00:01George Pickens was asked to choose basketball's GOAT and Michael Jordan
00:05didn't get his vote. The Cowboys wide receiver picked LeBron James, explaining
00:10that LeBron represents the era he grew up watching and has the athletic ability
00:14that, in his eyes, makes him the greatest ever.
00:17Who's your greatest player of all time in George Pickens basketball?
00:21Oh, basketball greatest player of all time for me? I'd definitely say LeBron. It's just my era but I

00:33Pickens then broke down the other two legends in his personal ranking. Kobe Bryant had an
00:38unmatched mentality, while Jordan combined elements of both athleticism and mentality. But for
00:44Pickens, the deciding factor is personal. At 25, he grew up during LeBron's era rather
00:50than Jordan's dominance of the 1990s.
00:52So, while MJ's six championships and perfect 6-0 finals record haven't settled a debate
00:58for him, Pickens knows exactly who sits at the top of his list.
