Fans recently sounded off online after a person close to &#8220;His Airness&#8221; weighed in on the NBA GOAT debate.<\/p>\n<p>During a recent interview with <em>Sports Business Journal<\/em>, MJ&#8217;s longtime agent was asked about LeBron. He feels the star forward is an all-time talent, but doesn&#8217;t have him near the top of the list. When it comes to people behind Jordan, he opted for legends such as Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and Kobe Bryant.<\/p>\n<p>While diving further into LeBron, Michael Jordan&#8217;s agent gave his reasoning as to why he isn&#8217;t on par with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/chicago-bulls\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Chicago Bulls<\/a> legend. He cited his constant team hopping, claiming MJ would have double-digit titles if he picked his teams in a similar fashion.<\/p>\n<p><template id=\"also-read-articles-template\"><\/p>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p><template id=\"bets-today-poll\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"preview-card-holder bets-today-poll\">\n<p><span class=\"date\"\/> \u2022 <span class=\"time\"\/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"march-madness-logo\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/skm\/assets\/march-madness-logo.png\" height=\"42\" width=\"99\" alt=\"march madness logo\"\/><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<p>Following these brash remarks, NBA fans quickly began chiming in with their comments.<\/p>\n<p>These comments did not go over well, as the majority of fans tried to discredit his take on the GOAT debate.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;no reason for mj to leave the bulls lol, he had a super team there. mfs be dumb,&#8221; one fan <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NotLikeBron\/status\/1925177029642621071\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;He doesn\u2019t know ball,&#8221; another fan <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EbagNews_\/status\/1925176339914449280\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">said<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8216;Cherry picked what teams he wanted to be on&#8217; nga you had the best team in the league for all 6 of your championships plus the best coach of all time,&#8221; said one fan.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<hr\/>\n<h2>Michael Jordan&#8217;s agent feels LeBron James is a top ten talent all-time <\/h2>\n<p>Michael Jordan&#8217;s agent doesn&#8217;t feel LeBron James sits at the NBA mountaintop, but he didn&#8217;t slight him completely. While speaking on the subject, he did state he is still one of the greatest players to ever step foot in the sport. <\/p>\n<p>After not putting LeBron in the top two, David Falk was asked if the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/basketball\/los-angeles-lakers\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">LA Lakers<\/a> star is among the ten best players ever. He agreed with this placement, stating that he is a fan of the longtime NBA star.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cProbably,\u201d Falk said regarding LeBron being top 10. \u201cI really like LeBron.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Given all he&#8217;s accomplished, it&#8217;s hard to say LeBron isn&#8217;t at least in the top 10. He&#8217;s been a star-level talent for over two decades now, having the top of longevity that no player has ever seen before. Not to mention, he&#8217;s shattered numerous records. Most notably becoming the NBA&#8217;s all-time leading scorer.<\/p>\n<p>Seeing that this debate has been going on for years now, it&#8217;s evident that it&#8217;s never going to end. That said, based on how close he is to Michael Jordan, it&#8217;s not shocking to see Falk take such a stance on this topic. <\/p>\n<div class=\"article-post-rating-widget\">\n<p><template id=\"post-rating-feedback-modal-template\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-feedback-box\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-content\">\n<div class=\"post-rating-feedback-data\">\n<p>Why did you not like this content?<\/p>\n<p><textarea id=\"dislike-feedback-text\" rows=\"4\" placeholder=\"Please type your feedback...\"\/>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\n<button class=\"close\">Cancel<\/button><br \/>\n<button class=\"submit\">Submit<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/template><\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-widget-parent hidden\">\n<div class=\"rating-parent-container\">\n<div class=\"rating-content-holder\">\n<p>Was this article helpful?<\/p>\n<div class=\"post-rating-action-container\">\n<div class=\"like-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-like-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"like\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"like selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"dislike-container\">\n<button class=\"post-rating-dislike-button post-rating-button\" data-action=\"dislike\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"post-dis-like-image post-rating-image\" src=\"https:\/\/staticg.sportskeeda.com\/like-articles\/upvote-icon-grey.svg\" height=\"20\" width=\"20\" alt=\"avatar selected\"\/><br \/>\n<\/button>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>\nThank You for feedback\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"post-author-info-parent\">\n<span class=\"about-the-author\">About the author<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"author-info-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-pic-holder\">\n<img decoding=\"async\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"author-pic\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;charset=utf-8,&lt;svg width=\" height=\"100\"\/><rect width=\"100\" height=\"100\" style=\"fill:rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\/>&#8221; data-lazy=&#8221;https:\/\/keedag.sportskeeda.com\/user-pic\/752974-1648649743-200.jpg?w=200&#8243;<br \/>\nalt=&#8221;Kevin McCormick&#8221; height=&#8221;72&#8243; width=&#8221;72&#8243;&gt;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"author-bio-detail-holder\">\n<div class=\"author-bio\">\n<p class=\"author-bio\" id=\"author-bio-text\">\nKevin McCormick is a basketball writer at Sportskeeda with over four years of experience in journalism and a bachelor&#8217;s degree in Sports Management Marketing from Holy Family University.<\/p>\n<p>Kevin has worked with various notable outlets throughout his career, including 97.3 ESPN, ClutchPoints, Heavy Sports, and Sports Illustrated\/FanNation, before joining Sportskeeda in March 2022.<\/p>\n<p>Specializing in NBA and WNBA coverage, Kevin&#8217;s passion for basketball stems from his hometown team, the Philadelphia 76ers.
