The NBA’s GOAT debate has been a topic of conversation for a while. Some fans, players, and media personalities claim that Michael Jordan is the GOAT, whereas many players from the current generation believe LeBron James is the NBA’s GOAT. When you ask fans of Jordan, they’ll claim that MJ was 6-0 in the NBA Finals, and never let a Finals series get to a Game 7. Meanwhile LeBron fans will back him up in the GOAT conversations by saying that he was the “Chosen one,” coming out of high school, and delivered despite all the pressure from across the globe. The GOAT debate is a rabbit hole that never seems to end, but no matter where you rank these two individuals, one thing’s for sure; Both Jordan and James are one of the greatest players of all time. The GOAT debates are hypotheticals and we cannot really tell who’s the greater player as they played in different generations. <\/p>

However, recently, Michael Jordan’s agent, David Falk, made some comments critiquing LeBron James’ career, which fired up an immediate response from James’ agent, Rich Paul, adding more fuel to the GOAT debate. Let’s find out what happened.<\/p>
