Fox News senior White House correspondent Peter Doocy asked Trump to settle the LeBron vs. Michael Jordan debate, prompted by James’s announcement that he is signing with the Philadelphia 76ers.<\/p>\n

Doocy wanted to know Trump where he stood on LeBron versus Jordan as the greatest player of all time.<\/p>\n

“Well, Michael Jordan is a guy that’s a friend of mine, playing golf with him. He’s a really good guy,” Trump said. “And I think LeBron is \u2014 maybe he’s a racist, but maybe he doesn’t like Trump. I don’t know. But I only like people that like me, so I would say Michael Jordan all the way.”<\/p>\n

Back in August 2018, after James told CNN’s Don Lemon that Trump was using sports to divide the country, Trump fired back on X with a midnight post questioning James’s intelligence.<\/p>\n

“LeBron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made LeBron look smart, which isn’t easy to do. I like Mike!” Trump wrote.<\/p>\n

“I support LJ,” Jordan said in a statement at the time. “He’s doing an amazing job for his community.”<\/p>\n

James had first gone after Trump a year before that, in September 2017, after Trump rescinded the Golden State Warriors’ White House invitation over Stephen Curry’s reluctance to attend.<\/p>\n

“U bum @StephenCurry30 already said he ain’t going! So therefore ain’t no invite. Going to White House was a great honor until you showed up!” James wrote on X. According to Twitter, it was the most retweeted post by any athlete that year.<\/p>\n

James, who turns 42 in December, signed a two-year, $8 million deal with the 76ers.<\/p>\n
