Allen Iverson on Michael Jordan-LeBron James debate: ‘Mike is the GOAT’

Philadelphia 76ers legend Allen Iverson is the latest Hall of Famer to weigh in on the greatest of all-time (GOAT) debate over Michael Jordan and LeBron James.

Iverson offers a unique perspective to the debate given the fact he actually played against both Jordan and James during his illustrious 14-season Hall of Fame career.

In his lengthy Players’ Tribune article, which was published Thursday, Iverson finally took a stance on who he believes is the greatest NBA player of all-time.

It’s MJ — without a doubt, according to Iverson.

Via The Players’ Tribune:

And to be clear, Iverson emphasized he had “nothing but love for LeBron.” He went so far as to call James “the best player of his generation” and “one of the best ever.”

Iverson also praised James for his charitable work with the “I Promise” school in Akron, Ohio.

“[He’s a] great role model,” Iverson wrote. “And it’s even beyond that: What he’s doing with that school in Akron?? It’s a beautiful thing.”

But at the end of it all, there’s no room for debate, according to Iverson.

“Mike is the GOAT,” he wrote.
