LaVar Ball Says LeBron James Winning Championship With Lakers Is Only Way He Can Top Michael Jordan

LaVar Ball has made a lot of bold proclamations since stepping into the media spotlight, but even his most ardent followers might have a hard time following his latest one given the degree of certainty with which Michael Jordan, and not LeBron James, is widely considered to be the best player of all-time.

Ball doesn’t dispute that in his latest remarks, but the man who once claimed he could’ve beat Jordan one-on-one thinks that James could surpass the Hall-of-Famer and nearly undisputed GOAT if he does one simple thing: Join the Lakers in free agency this summer.

How would that help elevate James above Jordan?
