Draymond Green says LeBron becoming the all-time leading scorer doesn't settle the GOAT debate. He argues both LeBron and Michael Jordan are GOATs in their own right, and comparing them is pointless. Just appreciate what each player brought.

Everyone talks about when LeBron passes Kareem, does that make him the GOAT? I don't think him becoming the number one scorer makes him any more of the GOAT than he already is. What I don't like to get into is like, oh, is LeBron the GOAT over Michael Jordan? No, LeBron is a GOAT and Michael Jordan's a GOAT and they're both incredible and they never played against each other. So how can we ever settle that? Like it's all subjective and I hate that in sports. No one's running around talking about, "Well, Google's a better company than Apple," or, "Apple's a better company than Amazon." No, we all just appreciate those companies for what they bring to this world. But yet we get in sports and we get in basketball and it gotta be LeBron James against Michael Jordan as the GOAT and who's the best. They're both incredible. They're both great. They're both GOATs. And so when talking about the GOAT and which one is like, man, that's bullshit. Like I respect both of those guys. I appreciate both of those guys. And at some point, I hope this world of basketball catch up and appreciate that as well. Yeah.
