Denzel Washington on LeBron James & Michael Jordan

Denzel is a class act. You never hear anything bad about him. Great actor, Great man.

[radinsyah]

Curious. Who’s the greatest ever? And he brought up an MJ story.

[phronesisolamide]

He smartly answered the question by telling a story. You need a brain to notice. LeBron is a Lakers now, of course he wouldn't outrightly says MJ

[fwiedwice]

Gotta love Denzel man...everything he does is great

[YourHomieHenry]

Denzel is so well composed. I admire his magnetism.

[Wis_Dom]

Denzell can't say it, because he's a true hardcore Lakers fan...but he feels it, so that's all that matters. lol!

[sisiphomatyila]

Friendly reminder, he is 63 years old.

[richardjackson]

Smart man lol. Denzel didn't want to get into trouble because he lives in LA and runs in the same circles as Magic, LeBron and the Lakers, but he quietly said it was Micheal Jordan with that story. We all know MJ is the 🐐 and it's not even close.

[JohnWick-klef]

"Greatest at what ??"
"Basketball" Lamo

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[kachanakasulu]

Denzel answered the question by subtly telling the story and facial expressing his answer through silence.

[garmater]

I'm afraid this title is misleading. This is Denzel MOTHERFUCKING Washington, just had to let it out there.

[angelsandoval]

His eyes and grin told the answer, MJ = the GOAT

[josiahmcctchn]

Denzel knows MJ all day. Just can't say it
Lol. Love Denzel! He's a goat also

[guilhermeabreu]

MJ was diferent. The way he moves, his confidence, his style, it s dificult to compare him to any other player: even Lebron, or KB. Lebron make things that MJ perhaps could nt do it, but MJ had something in his game impossible to explain, his basketball was Poetry.

[paulpolpiboon]

Good answer Denzel!! Sayin it but without sayin it, class act

[f.l.]

Just remember that MJ played during the toughest & ruffest time in basketball. In 80s & 90s defense was completely different & much harder, which the most players of today wouldnt be able to handle. MJ is by far the best! Since he proved to be the best over the toughest decades in NBA Basketball! See Red, Bulls4ever

[Rich]

Jimmy: "So maybe he's the greatest of all time?"
**Awkward smile and pause**
Denzel: "He was that night."
😂😂

[davidwhite]

Jordan is famous, I know Denzel has presence but when Jordan walks in the room at 6'6 I can see him getting the most attention above anybody...except the other MJ

[vinceniederman]

“At What”? “Basketball” Hahahahaha Gotta Love The Humor Denzel and Jimmy Have Here!

[claudemirsilva]

Before I die, I really hope one day to meet Mr Denzel Washington in person and give him a huge hug.
