It’s fair to say that “The Last Dance” documentary reignited the GOAT conversation. As the world lies witness to all that Michael Jordan accomplished and the way in which he dominated his opponents, it’s becoming clear that we have yet to see anybody like him since his final retirement in 2003 — this is, until LeBron James.
The whole world was waiting to see how he would respond to yesterday’s debut, but the “King” has been silent on the whole thing so far. All we have to go on is the comment he made on Jordan before the highly-anticipated TLD release.

Bron seemed genuinely hyped about the doc and about MJ in general. Considering how the two have been pitted up against each other for years, one could consider it surprising that LeBron would have such a reaction.
When it comes to the GOAT debate, it’s no secret that James has been building up his case for years. As a 16x All-Star, 4x MVP, and 3x NBA Champion, Bron may be the closest anyone has ever come to reaching Jordan levels of greatness.
Since the first two episodes debuted, James has not made a comment. But it’s fair to say he was sitting back and taking it all in like the rest of us — amid the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s not really much else to do right now anyway.
