NBA Fans Expose Shannon Sharpe And Nick Wright Saying Michael Jordan Was The GOAT 9 Years Ago

Shannon Sharpe and Nick Wright are probably the most notorious LeBron James defenders. The two analysts never hesitate to make a case for the King against Michael Jordan in the never-ending GOAT debate.

These conversations have become more common in recent years, but prior to that, these two were on the other side of the street, picking His Airness as the greatest to ever do it over any other player in league history.

In the aftermath of Sharpe claiming Kobe Bryant isn’t a top-5 NBA player, fans dug deep in his Twitter to find that not only he was very fond of Kobe but Jordan, too, labeling him the greatest baller of all time.

“G8est basketball players of alltime God, Air Jordan & Kobe in that order. #golakers” Shannon wrote in 2021.

Somebody else noticed that Nick Wright felt the same, putting MJ as the best player of all time ahead of Magic Johnson and Bill Russell.

Same with Nick Wright. He had Kobe top 5 and Lebron wasn’t even top 10 back in 2012 lol pic.twitter.com/GGkiZtSuWM

Fans reacted to this, calling out Sharpe not even for picking Jordan at that time. The thing is that he left Kobe Bryant out of his top 5 when nobody has even gotten to that level since 2012 other than LeBron James.

For the people say Bron hadn't won yet, it still doesn't explain how he went from having Kobe at 2 to not in the top 5. At the most he should've had Kobe at 3. This only proves that these shows are fake.

Nowadays, talk shows do everything to get views, and sometimes the disrespect is taken too far.
