The GOAT debate always has been a heated topic in NBA circles. Both James and Jordan have been the greatest competitors of their era. Michael has won six championship rings, while LeBron has four so far under his belt.

The GOAT debate has not been restricted to the confinements of the basketball courts. Michael Jordan was the only billionaire ever in the NBA. LeBron became the second billionaire NBA star, but he managed to do it while being active in the league.
