During an emotional conversation with fellow wrestler Cody Rhodes, he discussed the NBA. Many people appear to like wrestling, which has grown in popularity to the point that wrestlers are vocal leaders on a variety of fronts. Sports is one of them, and the viewpoint of someone who has placed his body at risk for many years is important.
Now, what he says is quite interesting. In this occasion, WWE superstar Randy Orton discussed the age-old dispute about who the best basketball player in world history is, and he felt that simply naming who he believes is the best is insufficient.
“F*ck LeBron,” Orton stated, alluding to LeBron James, in a video aired on the WWE’s YouTube page during a sit-down with WWE champion and friend Cody Rhodes. It is safe to say who he believes is not the best. Michael Jordan might be on his list, but he’s hardly the clear number one.

“I do not believe there is a GOAT… I enjoy Mount Rushmore. I appreciate who is in your top five, ten, and twenty. Randy Orton said, “But, the GOAT, I don’t think he exists.” In his career, he has won 14 world titles, trailing only Ric Flair and John Cena, who have 16.
While Orton did not mention Michael Jordan by name, he did state that he does not believe LeBron James is the best player ever. The ‘King’ has played for more years, yet many say that MJ has it all and that his success stems from the way he played. Others do stand behind James, but Orton is not among them.
