According to a recent report by AS, former Pistons legend, “Smiling Assassin” Isiah Thomas discussed the GOAT debate between Jordan and James.
Thomas stated that James is the GOAT.
“When you look at the stats, it’s impressive. He has surpassed Kareem Abdul-Jabbar to become the all-time leading scorer in history, he is also the all-time leading scorer in playoff history, and it’s not just that. Look at the all-time assists list, I know where I stand on this list, but he has surpassed me too.”
“He has also surpassed Magic Johnson, there is no NBA player who ranks so high in career scoring, rebounds, and assists.”
Note: AS pointed out that James currently ranks first in the scoring list, fourth in the assists list, but only 31st in the rebounding list, and may move into the top 30 in the new season.
Additionally, AS also pointed out that it’s not surprising that Thomas supports James, given the well-known past between him and Jordan that fans are all too aware of.
