NBA Legends explain why Michael Jordan is the goat. NBA Legends tell stories about Michael Jordan.
Jordan began his professional basketball career when he was drafted by the Chicago Bulls in 1984. He was the third overall pick, behind Hakeem Olajuwon, who was selected first by the Houston Rockets, and Sam Bowie, taken by the Portland Trail Blazers; the draft also featured legendary players John Stockton and Charles Barkley. Jordan soon proved himself on the court. He helped the team make the playoffs and scored an average of 28.2 points per game that season. For his efforts, Jordan received the NBA Rookie of the Year Award and was selected for the All-Star Game.
While his second season was marred by injury, he was breaking new ground on the court during the 1986-87 season. He became the first player since Wilt Chamberlain to score more than 3,000 points in a single season.
By the late 1980s, the Chicago Bulls were quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, and Jordan was an instrumental part of the team's success.
The Bulls made it to the Eastern Conference Finals in 1990 and won their first NBA championship the following year by defeating the Los Angeles Lakers. Jordan was well known by then for his superior athleticism on the court and for his leadership abilities.
In 1992, the Chicago Bulls beat the Portland Trail Blazers to win their second NBA championship. The team took their third championship the following year, dominating in the basketball world.
Following a short stint in minor league baseball, in March 1995 Jordan returned to the basketball court for the Chicago Bulls. He came back even stronger the following year, averaging 30.4 points per game to lead the Bulls to a then-record 72 regular-season wins before they defeated the Seattle SuperSonics for the NBA championship.
Chicago nearly matched the previous year's record with 69 wins in 1996-97, a season that ended with a game six win over the Utah Jazz in the NBA Finals. The two teams faced each other again for the championship in 1998, with Jordan sinking the winning shot in Game 6 to claim his sixth NBA title.
Washington Wizards
After his second retirement from basketball in 1999, Jordan joined the Washington Wizards in 2000 as a part owner and as president of basketball operations.
In the fall of 2001, Jordan relinquished these roles to return to the court once more. He played for the Wizards for two seasons before retiring for good in 2003.

@@stevena.6760 Steph’s specialty being outside of the paint doesn’t mean that he doesn’t have to go into the paint. Yes people Steph’s size thrived in a league with a punishing paint, and other small players didn’t because they were “Soft.” I don’t see why John Stockton thriving in a league with a physical paint has you convinced that Steph would too. Maybe maybe not. What does Stockton have to do with Steph? Players don’t become big let downs due to softness today, because the whole game is soft. Steve Kerr shouldn’t even be mentioned alongside Steph or Stockton. Kerr couldn’t beat defenders and drive to the hoop to save his life. Therefore he was a limited specialty player. You have to be a driving threat to “Have” an outside specialty like that of Steph. Hence Steph has to go into the paint fairly regularly to be able to have the outside game that he has.

I didn't grow up in Chicago but i watched every Bulls game i could find. I thank God for cable tv and WGN. Jordan could make a 90's Bulls fan feel so safe that you could hope the other team has a good night and it's a close game going into the 4th quarter. That way it would be more exciting when Jordan takes over. You didn't hope he would dominate, you just expected it but still couldn't wait to see it.

I love Lebron’s game. But I’m also a big Jordan fan since I grew up in the 80s and 90s. There is no doubt In my mind Jordan was superior. LbJ is top 5 IMO. But there is a gap between 1 and 2 for sure. And the day Lebron came out and said that the golden state comeback made him the greatest player ever just tell diminished all facts that he is close to Jordan . If you are the greatest, you don’t need to say it. Your peers and your adversaries will say it for you.

He changed the paradigm. Bigs were seen as the best and most important part of a championship team ( Mikan, Bill, Kareem, Wilt, Malone). Even when Magic/Bird were the best they still had great big men on their teams. I could somewhat give it to IT and the Pistons but Laimbeer was a hof worthy big man himself. There’s a reason Hakeem and Sam Bowie were picked ahead of Mj, “You needed a great big to win championships” was the idea. Jordan however won 6 with Cartwright and Longley….

That is so true. I was in 6th grade when I started playing. Bird and Magic years ( I hated Bird touching the ball. Now I know why.). I remember everybody wanting to be a center. It was a big man's game. Jordan is the GOAT because he changed the entire concept of basketball. Basketball went mainstream globally. Players started to become quicker, jumped higher, and got stronger after he started lifting. All positions became more skilled. You really had to be there to understand his impact on every aspect of basketball.

You still do (need a big) the problem is that there are no bigs anymore. MJ was the anomaly. The best 3pt shooters only shoot on avg roughly 44ish%; "good" bigs can generate roughly 60 - 65% from the interior AND they shrink the Defense, i.e. Shaq kicking the ball out to Dennis Scott, or Robinson kicking it out to Vinny Del Negro/Elliot. Can't use MJ as the benchmark bc he did it vs All-Time great Bigs - without having a great big on his team. Peace!

That's why he runs all over bribing other Allstars to come play with him. Which is sad having to do that in a league with practically no damn defense!!

By nature of being vote-based, NBA awards are largely politics and popularity contests. They don't mean a player is better. A player's on court production, impact, physical abilities, skills, and success of the team he is on are what they actually are with or without an award. An award does not change, add on, or subtract from what the player actually did or caused. Awards are not facts. Awards are the result of an opinion collection. It is a fact that an award was given to a player or not, but the award itself is not a factual measure.

MJ averaged 37 PPG and 35 PPG a season and thats with less than one 3 pointer a game. And those free throws at the line were hard fouls and he still maintained a high shooting percentage. He would be untouchable in today's rules w/out hand checking, and he would have adapted to shooting threes. His first step is quicker than anyone.

I have seen plenty of the highlight clips of Jordan dunking from the baseline, from the corner, behind the net etc. But the one that blows me away is his full extension with one hand to catch that overthrown pass from Pippen along the sideline, and bring it down in one smooth motion to hit the jumper. This is amazing athleticism and body control, and he makes it seem almost effortless. He was known as the black cat because his coordination could shift so easily from smooth and fast to full power in a split second. No one could drive to the basket like Jordan and then in the last split second lay the ball in the hole with a gentle finger roll.

If it was only about making his teammates better it would Magic. If it was only about unguardable shot it would be Kareem. But if you're merging them all together it is Black Jesus. The thing I respected most about Mike is that he took his lumps (literally) and it motivated him to get better and stronger. Never did he quit nor abandon ship as quick as mechanics on RMS Titanic. Just like the The Greek Freak, he did it the right way!

There’s nothing impressive about that. But these stats nerds will count the numbers & think it was impressive when in fact all individual stats don’t share the same significance.

Even if he had wanted to make 3 point shots a bigger part of his game, he never needed to. No defensive player could ever stop him! He controlled every one-on-one matchup inside every game he played. He was also a brilliant defensive player as well. MJ is and always will be the GOAT. The other contestants are vying for second, which is an amazing accomplishment in itself.

It's not just MJ's skills, but it's his focus on the game. There was times when MJ would get after the refs, but I've seen LeBron argue with the refs while the ball is going down the court and the opposing team scores, and I've seen it more than once. I've never seen MJ give up on a play like that. LeBron is very good and plays with more power and physicality (having more mass), MJ was more like a focused ninja, razor sharp and deadly. It appears to me that MJ was more of a "I'll take care of my business" type of player, vs LeBron will complain about it to the refs. MJ = "Ok, I see how it's going to be, boom 50 and you don't score anymore tonight" LeBron = "What, why didn't you call that!" with hands in the air. In my opinion that's why Michael Jordan is the GOAT, and there will have to be somebody really special to take that from him. Or a few decades when there are only clips of the games and no actual memories of him being told.

@@carlosg3799 He was never interested in the 3pt shot, he said it hurt his game. He thought the 3pt shot was like giving no effort and thats what he disliked Clyde for. Shooting all those 3s in the playoffs was a way of teaching Clyde a lesson, as in: I can even beat you with the 3 IF I wanted to. So yes he could shoot the 3 if he wanted to, he just didnt care for it. Other than that, he didn't need a 3 to get his 40.

MJ is a miracle, an unusual phenomenon to human history, MJ changed the face of basketball to what is today, NO ONE will ever be able to do that because he already did it. MJ was, is, and will always be the greatest of all time. Nothing is ever going to change that. NBA will go on, but will never be the same without Michael Jordan THE HERO, THE GOAT, Infinite Respect and Thanks to MJ!!

MJ was the main reason why I used to watch the NBA back then (I no longer do).. he was supernatural and addictive to watch. We were always in awe.. his finesse, athletic abilities are given.. but what really is unique and why he is the goat is due to his mental tenacity which was innate. He nurtured it over time and developed an extremely competitive drive to win at any cost

Jordan is one in hundred years type of talent like Michael Phelps in swimming, Newton in classic physics, Albert Einstein in modern physics, mike Tyson in boxing, Wayne gretzky in hockey, pelle in soccer, tom Brady in football, Julius Caesar, geghis khan and Alexander the great in ruling and military. These people will emerge just once in hundreds or perhaps thousand of year time span. True Game changer.

Nobody wants to mention the fact that Jordan thrived on competition, so he needed the pushback of other players, he needed that tension, that aggression, everything that's currently missing from the NBA. I think he would wither of boredom if he had to play today's NBA. I don't think he'd play well. The better question I think would be if Michael would still be GOAT if current NBA stars had to play in his era, to which I would answer without hesitation 'No doubt.' just my 2-cents.

This is true and I have said this before will always give thanks to the bad boys Pistons and their Jordan Rules. MJ became GOAT because of bad boys Pistons to where he bulked up, and from there, the drive to be better than Magic/Bird, and the rest of the NBA, and just kept ascending from there. When there's no challenge, we wouldn't have gotten the MJ GOAT we had. So, no the current NBA will surely bore him.
