NBA 

Today, the debate around the GOAT mainly revolves around LeBron James and Michael Jordan. 

But in a few years, Victor Wembanyama could well invite himself to their table. 

A famous journalist has also put forward a shocking argument on this subject.

For several years now, and even more intensely since the title won by LeBron James with the Lakers in 2020, the debate around the GOAT has only revolved around two players.

The King therefore, who is the hero of the new generation, and Michael Jordan, untouchable according to the oldest.

Both camps have arguments, not always very valid, which continue to fuel discussions.

And in recent days, a big trend is creating buzz on social networks, with the aim of discrediting the career of No. 23 of the Bulls.

According to the young TikTok investigators, who are finally delving into MJ’s matches, the latter was simply incapable of attacking with his left hand, which should automatically disqualify him from the race for the title of best player in all the time.

Victor Wembanyama brought into the debates around the GOAT?

Unsurprisingly, the responses from the opposing camp were not long in coming.

In his podcast, former ESPN journalist Bomani Jones gave his take on the situation, and he explained something quite relevant to the King’s virulent fans: one day, they may find themselves in this same situation with a Victor Wembanyama who could have a more impressive track record:

There’s something special that Michael Jordan had, and we’re losing it a little in this era where everything revolves around numbers.

There was a scene in “The Last Dance”, he was playing against the Jazz, and someone was explaining that what makes MJ the GOAT is his ability to be 100% present in the most important moments of the matches .

Concentration is a talent, it is the most important talent when you want to succeed.

I don’t think anyone on this earth has ever been as good as MJ at this level.

In a few years, all the young people who attacked Michael Jordan will be old, they will be at the table with a new generation, and they will say that they were there to witness the exploits of LeBron, while the young people will attack him to put forward the career of Victor Wembanyama.

They will show images of LeBron getting dominated in the playoffs or taking sweeps.

For Bomani Jones, trying to persuade others that this or that player is the GOAT is useless, because it mainly depends on who the fans have seen play.

So if they are today in the shoes of attackers, lovers of King LeBron James will quickly have to learn to defend themselves, because in a few years, the Victor Wembanyama generation will arrive in the debates.

What if Victor Wembanyama found a place in the GOAT debates in a few years? 

For this specialist, LeBron James fans must take advantage of the moment, because soon, they will be the ones who will have to defend the King’s legacy against a generation that denigrates him.
