LeBron James and Derrick White were teammates on Team USA at the Paris Olympics, where they won gold together. LeBron played in every game and earned MVP honors for his performance. In contrast, Derrick White’s role was more limited; he was added to the roster after Kawhi Leonard withdrew due to injury.
Throughout the tournament, from the group stage to the gold medal game, White had the opportunity to witness LeBron’s extraordinary athleticism up close. This experience left a lasting impression on White, who did not hesitate to declare LeBron as his GOAT, even over Michael Jordan.
When asked about who he considers the GOAT, White provided a straightforward answer, showing no doubt.
“He is the GOAT,” White said.
He reiterated his stance, adding, “LeBron is the GOAT. Not MJ. LeBron, LeGOAT, my king.”
Fans React to Derrick White’s Bold Claim on LeBron James
The GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and the Lakers’ LeBron James never seems to end. While Jordan has won more championships and MVP awards than James, LeBron has surpassed Jordan in points, rebounds, and assists. As a result, the criteria you use to determine the GOAT is crucial in this debate.
After Derrick White recently expressed his opinion by choosing James as his GOAT, NBA fans quickly joined the conversation. They took to social media to voice their thoughts, reigniting the longstanding debate.
LeBron has also surpassed Jordan in terms of Olympic gold medals, with three to Jordan’s two. Following LeBron’s performance at the Paris Olympics, many fans, like White, are convinced that James is the true GOAT.
