MJ 's thoughts are perfectly reasonable. They make a lot of sense. However........he is the G.O.A.T
🐐
If you were blessed enough to see Michael in his prime then you know. 23’s the 🐐
Trueee
MJ: “I dnt like the GOAT discussion” MJ fans: Share a clip of him saying that then have the GOAT discussion -_-
Hahahah
6 rings in 15 years and would of won 6 more if he teamed up with Shaq&Kobe Jordan is the GOAT
The king Michael
And fans will ignore it cause they don’t really care what Jordan thinks. They just wanna argue about who the best is
Yeah. That's crap. Lebron has spent 20 years NOT being Jordan. Lebron is the GOAT.
He’s the greatest player iv ever seen from 80s to now by a country mile
Jordan’s an ambassador of the game and makes a fortune selling the younger generation shoes. He’s a businessman now not a basketball player. He has zero reasons to say he’s believes he’s the goat and lots of zeros to protect by saying the right thing. He is the GOAT
It’s not about paving the way. His accomplishments were weaker, not as hard. 🤷♂️
Man we got to go watch some Jerry West clips, I hear MJ drop his name more than any other.
LeBron is the best basketball player I've ever seen but I'd never argue with someone if they think it's MJ. They both carried the league.
This right here is why he’s my G.O.A.T
this is like telling shakespeare he couldnt write theater.
No debate needed. Bron all day!!
The debate should always be the best of their era. It should be Wilt vs Russell, Magic vs Bird. Not Shaq vs Kareem or Cousy vs Curry.
Things a REAL GOAT would say for $2000.
My argument for a long time has been, there is no way to anoint one GOAT. When the current conversation does not include Wilt, it’s an unserious conversation. The only way to have the GOAT conversation is to admit GOAT has to be plural. There simply is just not ONE!
That’s difference between him n Lebron right there. Notice he doesn’t crown himself, & shows respect to those who came before & after him. Now look at how Lebron talks, and how he uses marketing to elevate him for an agenda.
As Jordan ages he becomes so much Wiser, I Love Mike
There are goats in all generations.sure one player who plays over 20 yrs is going to have the numbers does it really make him a goat.nobody remembers the 50-60’s,70-79.Russell has 11 championships rings that makes him The all-time Goat in my book.
The interview itself demonstrates why HE IS THE GOAT: Humility on top of exceptional ability. There is only one MJ and the rest are wannabes. @NBA
This is a GOAT take.
he makes a good point also about the list of the greatest players that always come out now rarely include anyone before the 1990s. How is Kareem and Bill Russell not on every single top 10 or top 15 list?
Well stated MJ
So anyways Michael Jordan is the GOAT.
True. Only Tom Brady is the goat. Everyone else has watered the saying down.
For those who didn't experience MJ in the 90s, you finally got a taste of it in Brunson. JB has shown them what being a generational clutch player does for a team. He's the most efficient clutch player since MJ. No one has come anywhere near MJ in the past 30 years. No LeBron. Not Kobe. Not Dirk. Not Duncan. No one. Now imagine JB but 4" taller with superior strength, speed, and talent to go along with DPOY skills. That was MJ. And when he turned on his clutch takeover switch there was nothing anyone could do to stop him. Kobe and LeBron never had a full clutch takeover mode. Kobe took a lot of shots in the clutch, but was never as efficient as JB, let alone MJ.
He’s just admitting later players are better than previous ones
There's nothing to talk about.
the goat label misses that every era built on the last one.
The GOAT has spoken
Spoken like a guy who knows he’s at the top and doesn’t need to say it lol
Heard. Bron da GOAT

![Michael Jordan reflects on the GOAT conversation 🤔 "The GOAT term is something I’ll never get high or low about. It just doesn’t exist for me... We paved the way for Kobe [Bryant] and LeBron [James]... I would have loved to play LeBron and Kobe in my prime... But we'll never be able to know that. Part of the marketing, part of the hype, part of the things that try to elevate one generation above the other. I think it creates animosity. I have no animosity against today's players... It's an empty comparison... I think LeBron has had an unbelievable career. I admire him for what he’s done."

Americans are coming to the ultimate realization. After the assassination of Charlie Kirk, we can no longer coexist with the Left “The more and more I see today, the more pissed off I get, and the more I see that there's no peaceful way to fix this. I've tried to think of any way that I could, and there's not. You guys created something that you don't understand. When you sit out here and celebrate the death of someone, the assassination of someone, that shows me that you are so far gone that we can't be peaceful with you anymore. And that breaks my heart. Because the thing you idiots never understood is the most dangerous thing is a man that just wanted to be left the f*ck alone. And you wouldn't leave us the f*ck alone. So we're at a point now that it's either time for all of you to sit down and shut up. Or you're going to experience something that you will never be able to fathom. The sh*t that's coming your way, it's not going to be what you think it is. This is not something that you can win. This will be one-sided and you don't have a prayer.”

He's as good as Michael Jordan on any given day. I said to Bryant yesterday,, 'it's almost like Larry Holmes and Muhammad Ali.' He looked at me and said, 'I'm not Larry Holmes.' And he is 100% right. It is two Muhammad Ali's when you talk about Jordan and Bryant." Grant Taylor (B/R 2011): "Players that come to mind are Bill Russell, Wilt Chamberlain, Jerry West, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Michael Jordan.
