michael B Jordan is a sports drama film that hit the screen on March 3, 2023. From having the biggest opening of all RockyCreed Movies to having the biggest opening weekend box office for a sports movie, the movie broke many such box office records just within a couple of days of its release. As of now, the movie has made more than $100 million worldwide.

The media and entertainment company, Complex Network shared a video on their official Youtube handle where Majors and Jordan could be seen crowning their all-time greats. In one instance, both of them had to pick their GOAT athlete. Majors said he have a whole theory on the said topic and therefore asked Jordan to go ahead and answer.

The now 36-year-old actor was initially confused as stated that he had to think across every sport but eventually gave his answer. He said, “I’m gonna say LeBron James.” He further stated the reasons behind choosing King James as the GOAT. The Fruitvale Station actor stayed firm on his decision and even asked his co-actor to oppose it.

In reply, Majors said, “I might have to fight you bro…this is just undisputed for me. I just got to go with Michael Jordan.” Subsequently, he proceeded to take MJ’s name so many times that his fellow actor had to move on to the next topic: GOAT Rapper. However, the Hostiles actor took the name of six-time champion once again even after being asked who is the greatest rapper of all time.

Both of them did pick their best player but Majors taking the name of His Airness so many times showcased how much he meant his answer. Incidentally, they are not the first ones to lock horns over the two champions as many stars and players previously picked their favorite between them.
