Donald Trump used an odd reason to settle the GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James.
LeBron James’ free agency saga has come to an end with the 41-year-old superstar deciding to join the Philadelphia 76ers.
James will join the 76ers on a two-year, $8 million deal with a player option in his second year as he hopes to win the fifth NBA Championship of his career.
After all, it’ll get him one step closer to surpassing Michael Jordan as the GOAT of basketball. However, if there’s one person who’ll always consider MJ the GOAT is US President Donald Trump.
Donald Trump suspects LeBron James is a ‘racist’
After James’ decision to sign with Philly went viral, a reporter asked Trump about his thoughts on the move. Well, Trump immediately brought Jordan into the conversation.
“Michael Jordan is a guy that’s a friend of mine. I play golf with him. He’s a really good guy. I think LeBron is maybe he’s a racist, but maybe he doesn’t like Trump,” the US President said.
He added, “I don’t know. I only like people that like me, so I would say Michael Jordan all the way.”
Trump is known for his wild takes on, at this point, everything, but no one expected the US President to call the face of the NBA racist because he may not like him.
This is an insane thing to say, especially for a president of the country. But knowing Trump, he won’t apologize for his comments and will find another way to poke James.
