Mike Tyson Weighs In: Jordan Reigns Supreme in His NBA GOAT Ranking
The enduring debate over who holds the title of the greatest NBA player of all time continues to captivate fans, with Michael Jordan and LeBron James consistently at the forefront. While opinions remain divided, boxing legend Mike Tyson has firmly planted himself in the Jordan camp.
During a recent appearance on “The Big Podcast” with Shaquille O’Neal, Tyson was direct in his assessment. When asked about the NBA’s greatest, he declared, “I’m a Jordan guy.”

The statistical arguments for both Jordan and James are compelling. Jordan concluded his career with averages of 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds, 5.3 assists, and 2.3 steals per game across 1,072 games. He also boasts a perfect 6-0 record in NBA Finals appearances.
LeBron James, on the other hand, has played in 1,562 games, averaging 27 points, 7.5 rebounds, 7.4 assists, and 1.5 steals. His career includes four championships in ten NBA Finals appearances.
despite the impressive resumes of both athletes, Tyson’s preference leans towards Jordan.
