After a historic Olympic run for LeBron James, A'ja Wilson and both of USA's basketball teams, Michael Jordan's ex-wife Juanita Vanoy has seemingly taken a side in the NBA 'GOAT' debate.

Reposting a picture from Team USA's Instagram page, Vanoy offered her support to LeBron James and Team USA.

LeBron James took his daughter, Zhuri, to watch Team USA's women's basketball team secure the gold medal with a 67-66 win over France at the Olympics.

Vanoy applauded James' act of taking his daughter to watch the WNBA stars secure a gold medal.

Team USA was led by A'ja Wilson, who took home MVP honors for her performance in the women's tournament at the Olympics. Wilson took home her second gold medal, averaging 18.7 points, 10.8 rebounds and 2.7 blocks per game, leading her squad to a 6-0 record in the Olympics.

LeBron James furthers 'GOAT' case with historic Olympic run

On the other side of the bracket, LeBron James led Team USA's men's basketball team to a gold medal with an undefeated record of 6-0 at the Olympics, much like the women's team.

In six games, LeBron James averaged 14.2 points, 8.5 assists and 6.8 rebounds with 1.3 steals per game, shooting 66 percent from the field at the Olympics. He took home Olympics MVP honors for his efforts.

In these Olympics, James also became the first player to post two triple-doubles at the Summer Games, with his record-breaking triple-double coming against Serbia. James posted 16 points, 10 assists and 12 rebounds in the winning effort and just the fourth triple-double in Olympics history.

Throughout the Paris Olympics, LeBron James consistently turned back the clock. He led Team USA to their fifth consecutive gold medal at the Olympics and furthered his case as the 'GOAT' of NBA history.

Being the oldest player at the Olympics in basketball, James was the unexpected leader for Team USA given the late stage of his career.
