Former NBA Player Shares Controversial Opinion: "I don't know how one can put Jordan above LeBron"

Terrence Ross retired from professional basketball just a few months ago and now enjoys his new life as a streamer. The small forward was a player who remained in the NBA for over 11 years. He wore the colors of the Toronto Raptors in his first five years in the league, spent six seasons with the Orlando Magic, and played some games with the Phoenix Suns.

In a recent stream, Ross talked about the Paris 2024 Olympics, what Stephen Curry did, and the influence of LeBron James, whom he described as the greatest player of all time. He even said he didn't understand how Michael Jordan could be ranked above him, presenting his arguments.

"LeBron was the best player in all the Olympic Games, brother. Curry did his thing in the last two games, absolutely destroyed with his shots, as he is known to do. LeBron literally put the team on his back and carried them there [the gold]. I mean, without LeBron, Curry might not have had those shooting opportunities. "

"LeBron is literally, for me now, the GOAT (Greatest of All Time). I don't understand how Jordan can be ranked above him. If Jordan had done what he did for 20 years, I would say 'Yes, LeBron still has a long way to go'."

Ross's argument in the Michael Jordan vs. LeBron James debate

"The truth is, Jordan played basketball twice, retired twice. He achieved a three-peat in his first comeback, and the second time he returned, he was not the same player. LeBron has literally been at the top throughout his career. I mean, he just ages, but he remains as effective as ever. I mean, the level of competition he's doing it against seems more impressive to me than the competition Jordan won against, if we're going to be honest about it."
