The debate over who is the greatest NBA player of all time remains a hot topic. Michael Jordan and LeBron James are the two names that sports fans often bring up during discussions about the greatest player of all time.
When WWE star Randy Orton was recently brought up on the conversation surrounding the league's GOAT, he made it clear who he doesn't support.
“Fuck LeBron,” Orton said in a video posted to WWE's YouTube channel during an interview with Cody Rhodes.

“I don't think there's a GOAT… I like Mount Rushmore. I like who's in your top five, top 10, even top 20. But, the GOAT, I don't think there's a GOAT,” Orton responded.

Orton has 14 world title reigns. “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair and John Cena lead the all-time WWE world title reigns list with 16 reigns each. However, Orton's 14 reigns lead all active wrestlers.
Orton did not directly name Jordan as the best player in the NBA, leaving it unclear whether he dislikes the Los Angeles Lakers star or believes the Chicago Bulls legend was simply a superior player.
