LeBron James Passing Michael Jordan Proves Lakers Star Has Ended GOAT Debate, Here’s Why

LeBron James passed Michael Jordan on the all-time scoring list, and some say this puts an end to the GOAT debate.

Is LeBron the GOAT?

The Los Angeles Lakers have a terrible season, and LeBron reached one of the greatest achievements in his professional career. He passed Jordan in the second quarter of the game against the Denver Nuggets. Jordan was probably watching the game, and he congratulated LeBron on his success.

This was LeBron’s greatest achievement. That’s how he sees things, because we could not just ignore the sight of him with tears in his eyes. LeBron and Jordan never shared the same court, but this did not stop people from talking about the duo.

LeBron must be proud of himself. He has more career points than his childhood hero. King James has a lot of time left, and he will sure hit a few more milestones.

“Any time I’m even mentioned with the greats that played this game and guys before me who laid the path, laid the grounds in this work and allowed me to be in this position, it’s always humbling and gratifying for my city,” he said. “Just knowing where I come from, some of you guys know where I come from that’s been there and some of you guys haven’t, but where I come from,there’s not many of us. It’s very limited. It’s very, very limited inspirations. Very limited resources. Very limited everything. So for me to be in this position where I’m at today, it’s just a blessing.”

For Shannon Sharpe, LeBron is the GOAT.

“LeBron is the GOAT,” he said. “The reason why I say Lebron James is the best is because I saw Michael Jordan win the title on a 57-win team Bulls, retire, and then they won 55 games. They were a horrible call away from getting to the Eastern Conference finals. I saw LeBron James leave Cleveland, they won the lottery. I saw LeBron James go to Miami, they go to the finals four straight times and win two. He leaves, and with two hall-of-fame players, they missed the play-offs.”
