Okay, so I’ve been seeing this “Jordan is the GOAT” debate everywhere online, and honestly, I never really got it. I mean, I knew he was good, obviously, but the greatest? I decided to actually look into it, instead of just scrolling past the arguments.
Digging into the Stats
First thing I did? Straight to the stats. I’m no basketball expert, but numbers don’t lie, right? I started with the basics – points per game, championships, MVPs. That kind of stuff.
- Championships: 6 rings! Dude won 6 NBA Championships.
- Finals MVP: 6 Finals MVP awards. He always showed up,every single time.
- Regular Season MVP: 5 Regular Season MVP awards.
- Scoring Titles: 10 scoring titles! 10!
I began to explore various data and found it very * I went down a bit of a rabbit hole. I was checking out his playoff performances, comparing them to other players, past and present. And the deeper I went, the more impressive it got. He wasn’t just winning; he was dominating.
Watching the Highlights(For Hours)
Then, I did what any reasonable person would do: I spent hours watching Jordan highlights on the internet. I started with those classic Bulls games, the ones everyone talks about. I am watching the moves, the intensity, the clutchness.
I mean, it wasn’t just that he was scoring; it was how he was scoring. The fadeaways, the drives to the basket, the sheer athleticism… it was all pretty wild. I began watching those famous games again, and I finally understood.
Reading the Stories
The last thing I did was read a couple of articles, old interviews, anything I could find that gave me some insight into Jordan’s mentality. What made this guy tick?And I saw many stories talking about his competitiveness, his work ethic, his relentless drive to win.
And every single one of those stories made it clear: this wasn’t just about talent. This was about a level of dedication and focus that, frankly, I found kind of intimidating.
So, after all this, am I convinced? Yeah, I think I am. I went in a skeptic, and I came out a believer. The numbers, the highlights, the stories… it all adds up. I started watching random games and looking up stats, and the more I saw, the more obvious it became:The guy earned his title. Jordan really is the GOAT.
