My opinion says Michael Jordan is the goat because from 85 until today I haven't seen anyone better and it's not even close.

I have that Magic Johnson vs. Kevin Garnett game on VHS 📼. Magic made his HIV retirement comeback after 5 years off. He was heavy and slow, but he carved Minnesota up with his passing, and looked like Tim Duncan down low. Magic was the GOAT 🐐 player on offense to me. Still to this day. Everything was easy for him. He was deferring to the young guys and allowing Nick Van Exel to run the offense. But even still Magic kept seeing plays developing and he couldn’t help himself but to throw lobs to Eddie Jones, backdoor no look bounce passes, stuff he kept seeing that nobody else on the court could see
