  • A young fan claims that LeBron James is better than Michael Jordan
  • He then admitted that Michael Jordan was the better offensive player, a better defensive player, and more clutch than LeBron James
  • The fan still said LeBron James is the GOAT for a hilarious reason

Michael Jordan and LeBron James is the biggest GOAT debate in the NBA today, although most fans and people around the league think Michael Jordan is the best to ever do it. 

LeBron James has many fans that believe in his case, though, like one young fan who said during an interview, “I love what Jordan has done for the game, but LeBron is better.”

The interviewer then asked the kid who has more championships, who the better offensive player is, who’s won more DPOYs, and who is more clutch. Surprisingly, the fan admitted that Michael Jordan wins in all of those categories. 

Out of confusion, the interviewer asked him why LeBron is the GOAT in that case, and received a hilarious answer. 

The fan said: “Because look at LeBron. Like, the bald head and beard tie it together…Michael Jordan’s bald too, but does he have that giant beard?”

This is a hilarious answer, and it’s hard to argue with it because there is no real logic behind it. Unwittingly, this young fan has made the best point about the GOAT debate, which is that if someone believes something, they will use anything to justify it. 


Michael Jordan Is Still The NBA GOAT

Michael Jordan is very much the GOAT of the NBA even today, and even Magic Johnson thinks that LeBron James will never be able to surpass him. 

There is a Hall Of Fame career separating Michael Jordan and LeBron James, with the Bulls legend amassing two championships, two Finals MVPs, an MVP, and a Defensive Player Of The Year award more than LeBron James has managed. 

LeBron James has gotten closer after he broke the all-time scoring record, but there is a long way to go. 

He is turning 39 years old this year too, so it seems like it might be too late for him to catch Michael Jordan unless you believe that facial hair is what makes someone the GOAT.
