As expected, LeBron James passing Kareem Abdul-Jabbar on the NBA all-time scoring list heated the best player debate. 

ESPN analyst Kendrick Perkins weighed in on Twitter shortly after James accomplished the feat. He referred to James as the G.O.A.T or greatest of all-time. 

Here's what Perkins tweeted: "I don’t wanna hear shit! I’m not debating a damn thing when it comes to the GOAT. Old heads, haters, trolls… sit this one out! I always believed but now it’s concrete and nothing left to discuss… Carry. The. Hell. ON! Congratulations my brother @KingJames."

James is widely in the discussion with former Chicago Bulls star Michael Jordan, who won six championships and considered the best scorer in league history. James has won four titles but has lost six times in 10 Finals appearances. Jordan was undefeated, giving fans reason to choose him as the greatest.
