You've truly exposed yourself with this comment.... And the fact that you later declared yourself as a Knick fan, and supposedly have seen it all from him..... But yet you reduced yourself to Youtube clips/comments & wonder to yourself why he's considered thee GOD - the two don't add up.... You sound like a dude that hasn't seen anything from Mike during his playing days.... Much less seen it "all".
The fact is, the GOAT transcended to GOD status because his GOATness can not be encompassed by his highlights, his gaudy stats, his brand, his achievements (off and on the court) etc... All of those things do not even begin to tell the story of just what type of athlete that we're dealing with here. The fact that he was a renown "dirt bag", and you could actually see that manifest itself on the court - his will to win was insatiable - simply adds to the mystic.
Terrible contradictory thread...
