Jordan is the GOAT of the NBA because he brought more fans to the game than anybody else he's in rare air with.

If you were to surmise what the logo should be, it wouldn't be no fukkin sky hook or Lebron flopping around on the floor.

Kareem aint lying about Africa. I done had fam wait my black ass out and hijacked my hostel. This after finding out they sold my property behind my back 9 yeara ago. Along with the corruption ans black proxies to europeans running most countries, many of you would be disappointed if forced to spend real time there to make a living or try to build with the people there. :to:

What a trash take.

Not really.

It's just like the rings argument, they aren't the only qualifier, but the whole "well Horry >>>> Malone" as a rebuttal is a cop-out.

When you're comparing ATG talent, rings do become a means creating separation between the who's who. But people like to do it without context or nuance to get their points off.

Being the most recognizable NBA icon is a distinguishing factor among the rare air, ATG players. You can compare stats, accolades, skill set and all that and Jordan is still top 3, at WORST.

And whoever it is you're TRYING to put in front of him ain't nearly as iconic. Tell me I'm lying...and be a fukkboi and say that it being the most iconic, most responsible for the popularity of the league, on top of being one of the most skilled and dominant doesn't mean anything toward creating a distinction between who's who.

Jerry West? :mjpls:

Bill Russel? :mjgrin:

Wilt? :mjgrin:

Magic? :mjcry:

LEBRON?

The only person you can really make an argument for is Cap and all things accounted for, they got the same amount of rings and the GOAT got his stats and his rings with a higher degree of difficulty.

If you look at his whole resume, he should be the goat tbh. Hes got the rings, stats, college, and pro career. Even high school. But you know, big men will never get respected as much as guards. They'll never name a big man "the goat"

Ok.

So Jordan got the rings, stats, college shampionship too.

If he's to get the nod over him...where is the separation created? High School? Being a couple slots higher in total points with 5 extra years of PT?

He didnt match Kareem’s or Bill’s accomplishments.
:what:he has the same amount of rings as Kareem and outdoes in some areas if not match him

Bill only got the 11 on him, so thats literally only thing Jordan doesnt have
