The debate continues and NBA legends abound, fueling it with their statements. The latest to assess who the basketball GOAT is was Isiah Thomas, one of Jordan's great rivals in his time. The legendary point guard from Detroit Pistons argued convincingly why he believes LeBron James is the greatest of all time.
More and more authoritative voices in NBA history are considering that the time has come for LeBron James to have surpassed Michael Jordan. While it's true that the Bulls' star will always hold a special significance in this sport, the legacy that the King is building is becoming undeniable, and his triumphant longevity stands as a strong argument to be considered the GOAT. That's the opinion of Isiah Thomas, whose statements on Hoopshype deserve to be taken into account.
"He's at the top of almost every statistic, and what amazes me the most is that he surpassed Magic Johnson's assists, who I consider the best point guard in history. I know Curry could be in the conversation, but I see Magic as a step above," said Thomas before delving into the matter of LeBron James. "There has never been a player capable of dominating so many aspects of the game as he does. The numbers don't lie, and neither do the feelings he conveys as the leader of his teams, so for me, there is no doubt that he is the best in history," he concluded.
