Michael Jordan, LeBron James, Kobe Bryant – three of the greatest players of all time to ever play in the NBA. The debate for the best out of the three is never-ending. Most probably, all the professionals from both the NBA and WNBA have been asked this question many times.
Sometimes, the question is between Michael Jordan and LeBron James, while at times, Kobe Bryant is also included in the mix. Ranking the three greatest to ever do it often invites a lot of debate. Recently, WNBA legend Candace Parker voiced her opinion on the three.

“I believe that if you are the blueprint, then you are what everyone is trying to copy. And I grew up in the Chicago land and MJ was like all of those things. And so I would say MJ 1, Kobe 2, Bron 3. And I know I’m going to get killed being out,” Candace Parker ranked the three.
“Let’s put it in perspective though. Bron is Karl Malone’s size doing the things that he does. And I just am enamored by how he has continued to reinvent his game, continued dominance, all of those things. So, hats off, respect to Bron. I just idolize the little like footwork and the like critique and all that. And you could just tell like Kobe was the blueprint too of a blueprint,” Candace explained.
She continued to share the time she spent working in the gym. She shared how meticulously Kobe saw the game and asked questions that she had never been asked. She admitted how she is a student of the game, and she geeks over such stuff.
It came as a surprise to many as she kept LeBron James at 3rd. $170 million worth Hollywood superstar Jamie Foxx also shared his disbelief rather erratically. He commented 4 times under the post to show his support for LeBron James.
“6ix9ine, 265 pounds,” he commented. “Playoff five positions… Well”, “42,000 points”, “Oh, and I forgot to add this he’s still playing,” and then some. He didn’t hesitate at all to show how much he disagreed with Candace Parker.
Fans React to Candace Parker Ranking Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, LeBron James
Fans were divided as expected. But many fans agreed with Candace Parker and not with Jamie Foxx.
“If you ever played basket ball you understand why all the players and legends rank it : 1. Jordan 2. Kobe 3. LeBron,” one fan agreed.
“Only right order if we’re being serious,” one fan stated.
“Agreed but I respect others opinions,” another commented.
“Can’t build NOTHIN without the blueprint,” one fan claimed.
“Bron. Kobe. MJ. In the world we live in now,” one fan gave his rankings.
“Bron never copied those blueprints. He created his own,” another said.
“So how is Bron not the GOAT,” one fan wondered.
