Everyone has an opinion when it comes to the GOAT debate, and Los Angeles Lakers star forward LeBron James is no different.

In a recent interview with Time magazine, James was asked for his two cents on the debate, and he shared an answer that is sure to generate some controversy.

LeBron James wouldn't take anyone over himself in GOAT debate​

“I’m not taking nobody over me,” says James. “There’s no question. But I think Mike will say the same thing. Rest his soul, Kobe will say the same thing. Magic will say the same thing. Bird will say the same thing. Shaq could say the same thing," James said.

"The late great Wilt. Kareem. I don’t think none of us are going to take somebody else. If there’s a general manager and he’s eyeballing all of us on a baseline, with the No. 1 pick, it’s gonna be hard not to take me, champ.”

Given all that he has accomplished over the course of his long and well-decorated career, James has every reason to think that he's the best player of all time. Many others would agree with him. Of course, many others would disagree, but that's what makes the debate fun and interesting.

More to come.
