The GOAT debate has been a long-lasting topic that often turns into a heated argument with no solid conclusion. Throughout the course of the league, there have been numerous players who have a legit case to win this prestigious title. However, this debate has been majorly dominated by the likes of two legends – Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
While fans often laud MJ for being 6-0 in the championship, the incredible competitiveness he possesses, and an impressive skill-set, LBJ is commended for his longevity, stacked resume, versatility, and physicality.
Both these superstars are proven winners. With each of them having a ridiculously long list of achievements under their belt, – a combined 32 All-Star appearances, 28 All-NBA selections, 15 All-Defensive selections, 9 MVPs, 10 championships, and 10 Finals MVPs – it is pretty challenging to term one player better than the other.

It feels like half of them are contractually obligated to say it. She’s so un-enthusiastic about it lol

Pretty bold of Buss to honestly give her opinion on this controversial debate.
