Michael Jordan’s perfect response that ended the GOAT debate in the NBA
“I think that’s something that I can’t really say that can be established. We each play in different eras, with different teams, with different levels of success and comparing them all and saying one is better than the other is unfair justice to art or artists. You know, being Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain and all the guys before me were the artists of this basketball game, and we’ve all learned from them, and we’ve improved the image to some degree and say one improvement is better than all of that. It’s an unfair assessment.” said Michael Jordan on the GOAT at the press conference Chicago Bulls on April 16, 1996.
