In the minds of many observers, LeBron James is fighting with Michael Jordan for the title of GOAT in the NBA. But for a former Lakers player, the debate wouldn’t even exist, since he has just placed the King at the bottom of his all-time Top 10!

By winning the first In-Season Tournament in history, as well as the MVP of the competition, LeBron James added two great lines to his immense record. If we also take into account the title of best scorer in history won last year, we obtain a player who has serious arguments in the race for the honorary status of GOAT.

For several seasons, this title has been played out between him and Michael Jordan , who maintains a small lead in the minds of many observers. But for former Lakers Metta World Peace, the gap would actually be abysmal between them. On his Twitter account, he just explained why he only put LeBron in 9th place:

Metta World Peace not convinced by LeBron

1) Michael Jordan – 6 rings, 9 scoring titles, Defender of the Year

9) LeBron James – Will become #1 once he retires
For Metta World Peace, LeBron James would currently be 9th in the race for the honorary title of GOAT, behind Stephen Curry ! He justifies this by the fact that the leader managed to win all his titles in the same franchise, while the King had to travel to the four corners of the United States to reach posterity. On the other hand, once retired, LeBron would be destined to go number 1…

But why would he have the right to climb and overtake Michael Jordan at the top of the hierarchy, but not the Chief, who is also active? And then, why is Wilt Chamberlain second, even though he does not have a track record comparable to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Bill Russell, both individually and collectively? So many questions that make Internet users think:

Now I’m convinced you’re drawing names randomly out of a hat.

For Metta World Peace, LeBron James would be 9th in the GOAT rankings, but he will move to No. 1 upon his retirement. An opinion that fans found difficult to accept and difficult to understand. It must be said that it has been going strong in recent weeks.
