“Ray Allen acting like LeBron won’t windmill 360 on his a**”, "Allen's logic is watery as f**k it doesn't even meet the criteria for a casual take”- Fans mock Allen’s comments on LeBron James' GOAT status
LeBron James' former teammate with the Miami Heat, Ray Allen, surprised many with his opinion on the GOAT debate. Allen has always maintained that Michael Jordan is the greatest for him. However, many fans deemed his latest take on the criteria to become the GOAT as absurd.
Here's what Allen said to a few fans when explaining his reasons behind picking Jordan over James:
“Is he a great free-throw shooter? Is he a great 3-point shooter? Is he a great dribbler? So, you’re saying the GOAT, and he ain’t even great in all of them categories?”

No player has ever managed to master every category. Several players in the top-10 list of all-time are one-dimensional. Meanwhile, LeBron James is considered a better all-around player than Michael Jordan.
James is a better rebounder and passer compared to the Chicago Bulls legend. MJ bests James in terms of scoring and efficiency as a free-throw shooter.
Fans seemed puzzled by Ray Allen's opinion as Jordan wasn't among the best 3-point shooters in the league. MJ wasn't known to be a playmaker, either. Jordan and James are arguably equally good with their handles, and that conversation is up for debate.
Considering these criteria and that Ray Allen won a championship with LeBron James, fans took to Twitter to mock the Hall of Famer for his bold take on 'King James' GOAT status.
