Why isnt Magic mentioned as the pure Goat NBA Player?

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Folks I here got reading comprehension you k ow how just about majority of folks say Jordan is the pure goat.I'm saying why isn't Magic mentioned as the greatest basketball player of all time.

I don't know if I've ever heard anybody refer to Jordan as the "pure goat" before. What's the difference between goat and pure goat? Do we need to purify their achievements/stats beforehand?

Ask majority of cats in a barbershop or every basketball head you know who is the pure 100% goat of all time.I bet majority says Jordan,they won't say why besides 6 rings etc...but how many people do you know will say Magic Johnson is greatest basketball player of all time?It's like this Jerry Rice is the pure (100% without a doubt) goat wide receiver no one disputes that,just wondering why it'd always Jordan and Kareem to cats

The real reason why is because pretty much everyone can agree that Magic always had more help than Jordan and still got 1 less ring for his troubles. Jordan also managed to beat Magic for his first, and beat him in most MVP races except for 1

The majority of the world agrees that Jordan is the GOAT and some will mention Kareem,old heads will say Wilt etc..Magic can be thrown into the convo as well. Cats forget that he retired at 32 (im not counting him coming back at 36), henot retired due to the virus he would had 1-2 more rings.Plus he played in 9 NBA Finals .We know Magic achievements and his Game 7 in 80 Finals (playing center for Kareem). Now look im not saying he is better then Jordan or Kareem but why isn't he mentioned as the Goat. heads get in here and explain

Jordan had Pippen and Rodman.Magic had Worthy and Kareem.After Kareem retired he made it to the Finals.Magic it to 9 Finals that's impressive.

You are dead ass with this. No player in basketball history has a more comprehensive resume (numbers, championships, etc.) than Kareem. Russell has the titles in college and pro but not the numbers. No one else is even remotely close. This actually should be talked about more but the writers that would make it happen hated Kareem. Remember he stood with Ali as a very young man in the sixties. fukk it Kareem the GOAT black excellence bballer. Although I stanned his ass since Laney High, Jordan is a class A c00n.

Titles and accolades > individual stats

Russell made it to 12 finals in 13 years. Impressive?

Jordan, Kareem, Wilt, and Magic. But no mention of the guy with 11 rings, 5 MVPS, and the Finals MVP trophy named after him?

I swear the disrespect (subtle and blatant) when it comes to Russell in the GOAT conversation is astoundingly embarrassing.

true but I'm asking about Magic.Yeah Bill is one of the goats I give him that

 

[nomoreneveragain]

so if he didn't retire he would have beaten the Bulls in the finals or even Hakeem in the West??

He should have joined the Knicks in 93 when he had the chance

Riley/Magic/Ewing
