Jordan was the GOAT with the ball and taking the ball. One thing that is not debatable, Jordan was the most driven and multifaceted player ever. Mathematically he will be hard to ever beat. Clutch, ever improving career, popularity he gave the NBA, beauty in motion style, leadership, fearlessness, fearful mystique, god like aura. Hard to replicate.

Jordan is a basketball entity, above everyone else. There are players with greater records than him, yes. But he is the GOAT, because he is the reference of perfection, beauty, athleticism, lethality. He made basketball a global sport. He was the reason arenas where fully packed. By far the most influential, competitive, respected and feared basketball player in the NBA history. There is a before and after him.

[@lemuelconde]

What really separates MJ to the rest is his "Mentality".. Yes there are so many athletic nowadays, shooting, dribbling, etc.. But mental toughness is just different.

It wasnt JUST his mental toughness...he saw the rim and he got the ball there no matter what the defenders did to defend...his skill and athleticism definitely were main factors. Of course his mentality drove him to practice harder and longer. he put in the time...

[@KwizMatix]

There are 2 periods for Jordan legitimizing the GOAT debate. 1. After his first 3-Peat when he retired. Mind you, he led the league in scoring each of those years. At that point it was debatable. 2. When he returned from retirement and finalized his second 3-Peat. Mind you, he led the league in scoring each of those years as well. Closing that game with that shot on Bryan Russel, closing his career and walking off undefeated in finals appearances left no argument or doubt as to who the GOAT was. One could speculate if Jordan never retired either of those time he could have easily 4-Peated, potentially twice or even won 10 straight titles. The man literally dominated a decade.

[@antwanwilliamsAkrimoneyAkiApac]

You clearly didn't watch basketball during the eighties and nineties because you never would've made that false statement. MJ got clobbered by the pistons, knicks, celtics and others but still scored 30, 40, 50 and 60's against the opponents. He never flopped and he is smaller than LBJ. MJ was being tackled, punched, elbowed, pushed and bridged by much bigger players and he learned to overcome the physical punishment and punished his opponents by scoring whenever they would foul him. Or going to the line for free buckets. He learned to make himself unstoppable in the minds of the opposing teams by making shots that seemed impossible to make. They threw everything at him, even the kitchen sink but just kept punishing them like a real life terminator. Never seen anyone else like him.
