Dana White can only choose one.
The recent playoff elimination of LeBron James and the Los Angeles Lakers by the Denver Nuggets reignited the never-ending debate on who the NBA’s GOAT is between him and Michael Jordan.
This prompted Dana White to share his surprising input on the matter during an interview with Barstool Sports’ Robbie Fox. When asked about who would emerge victorious in a hypothetical Power Slap showdown between the two legends, White chose Michael Jordan due to his killer instinct and overall standout performances in the league.
”Michael Jordan [would win],” White said. “Listen, I respect LeBron and what he has done and who he is as an athlete. Never in trouble. Always there for the games. Makes a big difference when he’s on a team. You feel the difference when he’s on a team. But Jordan is my all-time [favorite player]. And I’m a Celtics guy, but Jordan is a f–––––– killer. Jordan is a killer.”

Although James may have the size advantage, White believes Jordan’s competitiveness would translate well in any sports challenge. His pick adds to the list of reasons why many would argue that Jordan wins over James for the ultimate title of the NBA’s GOAT.
