The 2023 NBA draft is just whiskers away and the French Freak talent, Victor Wembanyama, might be the number one pick. However, believing recent reports, it’s the second pick that’s getting traction. The second pick choice lies between Scoot Henderson and Brandon Miller. To choose, Hornets hosted a workout for both talents, and according to reports, Michael Jordan is leaning toward the Alabama forward. Jordan’s recent admission over LeBron James has fans questioning his basketball savvy.

Whether he got the question confused or it was an honest answer is still unknown. But even before making it to the NBA, Miller is becoming a magnet of criticism.

Projected number two pick makes a shocking LeBron James admission

Dream of becoming an NBA player is probably just moments away from Brandon Miller. The 20-year-old took the scouts by storm in his single year playing for the Alabama Crimson Tide. The 6’9″ forward is a versatile player with an innate ability to score the ball. He turned heads with his gifted shooting and offensive mind.

Miller sat down for an interview before the NBA draft. The reporter jumped straight to the juicy parts – who according to Miller, is the ultimate GOAT? Everyone expected him to answer either LeBron James or Michael Jordan, the two popular choices in the conversation. While he did mention The King, his response was out of the ordinary.

“I actually don’t think LeBron is the GOAT of basketball. My GOAT of basketball is Paul George,” said the projected number two pick.

It’s an astonishing confession by Brandon Miller. Not only did he completely ignore Jordan, who has a high say in him as the draft pick, but his answer was unusually unique.

PG13 is certainly among the top echelon of players in the NBA. The two-way slasher has established himself as a crafty force who can make a vast impact. But as far as the GOAT qualification is concerned, the LA Clippers forward is yet to collect major accolades.

George has never won an MVP or any prestigious award, or win any NBA titles yet. There’s a high probability Miller mistakenly spoke about his favorite player. But, the 20-year-old values being an effective defender.

NBA fans roast Brandon Miller over his GOAT pick

Miller equally puzzled fans picking Paul George as his GOAT. Many question his ‘ball knowledge’. Some even felt his stock value should drop purely based on him picking George over LeBron James. Fans said-

“This take should drop him out of the 1st round”

“Next Gen of NBA stars is doomed”

“He needs to go down in the draft boards after this” 

Some fans couldn’t comprehend Miller’s deduction. They felt his answer was proof he wouldn’t pass the NBA’s drug test.

“We need a drug test right away”

“well we know bro is failing his first NBA drug test. ”
