Everyone has their vote in the LeBron James vs. Michael Jordan GOAT debate.
Another former NBA standout has lent his thoughts to who the greatest basketball player of all time is.
This guy happens to have played a season with LeBron James on the Cleveland Cavaliers.
And this guy, Jose Calderon, sides with the King.
This is what Calderon said recently:
“If someone says Michael Jordan is the best, I can't argue with that. But I think the thing about LeBron, for me, is that he's been in the NBA for 21 years, he's still one of the best players in the NBA, it's very difficult to stay at that level for so long. So I think he's a more complete player, and I think Jordan was incredible. I love him too.”

Calderon points out something that all the LeBron truthers will agree with.
The idea of James being a "more complete player" is something that the stats back up, too.
Obviously, it doesn't actually matter who the GOAT is. They're two of the greatest basketball players ever, and the sport is better for having featured them both.
It's still cool to hear takes from guys who have played a lot of ball.
Calderon was a 14-year NBA veteran and one of the best foul shooters of all time, in addition to a great pass-first point guard.
And he's Team LeBron.
