Michael Jordan's agent aims dig at LeBron James as he weighs in on GOAT debate

Michael Jordan’s longtime agent, David Falk, has taken a stunning dig at LeBron James in the context of basketball’s greatest of all-time debate. 

Jordan, James, and a few others have been brought up in basketball’s GOAT debate, with the Chicago Bulls legend and current Los Angeles Laker arguably being the two-most mentioned. 

The two never overlapped in the NBA, with Jordan’s comeback with the Washington Wizards ending a few months before James was drafted by the Cleveland Cavaliers. 

‘I really like LeBron, but I think if Jordan had cherry-picked what teams he wanted to be on and two other superstars, he would’ve won 15 championships,’ Falk recently told the Sports Business Journal. 

Jordan won six NBA тιтles, all with the Bulls, while a stout roster, that included Scottie Pippen and Dennis Rodman, surrounded him. 

James has played for three different teams, winning two тιтles with the Miami Heat, and one each with the Lakers and Cavaliers.

For LeBron’s first two тιтles, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh were in South Beach, Kyrie Irving and Kevin Love were part of Cleveland’s тιтle-winning squad in 2016, and James was joined by Anthony Davis and Rajon Rondo for the bubble championship in 2020. 

Falk, who has represented Michael Jordan since 1984, is expected to be biased for and defend his client at all turns. 

Many arguments against Jordan, such as the parity in the NBA nowadays, would have made it harder for him to win six тιтles. 

James nor Jordan have responded to Falk’s claims, with his projection leading to some crazy scenarios. 

In a world where Jordan does not retire twice, he joins the Houston Rockets or two different Laker dynasties, one coaches by Pat Riley, and the other by former Bulls’ boss Phil Jackson. 

Or, does Jordan try to persuade the biggest stars at the time to join him in a different city where he could be the focal point?  

Either way, Falk’s comments only ramp up the talk of who basketball’s GOAT truly is.
