During his career, NBA legend Reggie Miller had several battles against Chicago Bulls icon Michael Jordan. The two famously got into a fight in 1993 and faced off in the 1998 Eastern Conference Finals, a series Jordan and the Bulls won in seven games against the Indiana Pacers.
Miller retired from the NBA in 2005. He played two years against LeBron James, who entered the league in 2003 straight out of high school. The Pacers great had the privilege of playing against two of the greatest players of all time.
During a recent appearance on "All the Smoke," Miller was asked who his GOAT is between Jordan and James. The sharpshooter said James has had the greatest career of all time and Jordan is the best player of all time.
"Man, the tale gets told all the time, who’s the GOAT, who’s the greatest, between him and LeBron," Miller said. "I try to stay away from that. I played against LeBron in his rookie year. So I don’t really have a point of reference. But I will say this, LeBron has the greatest career. I say that all the time. But Michael Jordan is the best basketball player ever.
"So yeah, LeBron has the greatest career, but Mike is the best player. A lot of old heads want to dog LeBron because they were never this good this late in their careers. He’s in year 22, 40 years old, putting up 25, 8 and 8. First or second team All-NBA. Some of these guys weren’t even that good in their prime. Straight up."
