Adam Silver Reveals NBA’s True GOAT Between Michael Jordan, LeBron James

NBA commissioner Adam Silver decided to offer his take on something of a polarizing topic this week: who the true GOAT is between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Over the years there has been a lot of conversation regarding who the league’s greatest ever is.

Some, like his former teammate and current arch nemesis Scottie Pippen, think it’s Jordan. Others, like Dallas Mavericks head coach Jason Kidd, believe it is James.

What does Silver think? He answered that question a few days ago.

Everyone has a take on this topic. Shawn Kemp has weighed in. Allen Iverson has weighed in. Heck, even President Donald Trump has weighed in.

And everyone has their own take on the matter.

Who is the NBA’s true GOAT? According to Silver it’s Jordan – but his opinion likely won’t sway the hearts and minds of people who aren’t sure.
