President Donald Trump<\/a> has weighed in on one of basketball\u2019s biggest debates: Who is better, LeBron James or Michael Jordan?<\/p>\n

For Trump, the answer is easy. The president is all in on Jordan.<\/p>\n

“Michael Jordan<\/a> is a guy that’s a friend of mine, play golf with him. He’s a really good guy. And I think LeBron is, maybe he’s a racist, but maybe he doesn’t like Trump, I don’t know. But I only like people that like me. So, I would say Michael Jordan all the way,” Trump said at the Oval Office on Friday.<\/p>\n

Trump was asked the James vs. Jordan question because James announced Friday that he plans to sign with the Philadelphia 76ers<\/a>. He will sign a two-year, $8 million contract, according to ESPN.<\/p>\n

Jordan played in the NBA for 15 seasons, winning six titles in his career, all of which came with the Chicago Bulls<\/a>. Jordan retired twice during his career, as he played baseball after the Bulls\u2019 first three-peat during the 1993-94 season.<\/p>\n

He returned during the 1994-95 season, and the Bulls began their second three-peat a year later during the 1995-96 season. Jordan then retired again, this time for three seasons, and spent the final two seasons of his career with the Washington Wizards<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In his career, Jordan averaged 30.1 points per game, the most in NBA history, along with 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists. The Basketball Hall of Famer made the All-Star team 14 times, won five MVPs, six NBA Finals MVPs, was a 10-time scoring champion, and made the All-Defensive Team nine times.<\/p>\n

LEBRON JAMES MAKES NBA FREE AGENCY DECISION, ANNOUNCES PLANS TO SIGN WITH 76ERS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

James is<\/a> heading into his 24th season, his first with the 76ers. He spent the first seven years of his career with the Cleveland Cavaliers, and then signed with the Miami Heat<\/a> to create “The Big 3” with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh.<\/p>\n

James won the first two of his four NBA titles with the Heat in 2011-12 and 2012-13. After four seasons with the Heat, James returned home to Cleveland.<\/p>\n

In his second stint with the Cavaliers, James led the Cavaliers to the title in 2015-16, completing a 3-1 series comeback over the Golden State Warriors. After four more seasons in Cleveland, James departed for the Los Angeles Lakers<\/a>.<\/p>\n

In eight seasons with the Lakers, James won one NBA title during the 2019-20 season. That championship was won in the bubble in Florida because of the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n

James is the NBA\u2019s leader in games played, points, most All-Star selections and All-NBA selections. He is the only player in NBA history to score more than 43,000 points and has the most 30-point games (700) of all time.<\/p>\n

He has won the MVP award four times, is a 22-time All-Star, a 21-time All-NBA selection, a four-time Finals MVP and a six-time All-Defensive Team member.<\/p>\n

In his career, he has averaged 26.8 points, 7.2 assists and 6.1 rebounds per game.<\/p>\n

Both James and Jordan have incredible r\u00e9sum\u00e9s, which has led to one of the most contentious debates in sports. But even with James\u2019 r\u00e9sum\u00e9 still growing, Trump\u2019s answer is clear: Jordan all the way.<\/p>\n
