Michael Jordan is one of the most decorated players in NBA history with six championships, but his former agent believes he could've won several more under the right circumstances.

David Falk, who represented Jordan for his entire career, made the bold claim while weighing in on the NBA GOAT debate at Sports Business Journal's 4se conference in New York City on Tuesday.

Falk said that either Kareem Abdul-Jabbar or Kobe Bryant is second behind Jordan in his personal GOAT rankings, while LeBron James is "probably" in his top 10.

"I really like LeBron," Falk said, according to Sports Business Journal's Rob Schaefer. "But I think if Jordan had cherry-picked what teams he wanted to be on and two other superstars, he would've won 15 championships."

Jordan won all six of his championships as a member of the Chicago Bulls, leading the team to a three-peat from 1991-93 and again from 1996-98. He then spent two seasons with the Washington Wizards before retiring from the NBA in 2003.

James, who recently completed his 22nd NBA season, has won four titles with three different teams.
