LA Lakers News: Chris Bosh chooses LeBron James over Michael Jordan as the G.O.A.T.

Houston Rockets v Los Angeles Lakers - Game Five

NBA legend Chris Bosh made an appearance on former Chicago Bulls player and current ESPN analyst Jay Williams' talk show this morning. The interesting part of the show came when Williams put Bosh on the spot by asking him to choose between LeBron James and Michael Jordan as the G.O.A.T.

After dodging the question for a minute, the former Toronto Raptors star said:

"I'm gonna go with Bron. One, because that's my guy, I played with him. You know he has given me many assists, many open shots. Lot of those pocket passes, pick and roll to the basket. He is a responsible for a nice portion of points I got at Miami, so i gotta go with my guy."

Chris Bosh and LeBron James spent four years with the Miami Heat, winning two NBA championships and reaching the finals every year. The two formed a 'superteam' at Miami with Dwyane Wade, and the three superstars remain close friends to this day.
