A lot of people seem to find wrestling a very entertaining activity that has gain such popularity that the wrestlers are vocal leaders in many fronts. Sports is one of them and the opinion of a personas that has put his body on the line for many years matters.
Now, what he says is very interesting. In this case, WWE superstar Randy Orton talked about the eternal debate about who is the best basketball player in the history of the world and to him it was not enough to say the name of who he thinks the best is.
“F*ck LeBron,” Orton said, referring to LeBron James on a video posted on the WWE’s YouTube channel during a sit-down conversation with WWE champion and friend Cody Rhodes. It is safe to say who he thinks is not the best.
Michael Jordan might be on his list but not a clear number one
Cody Rhodes brought up the LeBron James vs Michael Jordan conversation while making examples of the best wrestlers during the video. “How do you feel knowing you’re in that conversation?,” Rhodes asked Orton. The answer was interesting.
“I don’t think there is a GOAT... I like the Mount Rushmore. I like who’s your top 5, top 10, even top 20. But, the GOAT, I don’t think he exists,” Randy Orton responded. He has won 14 world titles in his career, only behind the 16 of Ric Flair and John Cena.
While Orton did not mention the Michael Jordan name, it is true that he does not believe that LeBron James is the best ever. The ‘King’ has played more years but the way many believe that MJ has it all and that the reason he is the best is because of the way that he played. Others do stand behind James but Orton is not one of them.
