LeBron or MJ – that is a question that all NBA fans and players are asked all the time.
It seems that question has been posed to anyone who has anything to do with the NBA and now it’s time for Derrick White of the Boston Celtics to answer.
A video shared by LeBronchitis on X shows White being asked if LeBron James is the greatest NBA player of all time.
White doesn’t vocalize his answer but he does nod in agreement, even as some fans protest and say Michael Jordan is better.

Now White has added his two cents to the debate about James and Jordan and he obviously believes that James is the better player.
That is quite a statement and one that many others have made.
But that doesn’t mean this conversation is over because fans, writers, analysts, and players will argue about this for years and there will never be a truly definitive answer.
Instead, the fact that these two are always being debated is all the proof we need of their unparalleled greatness.
Even though he has played against him many times, White recently got to see James’ greatness up close as they both participated in the Paris Olympics.
They battled hard and were able to bring Team USA home with a gold medal.
During that time, White was able to witness how James works, not as an opponent but as a teammate.
This likely influenced his opinion about James and his place in NBA history and that’s probably why he was so quick to agree with the fan proclaiming his superiority over Jordan.
