Simone Biles has a straight answer when asked which one does she prefer, LeBron James or Michael Jordan
Simone Biles is no stranger to handling pressure, whether it’s executing a high-stakes vault on the world stage or fielding a tough question in an interview. Recently, the gymnastics superstar faced one of the most hotly debated topics in sports: Michael Jordan or LeBron James?
During a conversation with Sports Illustrated, Biles was asked the iconic question who is the NBA GOAT: “Michael Jordan or LeBron James?” Flashing a bright smile, she answered, “I grew up on LeBron James, so I have to say… LeBron James.” Her response was direct and honest.
The interviewer didn’t stop at basketball icons, quickly steering the conversation toward other legendary athletes. “LeBron James or Diana Taurasi?” they asked. Without hesitation, Biles responded, “We’re gonna go for women’s sports, so Diana.”
The comparisons didn’t end there. When the interviewer threw Diana Taurasi into the mix against golf legend Tiger Woods, Biles stayed firm in her choice. “Again, Diana,” she said with confidence. Her unwavering support for Taurasi highlighted not only her admiration for the WNBA star but also her commitment to championing women’s sports.

The conversation took an exciting turn when Serena Williams entered the mix.

The stakes were raised further when Serena was pitted against football legend Tom Brady. Biles remained resolute, declaring, “Serena Williams!” without hesitation.
The boldest question came last: “Serena Williams or Simone Biles?” With her signature humor and humility, Biles laughed and said, “Both! We can both win, haha!”
While the GOAT debates will continue to fuel discussions in sports bars and TV panels, Biles’ thoughtful responses offered a refreshing perspective: greatness isn’t about comparisons—it’s about appreciating the unique brilliance each athlete brings to their game.
