LeBron James is the GOAT. Here's who said it

 One of Michael Jordan's greatest rivals (on the court and beyond), who had already sided with LeBron in the most heartfelt dispute by fans in the past, underlined an aspect that is often disputed to MJ: "We never  had a player who, like LeBron, manages to combine dominance both on the court and in actions in favor of the weaker communities "

 Bill Russell and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (just to cite examples close to the world of basketball) were among the main representatives of a movement that has been able to affect society through sport, to make the voices of the discriminated against using their skills and abilities heard.  on the parquet to act as a megaphone to the requests of African Americans.  LeBron James has inserted himself in the best way in that groove, contemporary and at the same time always aimed at others.  A talent that does not bring points to the scoresheet for his teams, but which according to Isiah Thomas makes him the greatest ever, as told in the umpteenth interview about the eternal tug-of-war over who can be considered the GOAT: "  look at those who have been able to give a voice to those who have never had one, to make the demands of our society listen.  You are a champion on the field, but you must also be a champion off the pitch.  For one thing, there are statistics and the numbers don't lie.  But LeBron is also adding one-of-a-kind off-pitch work, and that too is indisputable.  We all know that there has never been a player like him when it comes to passing the ball, controlling the body, shooting, bouncing… no one has had his surrender and consistency in every aspect of the game.  It had never been seen before, as well as the work done for communities in need.  LeBron James is unique, the greatest ”.  Even without naming Michael Jordan, the message came loud and clear.
