Michael B Jordan: Creed Actor Snubs Messi, Names the Best Athlete of All Time

• Michael B Jordan has claimed LeBron James is the greatest athlete of all time
• James recently became the NBA's all-time leading scorer, passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar
• Athletes like Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo, Muhammad Ali, Serena Williams and Michael Jordan have a good case for that crown

With so many great athletes retiring and achieving huge milestones, the discussion about who is the greatest athlete of all time is raging.

Black Panther and Creed actor Michael B Jordan recently said that LeBron James is the greatest athlete of all time.

James recently became NBA's all-time leading scorer; Lionel Messi won the World Cup, while Novak Djokovic won the 2022 Australian Open, which saw him equal Rafael Nadal's all-time record for most Grand Slam men's singles titles with 22.

Several athletes can lay claim to the crown of G.O.A.T. Giving that crown to one athlete will be tough.
