The professional wrestler chimed in on discussions about the greatest player in NBA history by making it clear that he does not believe LeBron James should hold the title.
The debate over the NBA's greatest player of all-time continues to be a hot topic. Michael Jordan and LeBron James are typically the two names that sports fans bring up during discussions about the best player in history. When the conversation surrounding the league's GOAT was recently mentioned to WWE star Randy Orton, he made it clear who he does not support. 'F--k LeBron,' Orton said in a video posted to the WWE's YouTube channel during a sit down with Cody Rhodes.
Rhodes brought up the James vs. Jordan debate as he transitioned to a question about WWE's GOAT. 'How do you feel knowing you're in that conversation?' Rhodes asked Orton. 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,' Orton responded. Orton has 14 world title reigns. 'The Nature Boy' Ric Flair and John Cena sit atop the WWE world title reigns all-time list with 16 reigns each. However, Orton's 14 reigns leads all active wrestlers.
By comparison, James is a four-time NBA champion and has been named an NBA Finals MVP on four occasions. He broke Kareem Abdul-Jabbar's all-time scoring record last year. James earned his third Olympic gold medal last week when Team USA defeated France at the Summer Games in Paris.
