Michael Jordan explained why he shouldn't be called the GOAT: "I didn't play against all the great players prior to me"​

Story by Shane Garry Acedera • 1d

any people look up to Michael Jordan and say that he is the greatest basketball player of all time. After all, MJ transcended the sport and became its most popular player.

Michael went 6-0 in the NBA Finals and won six Finals MVP awards aside from taking home five NBA MVP awards, 10 scoring titles, and 14 All-Star selections. However, Jordan himself doesn't think that he is the GOAT.

He’s always given respect to the eras that preceded him, most notably players like Julius Erving and David Thompson.

Agree. He can be considered one of the goats.

Individualism is an American thing. Marketing is a thing too.

This is old and before LeBron came in the league. He's called himself the GOAT since then and has an edition of Jordans that literally say GREATEST OF ALL TIME. Michael Jordan isn't humble and didn't promote the players before him as much as he should have. That's why his fans only know his and Kobe's story.

Yup. Should have been understood on day one.

 

[Pimpslap Slim]

I still put him over LeBron though.

Dickeaters unite. Michael Jordan isn't special anymore kid. You white boys and old niggas the only folks still holding on to this coon fake Philly fan. Now scram before I start posting his old game articles and show why he's right, he ain't nowhere close to being no GOAT.
