The debate over who is the greatest of all time in the NBA, LeBron James of the Los Angeles Lakers or Michael Jordan, the Chicago Bulls legend, has been ongoing for a long time. Many current and former players and analysts have shared their opinions on who should be the ultimate NBA GOAT between these two superstars. Recently, Morris also gave his opinion.

“I say LeBron because just the longevity of the game and being able to play at that level for that long of a time. And I like Mike, and Mike was my favorite player, but I’m just saying if you asking me for longevity purposes. Everybody don’t got killer like Mike and Kobe [Bryant], so I ain’t going to say they do, but to be able to last that long and play at that high level, I’mma rock like that,” Marcus Morris said in the recent episode of Million Dollaz Worth of Game.

Morris last played for the Cleveland Cavaliers in the 2023-24 season. He played 12 games and averaged 5.8 points and 2.1 rebounds per game.
