Recently, the actor appeared in an interview with DJ Vlad. Together with the host, the 48-year-old Aries Spears unraveled several facets of the film world, basketball, and more. Following this, Vlad initiated a conversation on who is the GOAT among two notable actors. Drawing a line between MJ and the $5.72 billion grossing actor, Spears said, “I would say Denzel is Jordan and Sam is LeBron,” He motioned his hands as if weighing Jordan’s abilities superior to James. Despite having numerous accolades for his performance, Samuel L. Jackson didn’t seem to get the comedian’s approval. Moreover, he went on to compare Denzel Washington, one of the greatest actors with Jordan. Washington is known for his extraordinary performance in ‘A Soldier’s Story,’ ‘Cry Freedom’ and more. His spectacular performance has also garnered consistent success at the box office. While Jackson is one of the highest-grossing actors, several of his films aren’t great. Nevertheless, their performances are equally engaging.

From the conversation, it looks like the comedian has clearly mentioned his favorite in the NBA as well as Hollywood. However, this is not the first time.

Did Aries Spears choose Michael Jordan over LeBron James?

Like Denzel vs. Samuel, the conversation between Jordan and LeBron James is also a never-ending one. Previously in an interview, Spears shared his take on the NBA GOAT debate. He shared, “I respect the man’s game, he’s (LeBron James) nice despite the many things I’ve said in poking fun, I respect him. You can’t not respect him. The man is one of the best, but he ain’t Jordan. Jordan’s the GOAT man, end of conversation.”

Even in the recent interview, when Vlad argued that some people consider the Lakers player James to be better than His Airness, Spears had the same response. He said, “Idiots exist.”
