Jay Williams thinks Lebron is the GOAT because he speaks out on social issues

quote:

---

“The lack of willingness for (Jordan) to speak out allowed a next generation to see those things and have more willingness to speak out about those things,” Williams said. "That brings me to this ultimate conversation and this is personally how I feel. This is subjective. When we consider the greatest of all-time, this is why I think LeBron James is the greatest of all-time. I think that the lack of willingness of Michael Jordan to speak out brings me to the ultimate conclusion that LeBron James, putting his career in jeopardy to speak out on things he feels is personally relevant to him and where we are … ultimately, you feel like he’s on the path.

"I like the fact LeBron James stands up and speaks out on the injustices that are happening in the world. When we talk about the greatest of all-time, I think about Muhammad Ali, Jim Brown and LeBron James. Did Michael Jordan have the greatest skill set we’ve ever seen? Yes. And championships? Yes. But ultimately when I talk about the greatest of all-time, are transcending your sport? Are you standing for something bigger than yourself, bigger than yourself and things happening in our world? LeBron James is the greatest of all-time in that regard. He is.”
