Antetokounmpo discussed James and revealed the NBA’s all-time leading scorer is the player he enjoys watching the most.
“The person I like to watch a lot is LeBron James,” Antetokounmpo said.
As for who the greatest of all-time is, he put Michael Jordan and James at the top. Antetokounmpo said it was unfair to compare eras, but he sees Jordan and James as the greatest basketball players ever.
Later in the stream, Antetokounmpo was directly asked whether he’d like to team up with James. The Heat superstar offered a cryptic response and simply shrugged his shoulders.
The Miami Heat traded for Antetokounmpo last month in a blockbuster trade that sent Tyler Herro, Kel’el Ware, Jaime Jaquez Jr., and multiple draft picks to the Milwaukee Bucks.
The two-time MVP’s arrival to Miami signaled a new era for the Heat after missing the playoffs last season and making a first round exit during the 2024-25 campaign.
But Antetokounmpo could use another star in the lineup. While the 31-year-old went to a better city and franchise, he’s landed in a similar situation basketball-wise. Miami’s frontcourt will be strong with Bam Adebayo and Antetokounmpo, but the team lacks depth and athleticism.
Landing James wouldn’t solve all of Miami’s problems, but it would certainly change the optics on the Heat entering the 2026-27 season.
James is reportedly considering the Heat as a free agent destination, but his decision remains the biggest question mark of the summer.
