De’Aaron Fox recently shared his opinion on the debate surrounding the greatest player of all time, declaring LeBron James as the top player in NBA history.
While acknowledging the incredible achievements of Michael Jordan, the Kings guard expressed admiration for LeBron’s longevity and sustained excellence over the years.
“What MJ did in 15 years is crazy,” Fox said, referencing Jordan’s dominance during his career, including his six NBA championships with the Chicago Bulls.
However, Fox emphasized the unmatched career that LeBron has had, pointing to his remarkable achievements and continued high-level performance, even as he enters his 20th season in the league.
“But what LeBron’s done in his career and is still doing is nuts,” Fox added, praising James for his ability to adapt and remain one of the top players in the game for such a long period.
De’Aaron also noted his perspective, admitting that he never had the chance to watch Michael Jordan play live.
“I would say Bron, I didn’t watch Michael Jordan play, so I’m not going to pick somebody I didn’t watch play,” Fox explained, pointing out that his assessment is influenced by his firsthand experience of LeBron’s greatness over the years.
This candid statement reflects a broader trend among younger players who have grown up watching LeBron as the defining player of their era.
