Whether it is the stars in the NBA or the stars of tomorrow playing the NCAA Basketball tournament, everyone likes to give their opinions on who the basketball GOAT is. In a resurfaced video, one of the stars of March Madness is seen talking about LeBron James and how he is the greatest, much to the dismay of Michael Jordan fans.

According to the Duke forward, Paolo Banchero, Kobe Bryant, and Kevin Durant come nowhere close to LeBron in anything else other than shooting. Interestingly enough, Banchero does not talk about Jordan, which has shocked fans on Twitter.

March Madness star praises LeBron James

There is no denying LeBron James is one of the greatest players of all time. He has won the NBA title 4 times among various other individual accolades and is still bossing the league in his 19th year. While many feel LeBron is the greatest ever, some people feel otherwise.

Various analysts and fans worldwide feel that the Chicago Bulls legend Michael Jordan is the GOAT. Due to his attitude and winning mentality, he led the team to 6 NBA titles and established himself as one of the greats.

In a resurfaced video, a teenage basketball sensation talks about the greatest player ever, which has caused some controversy. According to Paolo Banchero of Duke, nobody comes near LeBron. He talks about Kobe Bryant and Kevin Durant while praising LeBron, but does not talk about MJ.

He said, ” LeBron James, coz he is the greatest all-round player, like ever. There’s nobody even close. People say Kevin Durant better, Kobe better, Kevin Durant don’t do nothing better than LeBron besides shoot. Kobe, he don’t do nothing better than LeBron, besides shoot. So, LeBron is the GOAT.”

Furthermore, he addressed all the air around him on Twitter last year talking about how he was just having a fanboy moment for his GOAT.

Although he might have caused some controversy off the court, Banchero is proving his haters wrong on the court. He averages 17.0 points, 7.9 rebounds, and 3.2 assists this season. Thanks to his numbers and play, he is one of the top talents looking to make it into the NBA.
