LeBron James Fan Kylian Mbappe Snubbed NBA Duo Kevin Durant and Kawhi Leonard For Lakers Legend Despite His Age Back in 2019

Greatness knows no age. Michael Jordan was 35 when he won his 6th Championship and Finals MVP. Lionel Messi is 35 years old and just won a FIFA World Cup. However, how there is no maximum age for greatness, and there is no minimum age too. Lionel Messi won his first Ballon d’Or when he was just 22, and 24-year-old Kylian Mbappe is no different. The guy single-handedly almost won the Qatar World Cup in France. Back in 2019, he had to face a question about LeBron James that most fans would find difficult to answer.

Back in 2019, LeBron James was putting up monstrous performances but, the Lakers were far from even considered for Championship. It was that era when talking about Championship without naming Golden State Warriors was basketball blasphemy. However, in 2019, the golden dynasty would come crumbling down.

LeBron James, Kawhi Leonard, or Kevin Durant

French soccer prodigy appeared in the ESPN show Now or Never in 2019. He answered many hot debates at the time but, the most important one had to be about NBA greats playing in NBA at the time.

The Reporter asks Kylian Mbappe, “… if you are with Drake and you’re gonna pick one player Kawhi Leonard, Kevin Durant or LeBron. Who do you pick?” To which Mbappe didn’t even take a second to think and answered in a heartbeat, “Huh! LeBron“. The reporter doubled down and asked, “even at this age?” To which Mbappe said yes! almost instantly. He also chose Kevin Durant to be his 2nd pick.
