A few weeks ago, Lebron James passed Michael Jordan in playoff points, and a marked few started once again buzzing about King James’ claim to the GOAT throne. There is one argument that can put an end of to this – the number of people, fans and experts alike who regard Jordan as the GOAT. He has had an overwhelming majority consider him to be the greatest in basketball history, a recognition no one before him, or since attained.

We can talk about skills ‘til the cows come home, and they both had their strengths and weaknesses. But where MJ really excels is at the mental aspect of the game. He is cold, calculating, and could beat any team if he wanted to. And his mental fortitude is one of the toughest in the game.
Another huge advantage MJ has over most GOAT candidates is with his charisma. No other player has as huge a following, and has had more people wear his signature shoes. Jordan probably has more fans than any other player in the league past or present.
Sure, people will have different ideas as to who really holds the title of GOAT, but 7 out of 10 people who’ve watched the game and enjoyed it will probably give you one name – and it isn’t Lebron James.
