The debate over the NBA GOAT often centers on LeBron James and Michael Jordan, and WWE star Randy Orton has made it clear in a new video who he will NOT be supporting.
While I was in a video for the Official WWE YouTube PageOrton showed his harsh judgment of James, who has won four NBA titles and recently helped Team USA win a gold medal in Paris.
“Fuck LeBron,” Orton said.
However, the 44-year-old wrestler did not mention Jordan.
He later spoke out about being a GOAT in the WWE world.
LeBron James and Michael Jordan are often pitted against each other in NBA GOAT debates
And WWE star Randy Orton made it clear that he does not have a positive image of James
“I don’t think there’s a GOAT… I like Mount Rushmore,” he said.
“I like who your top 5, top 10, even top 20 is. But the GOAT, I don’t think there is one.”
As noted by Fox NewsOrton holds 14 world titles in WWE, while Ric Flair and John Cena jointly hold the record with 16 titles each.
James added his third Olympic gold medal to his collection last week when Team USA defeated host nation France in the gold medal match.
The 39-year-old played a pivotal role alongside Stephen Curry and Kevin Durant, showing why he is still regarded as one of the best players in the world after two decades.
Jordan retired after the 2002-03 season, but he compiled a legendary catalog that included six NBA championships, five MVP wins and two gold medals.
Regardless of what Orton thinks of the former Chicago star, it’s clear he’s not impressed with James’ long list of accomplishments.
