Michael Phelps weighs in on the NBA’s greatest player debate, saying Michael Jordan’s legacy still towers over LeBron James and other sports stars.

Larry Bird once admitted that even he was shocked by one of Michael Jordan’s verbal outbursts, an insult toward Reggie Miller. The comment came during a heated playoff battle between the Chicago Bulls and the Indiana Pacers, when Jordan and Miller clashed in what became one of the NBA’s most iconic rivalries of the 1990s.

Isiah Thomas has chosen LeBron James as his ultimate GOAT. He gave a compelling argument as to why he chose LBJ for the title.

Until Stephen Curry, Michael Jordan held a lot of the NBA's records for scoring in the second half of a career. But now, the Golden State Warriors ' legend keeps playing and keeps breaking them. The latest record broken by Curry is 30-point games by a guard after turning 30, according to Real Sports.

Regardless of the state of his relationship with Jordan at the time, having feuded since 2012, Barkley did not use the opportunity to slight MJ. In fact, the prominent NBA analyst even notably said Mike would average " close to 40 a game " if he played in this era.
