The debate over who is the greatest basketball player of all time has been ongoing for decades. The names most frequently mentioned in this discussion are Michael Jordan, the legendary Chicago Bulls player, and LeBron James, the star of the Los Angeles Lakers.

Over the years, players, former athletes, analysts, and fans shared their opinions and selected their ultimate GOAT (Greatest of All Time). Recently, a legend from a different sport also shared his perspective. Mike Tyson, one of the greatest heavyweight boxers of all time, appeared on the Big Podcast with Shaq. During the conversation, Tyson revealed his choice for the NBA’s GOAT between Jordan and James.

“I’m a Jordan guy.” Tyson said during the conversation with NBA legend Shaquille O’Neal.

In addition to asking about the NBA’s greatest of all time, O’Neal also inquired who Tyson believed was the greatest boxer of all time. Tyson confidently replied, “Me. I’m not being egotistical. They said they know if you put up statistics. Ask the world.”
