Does This Settle the GOAT Debate for Good?

Michael Jordan is the only player in NBA history to win All-NBA Defense 1st Team, Regular Season MVP, All-Star selection, Scoring Champion, All-NBA 1st Team, NBA Champion, and Finals MVP—all in the same season. Even more impressive, he managed to do this not just once, but four different times! Does this settle the GOAT debate once and for all? #MyNBAGOAT #NBA #MichaelJordan #Records #Sports #AirJordan

Wilt averaged 50 pt/game for a season, scored 100 points in a game, has by a tremendous margin the most 50, and 60-point games, and averaged more than 48 minutes/ game during one season. The lane was widened because of Wilt. Offensive goal-tending is a rule because of Wilt. Wilt is the GOAT. There was basketball before Sportscenter.

The only people who believe LeBron is the Goat are kids desperate for a hero that wasn't their dad's hero, or people like Nick Wright and Shannon not so Sharpe who are on Klutch Sports payroll. Anybody who saw both of these men play knows that there is absolutely zero debate about it.

Having more rings and never losing in the finals isn’t the end all be all in the goat debate. In order to lose in the finals you have to get there in the first place. Jordan played 15 years and didn’t make the finals 9 times. 1985 the bulls lost to the Bucks in the first round. 1986 they got swept in the first round by Boston. 1987 swept by Boston again in the first round. 1988,1989,1990 lost to the Pistons in the second round and in the Conference Finals twice. LeBron played in the finals his 4th year in the league with a team with no All Stars in 2007 being swept by the Spurs who were in the midst of a dynasty. 2010-2018 LeBron played in 8 straight finals. And once again in 2020. 4-6 record in the finals. MVP of every finals. Was never favored in any finals unlike MJ whose teams were always favored to win. LBJ the only player in history to average a triple double in the finals leading all players for both teams in every statistical category. I’m going with LBJ

Didn't need all that cause seeing is believing, Jordan will always be the best until someone knocks him off the top seat, Leflop taking steroids and hanging around collecting stats ain't gonna do it. Kobe is second

The Goat is not based off stats because yes Jordan is the only player to achieve those stats at that time. But now we have new scoring champions and other records broken. To be the Goat is about a specific mentality, that achieved the accomplishments.

All you have to do is watch highlights of him having 3 round boxing matches against 2guys and then dunking it! This guy got mauled all the time and still took it to the rim with no fear...

That's why it's such a debate. Jordan was a beast. Lebron is a beast. I can make arguments all day as to who is the goat.
