Stephen A. Smith once again made it clear where he stands in the NBA’s greatest-of-all-time debate, explaining why he believes Michael Jordan remains ahead of LeBron James.

“Ladies and gentlemen, I believe Michael Jordan is the greatest that has ever lived… He is the greatest closer in the history of the sport.”

Smith said Jordan’s ability to deliver in the biggest moments is what separates him from every other player in NBA history.

“That’s why I believe LeBron James will never be the GOAT.”
