50+ Moments and Stats That Prove Michael Jordan is the GOAT

And that’s not including the overwhelming number of modern-day players who openly stated that MJ is the GOAT. We’re talking Kevin Durant, Charles Barkley, Shaq, Allen Iverson, Kevin Garnett, Zion Williamson, Luka Dončić, and Damian Lillard.

Everyone else who chose LeBron or Kobe over MJ really needs to rethink their choice. We’re not saying LBJ and Kobe are bad—in fact, they were just as impactful as MJ was during the heights of their respective careers—but c’mon! MJ wasn’t a ball hog like the Black Mamba, and he didn’t win an Oscar like LeBron. If you’re wondering what kind of Oscar we’re talking about, we mean the Oscar you get for flopping on the court.
