Map Shows Who Wins GOAT Debate Between LeBron James And Michael Jordan

The GOAT debate got pretty heated these days. ESPN added fuel to the fire with the release of the documentary on Michael Jordan’s life. Fans started commenting again, and we can’t just ignore the question. Who is the GOAT? Is LeBron James better than Michael Jordan?

The debate revolves around LeBron and Jordan. These two are considered the best players in the NBA history. Many would agree that this is the hottest topic these days. A Twitter account decided to make things easy for everyone, sharing a map.

Is LeBron James better than Michael Jordan

NBA analysts worked on geotagged Twitter data on 100,000 tweets from the past week. They wanted to know more about people’s opinion on the GOAT debate. Meredith Cash of Insider discussed the topic. It turns out that Jordan is favored over LeBron, and the margin is really little.

“Jordan narrowly edged out James, with 26 states favoring the Chicago Bulls legend over the Los Angeles Lakers superstar,” Cash wrote. “Twenty-four states — primarily located in the South and West — chose James, while Jumpman dominated the Northeast and, unsurprisingly, the Midwest.”

This happened right after the release of the first two episodes of the documentary. We know that the Bulls icon agreed to release video from his last year as a Chicago player.

This may be the best moment to release this map. We bet LeBron’s fans won’t like this. The map doesn’t cover those who don’t use Twitter, so fans will use that to slam the results.

The GOAT debate won’t end in the near future. Pretty much everyone has a different theory to explain. Some of Jordan’s teammates vote for LeBron. Some NBA legends say that LeBron can’t be compared to His Airness. LeBron considers himself the GOAT for the title he won with the Cavaliers. He did it with little to no help from his teammates. LeBron helps everyone play better, and that’s exactly what happened with every team he played on.

Let’s see how will things develop in the next few years. LeBron will prove everyone wrong. He will show the world that he is the best to ever play the game.
