Novak Djokovic, 38, is to tennis what LeBron James, 41, is to NBA. After securing his 24th Major title at the 2023 US Open, Djokovic famously talked about James' longevity in the NBA despite growing age.

In the GOAT debate among the NBA circles, Michael Jordan and LeBron James have consistently been taking up the first two spots, but where they rank among themselves is a never-ending back and forth.
