Luka Doncic and the surprising answer on who is basketball's GOAT

Publish date: 2024-05-01

Luka Doncic is drawing global attention both on and off the basketball court. His presence at events and press conferences consistently garners a massive following of fans worldwide.

At a recent event in the United Arab Emirates, Doncic found himself entangled in the age-old debate surrounding the title of the Greatest of All Time (GOAT) in NBA history, and in the broader context of basketball.

Doncic's surprising response

When asked who he believed was the best basketball player of all time, Doncic offered a resolute response.

"It's MJ," Doncic noted, referring to Michael Jordan.

While this answer may seem logical to some, it raised eyebrows due to Doncic's well-documented admiration for LeBron James.

He vividly recalls the experience of getting LeBron's jersey during a game against the Los Angeles Lakers when he was still a rookie.

During the same interview, Doncic was asked to put together his all-time starting five, but he was reluctant to answer.

"I don't know about the starting five, I'd have to think about it," he noted.
