NBA Draft prospect gives bizarre answer to GOAT question after impressing Michael Jordan

NBA Draft prospect Brandon Miller has surprised fans by naming Los Angeles Clippers star Paul George his greatest basketball player of all time. Miller did so just days after working out in front of legendary Charlotte Hornets owner Michael Jordan, who is a much more popular pick for the GOAT label than George.

Miller met Jordan at his second private workout with the Hornets and is reported to have impressed the all-time legend, according to ESPN. It was the first time he had met Jordan and Miller said: "It's exciting, you know? He's Michael Jordan. It's exciting to meet him."

The Hornets, who hold the second-overall pick, could draft Miller on Thursday night. But he risked upsetting the ultra-competitive Jordan and GOAT contender LeBron James with his comments touting George's credentials, which have caused plenty of surprise on social media.
