The GOAT

Fat Joe Believes Michael Jordan Is Still The GOAT Over LeBron James

by

Fat Joe just cast his vote in the long-standing GOAT debate between Michael Jordan and LeBron James. Of course, it’s a difficult question to ask, but still a fun one to answer for millions of NBA fans. Moreover, Complex caught up with the New York MC for his take on the debate at the NBA Celebrity All-Star Game. While LeBron just became the NBA’s all-time scorer, Joey Crack still stood by Jordan’s legacy in the game. Even though he made his opinion clear, he still showed a lot of love to the current Laker.

“MJ’s the GOAT,” the “Lean Back” star expressed on the red carpet of the big game. “We love LeBron. LeBron is the greatest, at this time. Actually, we worship LeBron. We love him to death, but MJ’s the GOAT.” However, Complex asked other celebrities like Cordae, who had a different perspective. “I wasn’t alive when MJ was playing,” the North Carolina rapper explained. “So I can only speak on what I’ve seen and LeBron has been doing the damn thing.” Even LeBron himself would agree. Of course, Joe’s one of the most prolific Air Jordan collectors in the rap game, so his take is unsurprising.

Meanwhile, other hip-hop figures congratulated James on passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar as the league’s all-time scorer. For example, Jay-Z gave LeBron his flowers in a tribute video played by TNT. Not only did the arguably greatest rapper of all time acknowledge the NBA star’s 20-year career, but also its unique legend status. “Being able to perform at a high level for a long period of time, you know, that’s excellence,” Hov remarked. “Long after you’ve gone, people, they’re looking at your name. That’s what greatness is. There’s not many you can compare LeBron to. 19-time All-Star, a remarkable feat. The all-time scorer, all-time. I mean, what can you say?

“I’ve known LeBron since he was in high school,” he continued. “There was a lot of talk about how amazing he was. We were convinced this guy was super special. He’s been through plenty iterations of the game, and each era, he’s been the best. The chosen one, that’s it.” Regardless of Jay’s words, let us know where you fall in that debate in the comments below.

Almost two years ago, Polo G released his second album The GOAT, and it was a project that helped boost him towards the star title he claims today. The full-length effort was highlighted by songs like “Martin & Gina,” “21,” and “33” with fellow Chicagoan Juice WRLD. However, Polo G nearly didn’t make it to the album’s spring 2020 release. According to a post he shared on Instagram, he nearly overdosed prior to shooting the music video for “Heartless” which was released with Mustard in 2019.

“Back story Fa Dat video I was Fresh out the hospital bed From almost overdosing Onnem pills,” he wrote to his followers in a post on his Instagram Story. Thankfully he was able to make a quick recovery and head back to work. “I pop right back out & Shoot Dat Video now dat Bitch Platinum w 100ms By it,” he added. This is not the first time that Polo has admitted to struggling with drugs. Back in December, he recalled a near-death experience where he almost overdosed on 17 pills.

“When I woke up, I was in the hospital,” he said according to Complex. “And my pops was just explaining to me like, ‘Yeah, man, they said you would had been here any second, even a minute later, you wouldn’t have made it. You probably could’ve passed.’” He added that he had no recollection of the incident. “They was just walking me through everything that happened that day, because I really didn’t remember at all,” he said. “I think it was like 17 pills I had took in one day, about 15 Xanax and two [Ecstasy] pills.”
