He had an amazing rookie campaign and was averaging 20 points, 4.5 rebounds, and 4.1 assists. Bing earned the Rookie of the Year award and his next season was even better.

Dave Bing picks LeBron James over Michael Jordan

The Hall of Famer appeared on The Jalen & Jacoby Show and shared his take on the GOAT debate. Bing would gladly play with King James.

“If I had to choose who I would want to play with, I think it would be LeBron,” he said. “I say that because LeBron plays the whole floor the whole game. He was not the kind of scorer that MJ was, but I think as a consummate player both ends of the court, the offensive end and defensive end, he did some things statistically that MJ didn’t do.” 

Bing took notice of LeBron’s dominance. He knows what it takes to win rings in the NBA. That’s why he decided to go with LeBron.
