Did Allen Iverson just change his mind and call LeBron James the GOAT over Michael Jordan?
It is worth noting Iverson also called Kevin Durant "the one," and him using "the one" is a lot different than him using "The GOAT."
"Man….. listen. First of all, I love LeBron. I have nothing but love for LeBron. That's the best player of his generation, one of the best ever, a great husband, great father, great role model, and it's even beyond that: What he's doing with that school in Akron?? It's a beautiful thing. But y'all. We're talking about Mike. We're talking about Mike, O.K.?? We're talking about Black Jesus himself. And I don't really have much more to say beyond that. Mike is the GOAT……. Mike is always going to be the GOAT. And please don't even insult me with any of this "stats, AI!" business, like you have a chance of changing my mind."
Iverson has a unique perspective because he's played against Michael Jordan toward the tail end of his career and LeBron James at the beginning of his. To be honest, Iverson -- just like the rest of us -- probably changes his mind on this topic all of the time!
