Many people believe that the debate on which is the greatest of all time (goat) of the NBA has been settled, with Michael Jordan widely considered the best player. While David Falk, Jordan’s long -standing agent, agrees that MJ deserves this title, he also shared his reflections on the place where LeBron James fits into the conversation.
Falk, who represented NBA legends such as Jordan, Allen Iverson and Patrick Ewing, shared his ideas and advice to the aspiring leaders of the sport industry concerning the NBA landscape in constant evolution. He spoke during the Sports Business Journal 4Sse conference in Manhattan on May 20.
During the panel, Falk shared its intimate memories of representing Jordan at the beginning, both good and evil. He specifically recalled that he had to sail in the scandal that occurred after being revealed that Jordan had paid dozens of thin bolts of thousands of dollars following a gaming incident on the golf course in the early 1990s.
Falk settles the debate on the goat
When he was asked if he thought that Michael Jordan was the greatest of all time, he quickly accepted and mentioned that second place would go to Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Kobe Bryant.
When asked if LeBron James had fallen into the top 10, he replied:
“Probably,” said Falk, before delivering the quote of the day: “I really like LeBron,” he said. “But I think that if Jordan had selected the teams in which he wanted to be and two other superstars, he would have won 15 championships.”
