On "The Big Podcast with Shaq," Tyson didn't hesitate when asked to choose between Jordan and LeBron.
"I'm a Jordan guy," Tyson said quickly and decisively.
Tyson's view carries weight. As someone who defined an era in his own sport, he understands the impact of a true legend. His choice goes beyond just stats - it's about who changed the game and commanded respect across sports.
The debate between Jordan and LeBron fans has been going on for years. Jordan supporters point to his six championships and perfect Finals record. LeBron's fans highlight his all-time scoring record and two decades of dominance.
Tyson's pick has reignited the discussion on social media. Many think his admiration for Jordan is about more than just numbers. It's about presence, dominance, and cultural impact.
During the same podcast, Tyson didn't shy away from rating himself in boxing. When asked about the greatest boxer of all time, he confidently answered:
"Me. I'm not being egotistical. They said they know if you put up statistics. Ask the world."
Tyson's take on Jordan reminds us that greatness isn't always about numbers. It's about who changed the game, defined a generation, and earned respect from legends in other sports.
The Jordan vs. LeBron debate will likely continue. But for now, Iron Mike has made his choice clear - he's Team Jordan all the way.
