Kendrick Perkins believes LeBron James will go to great lengths to surpass Michael Jordan in the GOAT debate.
James, at 39, is the oldest player in the NBA and on Team USA for the 2024 Paris Olympic Games.
In a recent game, James led Team USA to a narrow 92-88 victory over Germany, scoring 11 of his team’s last 13 points.
Perkins remarked, “If LeBron James can get one up on Michael Jordan in that category, you best believe he’s going to do everything in his power to do that.”
