Former Clippers Broadcaster Who Watched Michael Jordan Play Says LeBron James Is The GOAT, And It’s ‘Not Even Close’

LeBron James and Michael Jordan have been part of the GOAT debate for a really long time. Both players left a mark on the basketball court and they both enter history as the best to ever do the job. However, one of them has accomplished more than his opponent. Jordan may have more rings, but LeBron’s dominance has been making headlines for over two decades and he is not stopping now.

Former and current NBA players have shared their opinion on the GOAT debate. Some still stand by Jordan, but even doubters know that LeBron is the greatest of all time. He even passed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar for most points in the NBA all-time list of scoring.

Former Los Angeles Clippers broadcaster Ralph Lawler spoke about the ongoing debate. According to him, LeBron is the GOAT. Simple as that. He has a few good reasons to vote for LeBron. There’s more. Lawler even insists that the gap between LeBron and Jordan is “not even close.”

“I made it clear in my book BINGO! 40 YEARS IN THE NBA and I will now repeat: ‘LeBron James is the Great player in NBA History.’ Did you see him single handedly demolish New Orleans last night? I don’t even think the race for the GOAT is close. And I have seen them All.”

LeBron beats Jordan in the GOAT debate

Lawler’s comment triggered an avalanche of reactions and some people even said he was crazy.

“I am Not crazy. LeBron is the Best there has ever been. He does more to help his teams win than anyone who has ever played the game. And, it is Not even Close. Add the length of his career without a fall-off in his talent level and it is not even worth discussing.”

Lawler may have been a Clippers broadcaster, but he can recognize greatness and LeBron sure earned his words of praise.

The four-time NBA champion has made 10 NBA Finals and won four rings. He has won a title with three different teams and won a NBA Finals MVP award each time. LeBron is also a 19-time All-Star, 19-time All-NBA selection, four-time league MVP, and four-time NBA Finals MVP. Sounds good, right?
