NBA Michael Jordan, Cooper Flagg et LeBron James
NBA (DR) / @BenGolliver

With no one able to agree on the issue, Michael Jordan and LeBron James continue to argue over who is the greatest player of all time.

More recently, it was American star Cooper Flagg who had to choose between them.

If LeBron James continues to chase a new championship ring, it is not simply to fill his trophy cabinet a little more.

The Lakers winger would thus get a little closer to Michael Jordan, while the latter has six titles against four for the Chosen One.

An argument in favor of the Hall of Famer therefore and which weighs a lot in the battle for the honorary title of GOAT.

Especially since among observers, fans and even basketball players themselves, it is hard to find a consensus as both camps refuse to let go of the piece.

But what does the new generation of players think? Born in 2006 and announced as the next superstar of the United States, Cooper Flagg was asked about it while he was participating in the Team USA camp. And his answer was clear:

Cooper Flagg gives his candid opinion on the best player of all time

Michael Jordan is the GOAT

Flagg never got to see His Airness play live and grew up while LeBron was in his prime, but that doesn’t stop him from preferring the former Bulls guard.

The latter will appreciate… unsurprisingly, the future Duke player has rekindled the debate a little more with his strong stance.

He answered the most important question right…Michael Jordan is the GOAT

Yeah, LeBron will personally welcome you to the NBA

The guy doesn’t know anything about basketball

For Cooper Flagg, there’s no doubt that Michael Jordan is the greatest player in history. If LeBron James is still active when the high school kid enters the NBA in a year, he might be able to change his mind on the court.
