There have been many players who have graced the NBA with their talents. But only two players out of them usually get consideration for the GOAT debate. The first is Michael Jordan, who most fans believe is the undisputed greatest player of all time.
If there is someone who has ever threatened MJ’s title as the GOAT, it’s none other than Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James. James will soon turn 38 years old and is still going strong in the league.
James is arguably the most hyped player to ever enter the NBA. Even before getting drafted into the NBA, most expected him to become one of the greatest players in NBA history.
For what it’s worth, James has lived up to the hype and has achieved a lot of great things in his career. Moreover, despite being a 37-year-old, he still has a lot of fuel left in his tank and might win at least one more NBA Championship before retiring.
Although most believe that not many say that LeBron is the GOAT, there are still plenty who support James’ case for being the GOAT.
Thanks to a fan on Twitter, today we will take a look at 37 players and coaches that have admitted they believe that James is the GOAT or he is at least the second best player of all time. With that being said, let’s take a look at the timeline posted by the fan on Twitter.
Before taking a look at that, we suggest you ignore the tweet that mentions Scottie Pippen saying that James is the GOAT. The Bulls legend later backtracked on his comments.

As it turns out, there are many greats of the game that believe LeBron James is indeed the GOAT. And even if they don’t believe he’s the GOAT, they at least believe that LBJ is second on the list.
With LeBron James signing a two-year extension with the Lakers recently, he will have an opportunity to increase his chances of being considered the GOAT by the majority of the NBA community.
