Isiah Thomas has seen a lot of great players over his 59 years on earth, many of which he has played against.
Earlier today, in a rather unexpected post on Twitter, he revealed which of them he believes to be the greatest of All-Time. Spoiler: it’s LeBron.

In the past, Thomas has always regarded Jordan as the GOAT and it makes a lot of sense. Having met in multiple playoff series, I.T. got to witness MJ’s greatest first-hand, even if the two players didn’t always like each other.
Now, it seems the NBA legend has changed his mind. Through 17 seasons, LeBron James has put on an amazing display of dominance, making 16 All-Star appearances and 16 All-NBA teams. He is also a 4x MVP winner and 2x Olympic gold medalist.
And as he stands on the cusp of his fourth Championship win, his case for the GOAT status has never been stronger — and people are taking notice.
