Michael Jordan weighed in on LeBron James and the GOAT debate

We've never seen Jordan take the diplomatic route, but alas.

The greatest of all time debates in the NBA are probably the most tiresome debates you could possibly have.

There’s always that somebody that says it’s Michael Jordan. Then, you’ve got the person who is probably just barely old enough to buy a beer and doesn’t know what a Tamogatchi is who says it’s undeniably LeBron James.

Then you’ve got the old-head who inserts themselves into the conversation and says something wild like “do you even know what a sky hook is, young fella?” Calm down, grandpa.

Then, of course, you’ve got the Kobe stan who is literally the only person who could possibly think that Kobe Bryant is the greatest basketball player of all time.

Like I said, it’s a tiresome debate. I hate having it. Don’t ask me where I stand.

Apparently, Michael Jordan didn’t feel like having the debate either. When he was asked about the comparisons between he and LeBron as the greatest players of all-time, he took the cop out route. You know the one.

That whole “they played in different eras so we can’t tell!” thing. Yup, he went there.

BOOOOOOOOO.

I expected way more out of Michael Jordan. He literally crafted his Hall of Fame speech around disparaging the opponents that he mopped the floor with for two decades one last time.

He couldn’t give us a little “oh, LeBron? TUH” or something? Jordan could do better.

In all honesty, this is probably the correct answer. But we don’t want the correct answer. We want Michael Jordan’s real answer. This doesn’t feel like that.

I know what we have to do. Next time, somebody just needs to straight up tell MJ that LeBron is better.

He’ll probably come out of retirement to try and prove it wrong.
