Los Angeles Lakers star LeBron James is the oldest active player in the NBA. Now in his 22nd season of professional basketball, he continues to showcase remarkable skills on the court. His unwavering commitment to the game and numerous outstanding accomplishments cement his status as one of the greatest players ever.

Debates comparing James to Michael Jordan frequently emerge as fans and analysts discuss who truly is the GOAT. Recently, Indiana Fever star Caitlin Clark weighed in on this conversation, selecting James as her top pick. During a recent interview with Time, Clark articulated her admiration for James, highlighting his significant support for her and the WNBA.

“It has been cool to just see his support of myself and the ‘W’ overall … I mean he is the greatest basketball player of all time, so I think that’s pretty cool.” Clark said.

Clark’s statement caused a stir among the basketball community, who began expressing their thoughts in the comments section of @MaskedInLA’s post on X. One fan said, “Over MJ? LMAO, c’mon CC…”

Meanwhile, another fan mentioned, “lmao. She forgot MJ.”

A sports enthusiast remarked, “Damn, it’s happening. She’s too young to know the real goat.”

Another fan reacted, “Damn! That’s why CC is the best WNBA player of all time.”

Another fan mentioned, “MJ is the greatest based on overall accomplishments, LeBron is the best based on sheer talent.”

Another fan mentioned, “Ofc she’s a ball knower”

Jovan Buha Reports Lack Of Clarity On LeBron James’ Status

LeBron James was sidelined during the Lakers’ 107-98 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers due to soreness in his left foot. Although there were expectations for his return in the subsequent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves, he missed that game as well.

Lakers head coach JJ Redick stated that James is currently absent from the team for personal reasons. This situation has raised concerns among Lakers supporters about the superstar’s condition. Jovan Buha from The Athletic recently noted that, as of now, no definitive timeline has been established for James’s return to the Lakers.

The Lakers are currently in the 10th spot in the Western Conference standings with 13 wins and 12 losses. James’ presence is crucial for the team in the upcoming games.
