Many people debate about who is the greatest basketball player ever, but for Zach LaVine the choice is very clear.
The 27-year-old shooting guard says that for him it is Michael Jordan. The Bulls legend was inspirational to so many players, LaVine says as he recalls watching MJ’s highlights as a kid.
Via K.C. Johnson of NBC Sports:
“I don’t think anybody can touch his legacy or his greatness. “For me in my books, I always have MJ as the best player ever because without him, there’s nobody coming after him. He inspired us. “I’ve said a couple times, he’s almost like a mythological creature. He almost didn’t exist. Some of his stats, you go back and look at his highlights, it’s like, ‘I don’t know if this guy was real.’”
