The GOAT debate may never end, particularly because of Michael Jordan and LeBron James whose respective fans ardently defend the case. Legend among leaders and now coach of Luka Doncic at the Mavericks, Jason Kidd, however, came to provide his opinion on the subject recently. 

LeBron James or Michael Jordan? The King or His Airness? There are certainly other candidates, but these two men are clearly the favorites in the race for the best player of all time. It must be said that their individual and collective achievements clearly work in their favor, but this also makes them very difficult to decide between for fans, journalists and even other basketball players.

If the former Bulls fullback stands out with a bigger record, the Lakers winger is the biggest all-time scorer and his longevity allows him to unleash absolute craziness in his 21st season as a pro, while he will soon be 39 years old. As for his airs and opponents, we can only salute the exceptional career of the quadruple champion, like Jason Kidd at a press conference:

I think LeBron is going to end up as the greatest player to ever play the sport.

Let us point out that J-Kidd knows what he is talking about since having arrived in the NBA in 1994, he had the opportunity to meet Michael Jordan’s face for almost a decade until his retirement. And in 2011, he was the one who defended LBJ during the Finals between Dallas and Miami.

Jason Kidd decides in favor of LeBron for the GOAT

Second all-time in the number of assists and interceptions, the one who now takes care of the Mavericks of Luka Doncic therefore appreciates especially the journey of the Chosen One and if he is therefore perhaps not yet on the throne, this will certainly be the case once he has retired. An opinion that holds up perfectly and many fans of No. 6 have also validated these remarks:

He throws out facts like he did with assists

He played and coached against LBJ, listen to what the dude has to say

For Jason Kidd, it is LeBron James who will be the GOAT at the end of his immense career. If he manages to win a fifth title this year with the Lakers, the winger could in any case seriously strengthen his record. Even if he will always be missing a ring compared to Michael Jordan…
