LeBron James says he would pick himself first in GOAT debate
LeBron James stated he would not rank any other player above himself when asked about the basketball greatest-of-all-time discussion. He also addressed comparisons to Michael Jordan and his future playing plans.
nypost.comLeBron James said he would select himself over any other player if a general manager held the top draft pick among all-time greats. "I'm not taking nobody over me," James told Time.
Influence and career outlook James said people who grew up during Jordan's era would still name Jordan as the greatest, while those from his own era would do the same. He declined to compare his influence directly to Jordan's. "My journey is my journey," he said.
" James, a four-time NBA champion and the league's all-time leading scorer, becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer. He said his decision to play a potential 24th season or retire depends on whether he remains motivated by game preparation. "When I'm not in love with getting to the arenas on game days five hours before to start my preparation...
then I know I'll be done," he said.
