Bobby Krivitsky: Ron Harper Jr. reveals his top-5 NBA players of all-time. It’s a list that includes Steph Curry. He also has his dad’s former teammate, Michael Jordan, ahead of LeBron James.
Phoenix Suns star Devin Booker has weighed in on one of basketball's most popular debates, revealing his all-time NBA starting lineup. In a video posted to TikTok by chickenwrapcharge, Booker selected Stephen Curry, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, Kevin Durant and Shaquille O'Neal as his all-time starting five.
Are you surprised a reunion in Miami didn’t happen? Chris Bosh: I'm surprised, but I'm not surprised. You know, that was just my best pick. I was like, hey, if I'm doing something, I'm going to go to Miami, if it was me. But Philly was a pretty good choice, too. So a lot of people call it ring chasing. Everybody chases rings. If you didn't think Kobe and Jordan were ring chasers too, you're crazy. [Laughs] Everybody wants a ring. I'll chase a ring right now. [Laughs].
Heat Central: Bam Adebayo names his top 5 players of all time: Kobe Bryant Steph Curry Michael Jordan Kevin Durant Tim Duncan No LeBron James 👀
Andres Nocioni: As a rival Kobe Bryant would kill you, he was a serial killer, very competitive. I imagine he must have been the closest thing to Jordan in that mindset, because I played against LeBron James. LeBron seems to me to be top two, top three in the NBA, one of the best, but I don't know if he has what Kobe and Jordan had. They were serial killers, a certain mindset. And I think LeBron is a total star, but I don't know if he has that killer mentality.

Eddie Johnson: Athletes are coached, built and motivated their entire lives to chase championships. Tom Brady, Peyton Manning and Shaquille O'Neal all changed teams for another shot at titles and nobody accused those players of doing something wrong because they still wanted to win. Yet somehow when LeBron does it, 'ring chasing' suddenly becomes an issue. Why? Because every championship LeBron wins changes history. It changes where people rank him, how future generations remember him and makes the Michael Jordan debate more uncomfortable for people who've already made up their minds. That's why every move becomes controversial.
LeBron James and ESPN are closing in on an agreement for a behind-the-scenes documentary series that will be similar to Michael Jordan’s “The Last Dance,” according to industry sources granted anonymity as they were not authorized to talk about the deal that is not finalized. One of the sources described the talks as being at the “one-yard line,” with the expectation that James, 41, will have a camera crew documenting his time with the Philadelphia 76ers, who James signed with this month. The 76ers are expected to be the final home of his legendary career.
Mikel Brown Jr.: "I really didn't have a favorite player. If you would say that I had a favorite player growing up, I was a big Bron guy just because he's the greatest. Besides Michael Jordan. Michael Jordan is my GOAT in my book. But yeah, I mean, I learned from all the guards and all the greats. You too, obviously. Like you guys, I can learn a lot from. Your footwork. I think both of you all have tremendous footwork. So trying to take that away from you all. Then you go to the guards. I was a big Steve Nash guy growing up. Big Rajon Rondo guy and a big CP3 guy growing up."
Jaylen Brown: "I had a good convo with Michael Jordan and he was like, one thing I want you to work on is your efficiency. You're efficient, but even more efficient. Don't waste no energy, no motion, no movement while you're on the court."
NBA Courtside: Allen Iverson on the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James: “The way I look at it, is Michael is always going to be the GOAT to me, you know what I mean? And LeBron to me, I feel like if you go in the dictionary and you look up basketball player, you’ll see LeBron James, you know what I mean? And you know the whole GOAT thing to me I think a lot of times it gets out of hand because I think a lot of times people will take away from one player what they did you know what I mean? To boost up the other player. You know what I mean? That’s not what you do. I feel like a lot of times you know people get caught up in the whole GOAT thing but your GOAT is your GOAT. You have your opinion to name anyone your GOAT if you want to. You know what I mean? You’re not wrong by saying anyone’s your GOAT. I had my fans say I’m the GOAT all the time. I don’t agree with them because I think it’s Mike.” (Via @stephenasmith)

Speaking at the Berkeley Forum at the University of California, Berkeley, Kerr said that he can no longer separate the legends. “So that was an easy answer. A few years ago, it was Michael Jordan. Then I got to coach LeBron James in the Olympics. And since people have their phones on here, this somehow may end up on social media. LeBron won a gold medal, and I got to coach him. He was an amazing guy to coach. I’m gonna say it’s a dead tie.”
Legion Hoops: Julius Erving on LeBron vs. Kobe: “LeBron’s one of one, Kobe’s another sort of imitation of MJ. There have been plenty of imitations of Michael and Kobe. LeBron’s one of one.”
President Donald Trump wondered if newly minted Philadelphia 76ers star LeBron James might be a “racist” on Friday when asked to pick who he believes to be the greatest basketball player of all time. Trump said he thinks that Michael Jordan is the best player ever. His reasoning was personal. “He’s a really good guy,” Trump said in the Oval Office. “I think LeBron is — maybe he’s a racist. But maybe he doesn’t like Trump. I don’t know. I only like people that like me. So I would say Michael Jordan all the way.”
James has been a critic of Trump over the last decade and campaigned against him during each of the past three presidential elections. James endorsed and campaigned for Hillary Clinton in 2016 during Trump’s first presidential campaign and endorsed Joe Biden for president in 2020. James endorsed Kamala Harris late in the 2024 presidential race.
