Mikal Bridges recently picked two members from the “Banana Boat Crew” as his favorite. This crew is a group of four close friends LeBron James, Dwyane Wade, Chris Paul, and Carmelo Anthony. They have known each other since they were teenagers and often get spotted chilling together in the offseason. Unfortunately, the four haven’t got a chance to play together in the NBA season but each of them has been impactful for their team in their way.

Dwyane Wade
The first one from the group who has retired is Dwayne. He had a very decent career. Winning three championships with legends like Shaq and LeBron James is a big achievement.

Dwayne had an average of 22.0 points, 5.4 assists, and 4.7 rebounds in his entire career.
Chris Paul
Chris is regarded as one of the strongest point guards in the league. With an average of 18.1 points, 9.5 assists, and 4.5 rebounds, Chris is yet to win a championship.
Carmelo Anthony
Anthony last played for the LA Lakers with his friend LeBron James but is a free agent in the league right now. Like Chris, Anthony, too, has not managed to win a title till now. He has an average of 22.5 points, 2.7 assists, and 6.2 rebounds.
LeBron James
Four-time MVP LeBron is one of the finest players in the league. He has won a total of four championships while playing for different teams. He has an average of 27.1 points, 7.4 assists, and 7.5 rebounds. He is already considered one of the greatest, and fans often compare him with the legendary players of the league.
Mikal Bridges picking LeBron James and Chris Paul as GOAT
In an interview, Mikal Bridges named Chris Paul as his GOAT NBA Playmaker. Mikal and Chris have been former teammates and Mikal was impressed by Chris’s style of play.
“I gotta go, former teammate, I gotta go CP, Just being around him for years and learn and watch and pick a guy’s brain like that. That’s what makes him so different because you’re like, ‘You see everything like that?’… It’s just how he sees the game, that’s what makes him a Hall of Famer and one of the best PGs of all time. It’s just his mindset and not everybody has that.”, Mikal Bridges said
The GOAT debate between LeBron James and Michael Jordan is one of the most exciting debates among NBA fans. Mikal Bridges was asked to pick one, and he, without any hesitation, picked LeBron James.
LeBron, ain’t no hesitation to that,” Bridges said.
