Here we go again! Another opinion has joined in on the GOAT Debate. Who is the greatest basketball player of all time between Michael Jordan and LeBron James? From basketball experts to masterminds of different sports have also joined into it. While one supports MJ, the other roots for King James. Sometimes, the debate gets too ugly. Recently, a football player was asked to share his opinion about the ongoing debate that has been going on for years now. The footballer wholly refused the debate. He stated that the debate has been going on for a long time. And it’s time people should accept it and move. But did he mention his stance on it?
In the latest episode of 2 Right Turns, Clemson Football Podcast with host Daja Davidson, Adam Randall made an appearance. He is the junior Wide receiver for the Clemson Tigers. The other two guests alongside him were Pat Richards, director of football athletic training, and Nick Yarid, director of equipment at Clemson Football.
When asked about the debate, Randall referred to Richards and said they discussed it for so long. He believes James is the best and greatest player, and people should debate now. “We might be arguing for the entire podcast. LeBron James is the greatest basketball player of all time and that’s just the end of the discussion so we can move on,” Randall said.

LeBron James’ latest feat that elevates him over Michael Jordan
It’s a never-ending discussion, just like the line of accolades James has acquired throughout his career in the NBA. Now, another feather has been added to his cap. The Los Angeles Lakers star has impressive statistical averages at the age of 39. While it’s really hard to maintain health and a career this age, James is proving everyone wrong. The Champ doesn’t have any plans to leave the NBA until his son enters the league.
As per reports, his stats averages are much more than the Chicago Bulls legend did at the same age. With 40,446 points, James is the leading scorer in the league. Despite being the oldest player, King James is performing at a level comparable to players in their prime.

At the same age, the Chicago Bulls legend averaged under 20 points, 6.1 rebounds, and 3.8 assists with the Washington Wizards during his brief stint from 2001 to 2003. On the other hand, the Lakers legend has averaged 25.7 points, 7.3 rebounds, and 8.3 assists, certainly with more impressive percentages than Jordan this regular season. Nevertheless, there are certain aspects where Jordan leads. What is your take on this? Let us know in the comments section below.
