Stephen A is completely wrong. This wasn’t about who was the GOAT, it was who they would choose 1st on a team. All those guys have immense confidence in their abilities and would choose themselves first. LeBron was wrong about most GMs would choose him. They would choose the bigs
Stephen A. Smith on LeBron James comments about the GOAT debate:
“He’s talking about they would say the same thing, no they wouldn’t. Michael Jordan would never tell you he’s the GOAT, I know Michael Jordan I speak to him often, I’m telling you he’s never ever, ever once called himself the greatest never happened. Kobe Bryant didn’t call himself the greatest, Kareem didn’t call himself the greatest, Magic didn’t call himself the greatest, Bird didn’t call himself the greatest, no that’s not true. He can say they might thought it, but they never articulated it to a reporter for print purposes to be disseminated to the masses. Which brings us to LeBron James why would he do that? Because the man is addicted to trying to control the narrative.”
