Beto O’Rourke Says LeBron James is the GOAT, Not Michael Jordan

Former congressman from Texas and Democratic Presidential Candidate Robert Francis “Beto” O’Rourke shared his opinion on the GOAT debate.

According to O’Rourke, LeBron is the greatest basketball player in the entire NBA history.

It’s interesting to note that LeBron considers himself the GOAT.

“That one right there made me the greatest player of all time … that’s what I felt. I was super, super ecstatic to win one for Cleveland because of the 52-year drought. … The first wave of emotion was when everyone saw me crying, like, that was all for 52 years of everything in sports that’s gone on in Cleveland. And then after I stopped, I was like — that one right there made you the greatest player of all time,” King James told Maverick Carter, Randy Mims and Rich Paul during an episode of “More Than An Athlete.”

“Everybody was just talking — how the Warriors were the greatest team of all time, like it was the greatest team ever assembled. And for us to come back, you know, the way we came back in that fashion, I was like, ‘You did, you did something special.’ That’s probably one of the only times in my career I felt like, oh, s—, like you did something special. I haven’t had, really had time, to really, like, sit back and think, but that … that was a moment.”

It’s even more interesting that Kareem Abdul-Jabbar shares the same opinion.

“He’s already shown he’s still the complete player that the Lakers wanted so I don’t think he needs to worry about that,” Abdul-Jabbar said during a phone interview while attending the grand opening of NBA Experience at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida. “They just needed to put the right pieces in place around him. You can’t win a world championship with just one elite player. You need some help and I think he has that now.”

LeBron enters his 17^th season with the Los Angeles Lakers, and this season will be huge for him and the team. Hopefully, the king of basketball won’t miss the playoffs again. Game on, King James.
