De'Aaron Fox Says "I Didn't Watch Michael Jordan Play" to Explain LeBron Decision

Sacramento Kings star gives his reasons for choosing LeBron James over Jordan

The NBA's All-Star Weekend is always a time for reflection and debate, and this year was no different. One of the most talked-about topics was the question of who is the greatest player of all time: Michael Jordan or LeBron James? When asked about his pick, De'Aaron Fox surprisingly chose James over Jordan.

Fox's Reasoning

Fox's reasoning is based on the simple fact that he didn't grow up watching Jordan play. "I didn't watch Michael Jordan play, so it's hard for me to say that he's the greatest," Fox said. "I've only seen highlights of him." Fox also praised James' longevity and consistency, saying that "he's been doing it for so long and at such a high level."

Impact on the GOAT Debate

Fox's comments are sure to add fuel to the GOAT debate, but it's important to remember that there is no right or wrong answer. Both Jordan and James have had incredible careers, and it's up to each individual fan to decide who they believe is the greatest.

Historical Context

It's also worth noting that Fox's generation of NBA players grew up in an era when James was already a superstar. For many of these players, James is the only player they have ever known. This is in contrast to older generations of players, who grew up watching Jordan dominate the league.
