The Unanimous Greatest of all time 🐐ever. The Back-to-back Gold Olympics Medal. The Double Grand Slam. First men of table tennis history that can make them.

[@dianli7981]

The Dragon made another legendary at Tokyo Olympic. Congrats! Ma Long, the GOAT!

[@kennethclark1583]

Ma long is like that perfect most ideal big brother figure, so warm-hearted and reliable in any situation able to turn himself into that ruthless winning machine taking care of business when it matters most. Knowing not just for him oneself but people behind as well even the man is in a class of his own. Such perfect player we may never see again decade after decade🥺🥺

[@meghdeeplaha9861]

A born legend😎

[@ajitkumarbehera4965]

He is indeed not just the GOAT but the God among men in TT. No body plays as beautifully n fiercely at the same time like Ma does. Fan or any other future player may break some of his records but (no offence) none can play with the rhythm like Ma. The service setup, the control, the forehand n counter forehand loop, the chop block and the controlled error free backhand of Ma is simply out of the world. He is not once in a generation player, he is once in a lifetime player. TT will loss its charm once he stops playing.

[@aftabalamism]

Ma Long would be the most appreciated player even if he doesn't claim the title!

[@egyptiancuber]
