Born in February 1999, Luka Doncic therefore did not experience the heyday of the Bulls and Michael Jordan. This did not prevent him from being questioned about the famous and endless GOAT debate, nor from delivering an answer without expressing any great hesitation.
Even if he already embodies the present of the league, he undoubtedly places himself as one of its headliners in the long term. At only 24 years old, Luka Doncic symbolizes the new golden generation of the NBA. However, before completely taking over the reins, he must already face resistance from his prestigious elders. To start with LeBron Jamesto whom he has great respect:

Luka Doncic’s clear opinion on the GOAT
In five seasons spent across the Atlantic, Doncic has already had the opportunity to face LeBron 11 times. He was therefore able to see his incredible level with his own eyes. On the other hand, he was not born when Michael Jordan splashed the floors with his talent under the colors of the Bulls. And yet, it is the latter that he favored when choosing the best player of all time in his eyes:

Oh man… Well, it’s MJ. The greatest player in history in my opinion is MJ.
Almost jaded at having to give his opinion on this endless discussion, the Mavericks prodigy did not procrastinate before opting for Jordan. It must be said that his contractual situation strongly encouraged him to make this choice.
Indeed, at the end of his rookie season, Luka rejected several offers to sign with Jordan Brand and become one of its muses. Four years later, he received his first signature pair, which he now proudly displays on the pitch. As such, he owes a certain recognition and could well grant this honorary title to MJ, who has been indirectly filling his bank account for years.
Not necessarily very excited about the idea of positioning himself in the GOAT debate, Luka Doncic nevertheless complied and preferred Michael Jordan to LeBron James. A new prestigious name to add to the list of His Airness admirers!
