NBA Draft Prospects Name Pick For Their GOAT--It's Not Michael Jordan

While many old heads and current players will probably call Michael Jordan their GOAT, the 2024 NBA Draft class is different. For them, that title goes to LeBron James.

When recently asked by HoopsHype who their NBA GOAT is, many from the 2024 class answered LeBron, with MJ getting just one vote out of the seven players asked (at least those seen in the video).

LeBron got a total of four votes, with Los Angeles Lakers legend Kobe Bryant and superstar Kevin Durant getting one vote each as well.

To be fair, it's not a surprise why many in the 2024 NBA Draft picked LeBron James as their GOAT. These kids grew up watching the Lakers superstar dominate the NBA.

James has been in the NBA for two decades now, and most of the current draft prospects are aged between 19 to 22 years old. So when they were old enough to watch basketball, they were seeing LeBron most of the time.

LeBron has even stayed relevant today, thanks to his longevity and continued dominance. He still puts up big numbers and attracts attention like no other.

What's interesting about the 2024 NBA Draft Class is the fact that it also features the son of James himself, Bronny. It will definitely intriguing to hear who Bronny considers his GOAT.
