<p>For the past couple of decades, there has been a never-ending debate about who’s the greatest athlete of all time, or – as younger fans would say – <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/sports/what-does-the-goat-mean-in-sports-20201229-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>the GOAT</strong></a>. Among the candidates, we’ve often heard names like <strong>Roger Federer, Muhammad Ali, Wayne Gretzky, Babe Ruth;</strong> and – obviously – <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/tom-brady-t75921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Tom Brady</a> and <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan.</a></strong></p>
<p>Jordan and Brady have gone back-and-forth<strong> on their GOAT status </strong>throughout the yearsbut they’re two of the most likely athletes to be at the top of the list, according to most insiders, analysts, and even the fans.</p>
<p>But now, after what Tom Brady was able to do with the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/tampa-bay-buccaneers-t92317" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Tampa Bay Buccaneers</strong> </a>at the ripe age of 43 years old, it seems like he’s finally taken a step forward in the GOAT conversation, even ahead of Michael Jordan.<span></span></p>

<p>Brady led the Buccaneers to the Super Bowl after beating the <strong>Green Bay Packers </strong>on Sunday. He’ll now play in his 10th Super Bowl in 20 seasons (19 healthy) as a starter, which means he’s most likely to play in the ultimate game than Michael Jordan to hit a shot:</p>

The stat that proves Tom Brady is the ultimate GOAT ahead of Michael Jordan - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/luka-doncic-t118703" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Luka Doncic</strong></a> has made a big impact in the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> since the very moment he entered the league back in 2018. The Slovenian player has been a blessing for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Dallas Mavericks</strong></a> and he’s set to lead his team to win a championship in upcoming seasons.</p>
<p>The young player has a bright future ahead and one can only wonder where his roof is or what he will achieve with the Mavs in the future. Luka is only 21 and is already doing historical things in the league. What’s next for him? Nobody knows.</p>
<p>Still, we can see some similarities between him and some of the greatest players in NBA history to see what Luka can do in his career. He’s been labeled as the “next <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a>” and more, but more recently, he was compared to arguably the greatest player of all time.</p>

<h2>Rick Carlisle compares Luka Doncic to Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant and more</h2>
<p>Dallas Mavericks’ head coach Rick Carlisle has compared his star player to three of the greatest players of all time, <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, given the similarities between their personalities and how they can impact the game.</p>
<p>During a recent interview, Carlisle made the comparison between his pupil and the three legends, stating that his imagination is incredible, which reminds him of Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p><em>“This is what great players and some of the savant thinkers that we’ve seen in the history of this game (do). You’re talking about guys like Bird, Magic, Jordan were very similar. LeBron James, I’m sure Kobe Bryant was a lot like this too. But as time moves along, the level of growth is really there in all areas from skill refinement to leadership on the floor in games and in practice.”</em></p>
<p>Doncic was a finalist for the 2020 MIP award last season and this one he’s seen as the favorite to win the 2021 NBA MVP, according to oddsmakers. The Slovenian is trying to create a legacy in the league and, as stated before, nobody knows where his improvement will stop.</p>

For Curry it was a career best and vindication of his talents after his recent bouts with injury that kept him sidelined for most of 2020.</p>
<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/stephen-curry-explodes-for-a-career-high-62-points-funniest-memes-and-reactions-20210104-0005.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Stephen Curry</strong> scored nearly 50 percent of his teams total </a>against the Trail Blazersand broke his own personal record that he established in 2013. Curry scored 54 points against the Knicks, until his massive performance against Portland.</p>
<p><strong>Curry’s 62 points</strong> put him at 34th in the all-time list of great NBA players who have scored the most points in a single game. The list is mostly dominated by Wilt Chamberlain, who broke every scoring record imaginable in <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> history.</p>

<h2>Who has scored the most points in an NBA game?</h2>
<p>That honor goes to <strong>Wilt Chamberlain, who scored 100 points in a single game</strong> against the New York Knicks in 1962. Chamberlain’s 100 points is seconded by the late great Kobe Bryant who scored an amazing 81 points in 2006 against the Toronto Raptors. David Thompson scored 73 in 1978, although his record is tied with Chamberlain.</p>

<p>The admiral David Robinson scored 71 points in 1994 and Elgin Baylor did the same in 1960.Devin Booker hit for 70 in 2017, while the great Michael Jordan scored 69 points in 1990 against the Cleveland Cavaliers, but before that scored 63 points in 1986.</p>

Who scored the most points in an NBA game?

Who scored the most points in an NBA game? - Bolavip US

<p>Crazy as it may seem, evenbefore he made it to the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> in 2003, people were already talking about whether <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong> </a>was destined to become the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>greatest player of all-time</strong></a> ahead of<strong> Michael Jordan.</strong></p>
<p>Fast forward 18 seasons and people still question <strong>who <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/sports/what-does-the-goat-mean-in-sports-20201229-0009.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the GOAT</a> is.</strong> Some believe that <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a> is the undisputed deserver of that distinction, while others add that LeBron James has already done enough to take him down.</p>
<p>Needless to say, these subjectivedebates are unlikely to be settled any time soon. However, NBA Hall of Famer <strong>Shaquille O’Neal</strong> claims that he knows just what James needs to do if he wants to put this conversation to an end.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Shaquille O’Neal Says LeBron James Must Tie Michael Jordan In Rings To Be The GOAT</h2>
<p>According to<em> The Big Diesel, </em>LeBron James needs to tie Michael Jordan in rings and win at least<strong> 6 NBA Championships. </strong>Then, and only then, his haters will have nothing else to call him out for:</p>
<p><em>“I think LeBron James is looking to tie Kobe and tie Jordan with championships.I<strong>f he tied Mike, I think people will probably lean a little bit more towards LeBron being the best player in the world</strong>. He already passed Kobe and Jordan in points (…) he’s gonna be creeping on Kareem [Abdul-Jabbar] too. I think he’s looking to pass Kareem,”</em> Shaq said on the<strong> All Things Covered podcast.</strong></p>
<p>Well, that makes sense. The biggest knock on James has always been his losing record in the NBA Finals, so perhaps tying Michael Jordan in silverware <strong>would be just enough to finally be the unanimous GOAT.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>At the end of the day, true basketball fans won’t engage in these kinds of debates. I mean, what’s important is to witness and enjoy greatness while you still can, <strong>regardless of who’s better than who.</strong></p>

Shaq reveals what LeBron James needs to do to pass Michael Jordan as the GOAT - Bolavip US

<p><strong>The shooting guard is perhaps the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a>‘s most flashy spot. </strong>We have seen some of the NBA’s most impressive scorers start at a double-guard stage and <strong>Michael Jordan </strong>and <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong> are obviously leading the way.</p>
<p>Countless individual achievements and team rewards were won by the best shooting guards in NBA history. After all, MJand Kobehave certainly made the place incredibly popular for the two best perimeter scores of all times.</p>
<p>But also stars like <strong>Jerry West </strong>and <strong>Dwyane Wade</strong> won many awards and NBA titles, which brings fans all over the world a lot of excitement. The changing essence of the NBA will certainly make it even more difficult torankplayers in the future. For now, let’s take a look at the <strong>Top 13 Shooting Guards of All-Time.</strong></p>
<h2>13. Pete Maravich</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_pete_maravich_in_action.jpg_20222851_d474deed.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Pete Maravich in action   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>One of the most skillful and efficient NBA types in history may have been the play style of Maravich. The unorthodox style of Maravich contributed to five full-star picks, four-team contributions, and a total of 31.1 points per game in 1976. Maravich never won the NBA, but after his outstanding career, he was named to the NBA Hall of Fame.</p>
<h2>12. Allen Iverson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_allen_iverson_of_the_philadelphia_76ers_gestures_to_hear_cheers_from_the_against_the_washington_wizards__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_7b599f16.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Allen Iverson of the Philadelphia 76ers gestures to hear cheers from the against the Washington Wizards. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Allen Iverson is one of the most famous shooting guards of all time. While he didn’t win an NBA championship, he took a rather non-top team to the NBA Finals and triumphed in his first match with Shaquille O’Neal and Kobe Bryant in favor of the Los Angeles Lakers.</p>
<p>Iverson is one of the greatest scorers ever to play and perhaps the best man ever to play. Iverson’s one thing as a player was that he never had a fantastic team behind him to propel him into an NBA championship.</p>
<h2>11. Klay Thompson</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_klay_thompson_of_the_golden_state_warriors_reacts_against_the_phoenix_suns__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_e48de260.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Klay Thompson of the Golden State Warriors reacts against the Phoenix Suns. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Klay Thompson is one of the Splash Brothers and one of the finest shooters in the history of the NBA. Thompson has hit the leaderboard with three points in just eight seasons and is 18th in his career (1,798). In 2015 he earned 37 points in one quarter, as against the Sacramento Kings Thompson has also one of the most spectacular records for NBA.</p>
<p>Also one of the best winners in the league, the five-time All-Star made the all-defensive team for the 2018 season. Thompson transformed the atmosphere of the Warriors’ franchise along with Stephen Curry and Draymond Green, helping the team capture three championships over the last five years.</p>
<h2>10. Reggie Miller</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_reggie_miller_of_the_indiana_pacers_stands_on_the_court_during_the_game_against_the_toronto_raptors__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_89a90ccc.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Reggie Miller of the Indiana Pacers stands on the court during the game against the Toronto Raptors. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The shooting skills were Reggie Miller’s tag line. Miller ended his career with the second most effective career, shot just under 40% of the three for his career (39.5 percent). He was an excellent free-throw shooter, in addition to his 3-point score ability (88.8 FT percentage of career), and was five times in free-throwing position.</p>
<p>He made five All-Star games and was a three-time selection on All-NBA teams. An 18.2-point average scoring career helped Miller end his career with the 21st largest in the history of the league.</p>
<h2>9. George Gervin</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_head_coach_george_gervin_of_the_ghost_ballers_watches_his_team_play_the_aliens__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_e92e33fa.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Head coach George Gervin of the Ghost Ballers watches his team play the Aliens. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Gervin was one of the most popular scorers in the history of the league but he was one of the coolest players ever seen in the game. He was called “The Iceman” for that reason. His finger roll was his trademark shot and nobody did it better.</p>
<p>He easily could go past the defenders, and they somehow couldn’t deter him, even though they were conscious that the finger roll would happen. The Iceman scored 27.2, 29.6, 33.1, 27.1, 32.3, 26.2, and 25.9 points per game over 7 years. These are some of every player of the 72-year history of the league’s greatest marking seasons.</p>
<h2>8. Clyde Drexler</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_commissioner_clyde_drexler_looks_on_during_week_one_of_the_big3_three_on_three_basketball_league__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_5a480ea9.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Commissioner Clyde Drexler looks on during week one of the BIG3 three on three basketball league. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Known as a Portland Trailblazer legend, Drexler was one of NBA’s most prolific scorers of all time. In 1983, he entered the NBA and scored more than 20 points in nine of his 16 seasons in the NBA.</p>
<p>Drexler took part in the 10 all-star game shows, in 5 teams chosen from the all-NBA, and won the Houston Rockets championship in 1994.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<h2>7. James Harden</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_james_harden_of_the_houston_rockets_reacts_to_a_three-point_shot_against_the_phoenix_suns__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_118f4f4b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    James Harden of the Houston Rockets reacts to a three-point shot against the Phoenix Suns. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Harden has been one of the league’s top scorers over the past five seasons. The two-time scoring champion had three straight seasons, averaging at least thirty points, all the more than the players on my list.</p>
<p>The 2011 Sixth Man of the Year made the transition from a rotation player to a powerhouse in less than a decade, and Harden’s supremacy was on full display during the 2017-18 season as he received the MVP trophy. In addition to his score, Harden is an outstanding player as he led the league in assists in 2016 and has six straight seasons with seven or more assists per game.</p>
<h2>6. Manu Ginobili</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_manu_ginobili_of_the_san_antonio_spurs_reacts_after_making_a_basket_against_the_miami_heat__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_88cbcc2e.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Manu Ginobili of the San Antonio Spurs reacts after making a basket against the Miami Heat. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The sharp left-handed Ginobili is one of the best foreign players in the history of the league and was a big part of the success of the San Antonio Spurs in the early 2000s and the late 2010s. Ginobili joined the NBA in 2002 and was a little raw until he was completely etched on Greg Popovich’s scheme.</p>
<p>Come the end of his career, Ginóbili was a two-time All-Star, a sixth Man of the Year, and a four-time NBA Winner. His effect on winning well surpassed his 13.3-point score average subpar, as he was the backbone of the Paddy franchise, which created regular winning seasons during his tenure with the team.</p>
<h2>5. Ray Allen</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_ray_allen_of_the_boston_celtics_reacts_in_the_fourth_quarter_against_the_miami_heat__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_c560fd2b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Ray Allen of the Boston Celtics reacts in the fourth quarter against the Miami Heat. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Ray Allen, one of the best pure shooters in the league, is also the number one all-time three-pointer with 2,973 in his career. He had an all-around game that was all you could wish for from your shooting guard, and more.</p>
<p>He was an agile guard who could drive and dunk almost anybody. Since he was still lethal from the three-point line, the defenders did not know whether to take the three-point shot away or hold him away from the road.</p>
<h2>4. Jerry West</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_golden_state_warriors_executive_board_member_jerry_west_sits_on_the_bench_by_nba_logos__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_04ed1da3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Golden State Warriors executive board member Jerry West sits on the bench by NBA logos. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>West’s excellence speaks volumes, as it is the NBA emblem and one of the greatest scorers in NBA history. West’s 27-point season score average helped him finish his career with the 22nd-most points in the history of the league as well as a single-point championship. The 14-time All-Star was also a terrific defenseman, making five All-Defensive Team appearances and recording 2.6 steals per game.</p>
<p>Not just a prolific scorer, West was a fantastic competitor, illustrated by his 6.7-strong average and assist title in the 1971 season. The Hall of Famer has won an NBA championship with the Lakers in 1971 and is the only player in NBA history to win the MVP Finals on the losing team (1968).</p>
<h2>3. Dwayne Wade</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_dwyane_wade_of_the_miami_heat_runs_down_court_against_the_indiana_pacers__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_07c4b5a3.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Dwyane Wade of the Miami Heat runs down court against the Indiana Pacers. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Wade was a marvelous two-way guard, and one of the most entertaining players of his generation. The Miami Heat legend transformed the franchise culture and led them to three championships in his 17-year tenure.</p>
<p>Wade made thirteen All-Star appearances and also earned an ASG MVP award in 2009. The future Hall of Famer also comprised eight All-NBA players, three All-Defensive teams, and was the final MVP of the 2005 NBA season.</p>
<h2>2. Kobe Bryant</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:410" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_kobe_bryant_of_the_los_angeles_lakers_reacts_after_a_call_during_their_game_against_the_charlotte_bobcats__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_5594adeb.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers reacts after a call during their game against the Charlotte Bobcats. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>We are never going to see anyone like Kobe Bryant again. He won five NBA championships with the Lakers, stayed his entire career, and regularly made his case a top-two shooting guard to have ever existed. What he did for the basketball game was special, as he brought the “Mamba Mentality” and the killer would walk on the court every time.</p>
<p>He spent his entire life dominating the basketball game, and we are all very thankful for that. 5 NBA awards, 2 MVP Finals, 2 Olympic Gold Medals, and 11-time All-NBA Team make him the second-best shooter ever, very very far away from all others.</p>
<h2>1. Michael Jordan</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" data-height="410" data-width="740" hspace="5" vspace="5" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201231_BUS_167247_michael_jordan_of_the_chicago_bulls_rests_on_the_court_during_a_game__xgettyx.jpg_20222851_3782f0f7.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=410" width="740" height="410"></figure><figcaption>    Michael Jordan of the Chicago Bulls rests on the court during a game. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Unarguably the No.1 shooting guard to have ever walked the earth belongs to Michael Jordan. Jordan’s iconic accolades include five MVP awards, six title rings, and six MVP Finals. Jordan’s career scored an average of 30.1 points a game, and he was a ten-time scoring champion throughout his career.</p>
<p>Jordan received nearly every imaginable individual award since he also won ROY in 1984 and Defensive Player of the Year in the 1987 season. Michael Jordan is above any player on my list, and pretty much the rest of the NBA. There’s no other player who has so far matched his success.</p>

<p>In his NBA career, Jordanretired a total of three times. His first retirement cameonOctober 6, 1993, after the 1993 season,despite having wonthe NBA championshipwith the Chicago Bullsfor the third time in a row. However, around this time, MJ’s father was killed, leaving him devastated. As a result, he spent time out of the league andopted to play minorleague baseballfor the Chicago White Soxuntil 1995.</p>
<p>As Jordan returned, he was out of shape, but he recoveredhis formin the frame of a seasononly tograbthree back-to-back championships. However, he had adisagreement with the club’sthen-general manager Jerry Krauseand itcaused him to retire frombasketball for the second time in his careeronJanuary 13, 1999.</p>
<p>Everyonewasconvinced that that would bethe last time they would ever see MJon the pitch.However,Michaelsurprised them aftershockingly coming backto feature for the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/washington-wizards-t94888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Wizards</a>just two years later. AlthoughJordan managed toscorehis 30,000th total carer point during his first season there, and evenagainst his former side, the Bulls, he never succeeded in leading the Wizards to the playoffs. On April 16, 2003, he retired for the third andfinaltime.</p>

<h2>How old wasMichaelJordan when he retired?</h2>
<p>When he confirmed the decisionto hang up hissneakers in 1993, Jordan was just30 years old. At the time Jordan said that after a number of heavy seasons and the increasing taxes on his star status, he lost his urge to play basketball. The decision came just a few months after the assassination of his father, James Jordan, which took place in North Carolina at a rest stop.</p>
<p>Short-lived is how Jordan’s first retirement can be described. The then-32-year-old MJ came out of retirement with a two-word announcement: “I’m back”.It didn’t take long for the Bulls to return to their winning ways thanks to Jordan.Chicago dominated again for three consecutive terms untilthe end of the 1997-98 season when Jordan called it quits one more time, at the age of 35.</p>
<p>But that is not all. “Air Jordan”made another unexpected returnto the NBA with the Washington Wizardsa 38-year-old. However, he failed to lead his side to the playoffs and his performances were rather disappointing.Finally, in 2003 as a 40-year-old, MJ announced his finalretirement from basketball.</p>

<h2>What Does The GOAT Stand For?</h2>
<p>Well, chances are that you’ve already managed to find this out on your own if you take a look at the context. Judging by the notable characters and athletes people refer to as the GOAT, you already know<strong> that it’s good.</strong></p>
<p>The GOAT stands for more than just a lovely farm animal. It actually means the<strong> Greatest Of All Time</strong>, which means the people that refer to an athlete as such believes that he’s the undisputed number one.</p>

<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>That also helps explains why all of a sudden goats have become one of the most popular emojis on social media, <strong>mostly used next to littlefires, 100s, and crowns.</strong> Well, now you know why.</p>

<h2>Who’s The GOAT?</h2>
<p>Needless to say, this is purely subjective. <strong>There isn’t a defined criterion</strong> to say who’s the undisputed GOAT in any sport, and chances are that you’ll never get 5 people to agree on who should carry that distinction.</p>

What does the 'GOAT' mean in sports? - Bolavip US

<p>Throughout basketball history, we’ve witnessed the most talented athletes in the world take the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> by storm. Then again, just a handful of them is able to step up from the rest and build a legacy of their own.</p>
<p>Some players can dominate for a couple of seasons. Then, poor work ethic, bad luck, injuries, or defenses making adjustments take a toll on their game. Others never take the foot off the gas and torch <strong>their rivals for decades.</strong></p>
<p>That’s why today, we’re going to honor the latter, talking about the<strong> top 15 NBA scoring leaders of all-time</strong>. <strong>Note: </strong>we’re not going to include players from the defunct <strong>ABA,</strong> and their numbers are udpated as of the <strong>2019-20 season.</strong></p>

<h2>15. Carmelo Anthony – 26,446Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Carmelo Anthony" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Carmelo Anthony" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_carmelo_anthony.jpg_22993414_bcd89184.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Carmelo Anthony. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Carmelo Anthony </strong>deserves a huge apology from the NBA. He was mistreated, labeled as a scapegoat, and robbed of over a year of his career a couple of seasons ago. Now, he’s back where he was always supposed to be.</p>
<p>Anthony is one of the greatest offensive talents of all time. Even if his game isn’t exactly suited for today’s full-motion offense, he’ll still go down as one of the deadliest scorers to ever do it, posting a career average of <strong>23.6 points per game.</strong></p>
<h2>14. Tim Duncan – 26,496Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Tim Duncan" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Tim Duncan" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_tim_duncan.jpg_22993414_683d5ee5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Tim Duncan. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>If you thought of <strong>Tim Duncan, </strong>the word ‘scorer’ perhaps isn’t the first to pop out. However, <em>The Big Fundamental’s</em> efficiency and durability helped him crack the list of the 15 leading scorers in NBA history.</p>
<p>Duncan took it upon himself to lead the<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/san-antonio-spurs-t100707" target="_blank" rel="noopener">San Antonio Spurs</a></strong> to the top of the basketball world and you better believe he made it. Averaging just <strong>19.0 points per game</strong>, he averaged double-digits in scoring in all but his final year in the NBA.</p>
<h2>13. Dominique Wilkins – 26,668Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Dominique Wilkins" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Dominique Wilkins" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_dominique_wilkins.jpg_22993414_9636957b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dominique Wilkins. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Dominique Wilkins</strong> is by far one of the most underrated players of all time. He was one of the most electrifyingdunkers to ever live, and one of the most influential players of his generation, believe it or not.</p>
<p>Also, the fact that Wilkins rarely played with a good supporting cast around him also took a toll on his chances to win a ring. Still, he made it to the Hall Of Fame after averaging<strong> 24.8 points per game</strong> per his career.</p>
<h2>12. Oscar Robertson – 26,710Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Oscar Robertson" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Oscar Robertson" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_oscar_robertson.jpg_22993414_49bf2d6f.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Oscar Robertson. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><em>The Big O</em>! <strong>Oscar Robertson </strong>was Russell Westbrook before Russell Westbrook. In fact, he’s the first player to ever average a triple-double for a full season, something that seemed impossible until a couple of years ago.</p>
<p>Robertson could literally do it all on the floor, including scoring. He was bigger, faster, stronger, and way more athletic than the average point guard, and that helped him average <strong>25.7 points per game.</strong></p>
<h2>11. Hakeem Olajuwon – 26,946Points</h2>

<p></p></div>
<p>Some people think of this as a bit of a hot take, but I honestly believe that <strong>Hakeem Olajuwon</strong> is the greatest two-way big man in NBA history. He could swat shots into the stands and then light the best defenders on earth in the post as not many other players have ever done it.</p>
<p>Olajuwon made sure no one else ate when Michael Jordan retired for the first time and became one of the few players to ever record a quadruple-double. He constantly led the league in blocked shots while averaging <strong>21.8 points per game.</strong></p>

<p></p></div>
<p>If you’re a younger hoops fans, likely you’ve never heard of <strong>Elvin Hayes</strong>. Well, if I were to sum p his game with a word, that would have to be ‘dominant’. <em>The Big E</em> was a driving force on both ends of the floor and he was never going to be denied.</p>
<p>Elvin Hayes’s physicality and athleticism often gave him a huge strength over his defenders. In fact, he even led the league in rebounds more than once despite being undersized (6’9”) for a center. Also, he averaged <strong>21.0 points per game.</strong></p>
<h2>9. Moses Malone – 27,409Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Moses Malone" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Moses Malone" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_moses_malone.jpg_22993414_0c41995d.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Moses Malone. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Moses Malone </strong>was one of those few players whose prime lasted his entire career. Everybody expected him to fall off a cliff with age and that never happened, not even after his team traded him despite being the reigning MVP.</p>
<p>Malone was a physical presence below and above the rim that every team had to reckon. He made a living out of bullying and outhustling opposing defenders, averaging<strong> 20.3 points per game</strong> until he retired at 39 years old.</p>
<h2>8. Shaquille O’Neal – 28,596Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Shaquille O&apos;Neal" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Shaquille O&apos;Neal" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_shaquille_oxneal.jpg_22993414_8e6c018a.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Shaquille O’Neal. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>When people refer to you as ‘<em>The Most Dominant Ever’</em>, then you know that you’ve left your print in the league. That’s <strong>Shaquille O’Neal’s</strong> case, as he was the most unstoppable force in the NBA during his prime.</p>
<p>Some people argue that Shaq could’ve retired as the greatest player to ever do it if he had taken better care of his body and I won’t be the one to disagree. Even so, he averaged <strong>23.7 points per game </strong>over his career. Imagine if he could make his free-throws!</p>
<h2>7. Wilt Chamberlain- 31,419Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Wilt Chamberlain" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Wilt Chamberlain" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_wilt_chamberlain.jpg_22993414_484bc3d0.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Wilt Chamberlain. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>The man, the legend. <strong>Wilt Chamberlain</strong> was so dominant and physically gifted that the league had to enforce multiple rule changes to prevent him from having an unfair advantage over his rivals. It didn’t work.</p>
<p>Chamberlain is considered the most athletic player in NBA history. He still holds most of the records and many of them aren’t likely to be taken down. Ever. That includes his historical 100-point game. Also, he holds the 2nd-highest points-per-game average at <strong>30.07</strong></p>
<h2>6. Dirk Nowitzki – 31,560Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Dirk Nowitzki" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Dirk Nowitzki" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_dirk_nowitzki.jpg_22993414_39ce2b8b.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Dirk Nowitzki.

<p></p></div>
<p>No one, not even the most optimistic <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/dallas-mavericks-t92327" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Dallas Mavericks</a>fan ever thought that <strong>Dirk Nowitzki </strong>was going to go down as the greatest foreign scorer in NBA history. Fast-forward to today, and you know he’s responsible for changing the way the power forward spot was played.</p>
<p>Dirk was the greatest shooting big ever. His ability to stretch the floor and efficiently score from all three levels made him deadly until the very day of his retirement, as well as his signature one-legged fadeaway. He averaged <strong>20.7 points per game</strong>over his 20-year stint.</p>

<h2>5. Michael Jordan – 32,292Points</h2>

(Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>There aren’t many things we could say about <strong>Michael Jordan</strong> that haven’t been said before. There are plenty of reasons why he’s considered the greatest player to ever do it, and his scoring ability might as well be at the top of that list.</p>
<p>Jordan won an NBA-record 10 Scoring Titles (all consecutive). On top of that, he still holds<strong> the highest points-per-game average ever with 30.12</strong>, and he would’ve been the league’s all-time scorer if he hadn’t retired in the middle of his prime.</p>
<h2>4. Kobe Bryant – 33,643Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Kobe Bryant" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Kobe Bryant" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_kobe_bryant.jpg_22993414_952b23d2.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kobe Bryant. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>If you grew up watching basketball in the 2000s then you must know that there wasn’t a better scorer than <strong>Kobe Bryant</strong>. Kobe lit up opposing defenses in ways the league hadn’t seen since Michael Jordan.</p>
<p>Up to this day, Bryant is still the only player to ever come close to Wilt Chamberlain’s 100-point outing, scoring 81 vs. the Toronto Raptors. He averaged <strong>25.0 points per game</strong> over his 20-year career with the Lakers.</p>
<h2>3. LeBron James – 34,241 Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="LeBron James" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="LeBron James" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_lebron_james.jpg_22993414_d64893a5.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    LeBron James. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>It’s crazy to think that most people don’t actually think of <strong>LeBron James</strong> as an elite scorer despite the fact that he holds the 4th-highest points-per-game average in NBA history at <strong>27.1. </strong>I mean, what else does he need to do?</p>
<p>LeBron has only won a scoring title over his career but he’s never averaged fewer than 20.9 points per game over a season, and that was during his rookie year.<strong> He’s a lock to retire as the league’s all-time leading scorer.</strong></p>
<h2>2. Karl Malone – 36,928 Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Karl Malone" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Karl Malone" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_karl_malone.jpg_22993414_8761147c.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Karl Malone. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p><strong>Karl Malone’s </strong>name isn’t mentioned when discussing the greatest players of all time but he should at least crack the top 10 if you take a look at the numbers. At the end of the day, not many players were able to put up the kind of stats he did.</p>
<p>Averaging <strong>25.0 points</strong> per game over his 19-year career, The Mailman scored in double-digits throughout every single season of his career. Sadly, issues off the court and the lack of silverware took a massive toll on his reputation.</p>
<h2>1. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar -38,387Points</h2>
<div style="text-align:center">
<figure class="image">   <figure class="image"><img loading="lazy" alt="Kareem Abdul-Jabbar" data-height="413" data-width="740" data-size="w:740,h:413" hspace="5" vspace="5" title="Kareem Abdul-Jabbar" src="https://ds-images.bolavip.com/news/image?src=https://images.bolavip.com/webp/en/full/BUS_20201225_BUS_166962_kareem_abdul-jabbar.jpg_22993414_823cf161.webp&amp;width=740&amp;height=413" width="740" height="413"></figure><figcaption>    Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. (Getty)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Is it crazy to say that <strong>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar</strong> is somehow underrated? I mean, he’s got an NBA-record 6 MVP awards, holds the record for most All-Star Game appearances, won 6 NBA championships, and is the league’s all-time leading scorer.</p>
<p>Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was as crafty as they came on both ends of the floor. He anchored one of the most dominant dynasties in NBA historyand averaged <strong>24.6 points per game</strong> over a 20-year span.</p>

Top 15 NBA scoring leaders of all-time

Top 15 NBA scoring leaders of all-time - Bolavip US

<p>Ever since he set foot on an <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> </strong>hardwood, countless fans and analysts have debated whether <strong>Kevin Durant </strong>is the greatest scorerin the history of the league. Honestly, he has the skills and silverware to at least try and back up that claim.</p>
<p>Recently, his former teammate <strong>Kendrick Perkins</strong> has constantly tried to put him ahead of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, pointing out Durant’s physical traits and versatility as a scorer, while Jordan made the most of his damage from within close range thanks to his athleticism.</p>
<p>That’s why a fan took to Twitter to put an end to the Durant vs Jordan debate, claiming that KD could have averaged as many points as Jordan if he wanted<strong> because he’s 6’11 and can shoot over anybody.</strong></p>
<p></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Kevin Durant Says Michael Jordan Is God-Level</h2>
<p><em>“You old heads drive me nuts. Michael Jordan is 6’6. @KDTrey5 is 6’11 can shoot from all three levels, 90% free throw shooter, and can ball handle and move like a point guard. If he wanted to get 35 a night like Jordan, he could. <strong>That is the definition of unguardable,</strong>” </em>the fan said.</p>
<p>As per usual, it didn’t take long before KD replied, simply saying “<em>Mj is one of one, God level, unmatched, unparalled, a pure master at this sh*t. I<strong>’m still watching his games to learn.</strong> Leave me out of it please.</em>“</p>

(via KDTrey5)   </figcaption></figure>
<p></p></div>
<p>Both have a valid point right here. Jordan is deemed the greatest scorer of all time because he holds the highest career scoring average <strong>(30.1 PPG)</strong> and won a league-high 10 Scoring titles (all of them consecutive).</p>
<p>Durant has the edge in terms of being a <strong>more versatile scorer</strong> thanks to his height and three-point shooting ability, but when it comes to footwork, no one beats MJ. That’s why Durant wants no part of this conversation, but we can all agree that both are<a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba/The-15-Greatest-NBA-Players-of-All-Time-20200329-0002.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong> two of the greatest players to ever do it.</strong></a></p>

Kevin Durant explains why Michael Jordan is the greatest scorer ever - Bolavip US

<p><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/diego-maradona-t312" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Diego Maradona</strong></a> was one of the most influential sportsmen of all time with all the impressive things he did on the football pitch and his antics and controversies when he wasn’t playing soccer.</p>
<p>Diego became a legend in his sports, but he also inspired a lot of people from other disciplines to look for greatness the same way he did. Maradona also showed his admiration for other athletes throughout his life, especially <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> players, who always enchanted the <strong>1986 FIFA World Cup</strong> champion.</p>
<p>Last year, Diego joined TyC Sports’ “Líbero” to discuss a variety of topics. When asked about the NBA, he didn’t hesitate to talk about his favorite players, naming his favorite three of all time and showing his knowledge of the sport. “I love basketball,” he said back in the day.</p>

<h2>Diego Maradona named his three favorite NBA players</h2>
<p>When asked what celebrity he couldn’t meet, he mentioned golf legend Tiger Woods and NBA All-Time great <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Michael Jordan</strong></a>, an icon of basketball and sports in general, just like Diego himself.</p>
<p><em>“Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods, even though they’re American. That’s not their fault,” he replied.</em></p>
<p>Moreover, he named two more names, two of the best players of our generations that have left a big mark on the game, LeBron James and Stephen Curry. The King and Chef Curry have gone at it several times, enchanting fans around the world. Maradona, curiously, was one of those.</p>
<p><em>“I have fun watching <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a> and <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/stephen-curry-t132201" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Stephen Curry</a>,</strong>” Maradona added.</em></p>
<p>Diego always enjoyed watching sports. You could see them supporting the Argentina national team in basketball, Argentine tennis players and more. Diego was a man of sports and he never hesitated to show his passion for his teams.</p>
<p>The world will certainly miss one of the greatest personalities we’ve seen in sports.</p>

LeBron James and Michael Jordan pay up to $27 million in fines to allow felons to vote - Bolavip US

<p>Back in the day, <strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a> </strong>got a lot of backlash from African American communities for refusing to use his platform to inspire change. <em>“Republicans buy shoes too</em>,” the <strong>6-time <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA </a>Champion </strong>said when he was the biggest star in the world.</p>
<p>Now, however, Jordan has finally taken a stand and has voiced his support for the Black Lives Matter movement, even reaching out to the players <strong>when they wanted to boycott the return of the NBA season.</strong></p>
<p>Moreover, Jordan even stood for <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron--james-t27090" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>LeBron James</strong></a> when President <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/donald-trump-t132193" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>Donald Trump</strong></a> called him out and tried to get MJ on his side in 2018, claiming that he supports what James is <strong>doing off the court as a philanthropist.</strong></p>

<h2>Donald Trump Called LeBron James Dumb, Lauds Michael Jordan</h2>
<p><em>“Lebron James was just interviewed by the dumbest man on television, Don Lemon. He made Lebron look smart, which isn’t easy to do.<strong> I like Mike (Jordan)!</strong>“</em> the President of the United States said on August 4, 2018.</p>

<p>Trump closed his statement by choosing Michael Jordan ahead of LeBron James. Jordan had never gotten into politics until lately, so perhaps Trump felt like his silence was more of an endorsement. <strong>Now, however, we know that couldn’t be farther from the truth.</strong></p>
<h2>Michael Jordan Has LeBron James’ Back After Comments By Donald Trump</h2>
<p><em>“<strong>I support LeBron James. He’s doing an amazing job for his community</strong>,”</em> the Chicago Bulls legend told NBC Sports through a spokesperson after Trump brought his name up on social media.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>

<p>Moreover, Jordan had also shown his support to <strong>NFL players</strong> kneeling during the national anthem, claiming they’re just making their voices heard <strong>and shouldn’t be criticized or ostracized for that:</strong></p>

<p></p>
<p><em>“Those who exercise the right to peacefully express themselves should not be demonized or ostracized. At a time of increasing divisiveness and hate in this country, we should be looking for ways to work together <strong>and support each other and not create more division,</strong>” </em>Jordan said.</p>

<p></p>
<p>Jordan also committed a lot of money this year through his multiple companies to social justice causes and organizations to empower<strong> African American voters</strong>, so Trump may want to take his statement back.</p>

The day Michael Jordan stood up for LeBron James against Donald Trump - Bolavip US

<p><strong><a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a> has a strong opinion against <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener">NBA</a> players who team up with otherstars to create superteams</strong>. MJ stayed with the Chicago Bulls during his best days and he never went after another superstar assome players do nowadays. Back in the day, the Bulls built a team around Jordan and that made him win six NBA championships from 1991 through 1998.</p>
<p>As expected, the widely-considered GOAT isn’t a fan of superteams, <strong>squads that tried to diminish their competition by ‘stealing’ talent and recruiting the best players from less strong teams</strong>. During the 2010s we saw various teams doing this exact thing, like <strong>the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/miami-heat-t100209" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Miami Heat</a> of <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James</a>, Chris Bosh and Dwyane Wade, the failed <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/los-angeles-lakers-t101482" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Los Angeles Lakers</a> superteam of Kobe Bryant, Dwight Howard and Steve Nash and the infamous <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/golden-state-warriors-t101550" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Golden State Warriors</a> of Kevin Durant, Stephen Curry, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green.</strong></p>
<p>When we talk about superteams, the Warriors are the first team you think of, but the league has seen many more over the past 15-20 years. During a 2017 interview, Jordan expressed his opinion about these teams, making it clear that he’s not a fan. <strong>He never pursued Charles Barkley, Gary Payton, Magic Johnson or any other player to join him and he doesn’t like seeing current players doing that.</strong></p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<p></p></div>
<h2>Jordan goes off on superteams, claiming they destroy the league’s competitiveness</h2>
<p>During an interview with Cigar Aficionado, <strong>His Airness expressed that superteams only damage the league’s competitiveness</strong>, unbalancing the league with moves that will hurt most of the teams and will favor just a couple.</p>
<p><em>“I think you want to be able to have competitive balance in the league,” Jordan said. “And if a player is able to choose/determine what team he wants to play for, then you are going to have some talent discrepancy in the league. So if everybody wants to go to Chicago, then all the best players are going to be in Chicago. <strong>You start to see a little bit of it now where all the stars try to get together on the same team, but I think it’s going to start to hurt the overall aspect of the league from a competitive standpoint. Only one or two teams will be great and the other 28 will be garbage.”</strong></em></p>
<p><em>Back in the 80</em>s and 90s things were very different. You didn’t see players trying to team up with their rivals to beat other rivals. That’s what Jordan and his generation learned and that’s the way they see basketball. Yet, things have changed a lot and some players don’t seem to care too much about their legacy or reputation if they can just win, regardless of the method they use.</p>

Michael Jordan goes off on destructive NBA superteams

Michael Jordan goes off on destructive NBA superteams - Bolavip US

<p>Ever since he took the <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/nba-t19117" target="_blank" rel="noopener"><strong>NBA</strong></a> by storm in 1984,<strong> <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/michael-jordan-t85627" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Jordan</a></strong> has been considered by most fans, pundits, analysts, and statheads as the greatest player of all time, even ahead of other legends like<strong> Kobe Bryant, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Bill Russell, or <a href="https://us.bolavip.com/lebron-james-t92259" target="_blank" rel="noopener">LeBron James.</a></strong></p>
<p>Jordan’s accomplishments and accolades surely put him on top of plenty of people’s list, while the eye test also gives him the nod more often than not.<strong> Then again, everybody’s entitled to his own opinion.</strong></p>
<p>However, Michael Jordan doesn’t agree with that GOAT (Greatest Of All Time) distinction most people give him, as he told<strong>Marvin R. Shanken in an interview with Cigar Aficionado</strong> that there shouldn’t even be a debate about it.</p>
<div style="text-align:center">

<h2>Michael Jordan Shuts Down The GOAT Debate</h2>
<p><em>“First of all you’re never going to say who’s the greatest of all time. <strong>To me that’s more for PR and more for selling stories and getting hype</strong>,”</em> Jordan started, claiming that you can’t compare players from different eras.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/10/21/noticia_0016.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-36">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><strong>“</strong><em><strong>I never played against Wilt Chamberlain. I never played against Jerry West.</strong> To now say that one’s greater than the other is being a little bit unfair. I think when you can see the similarities and you understand if this is one way you can judge the two.<strong> How much impact did each change or evolve the game</strong>,”</em> MJ added.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/03/29/noticia_0002.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-94">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p><em>“<strong>I won six championships. Bill Russell won eleven.</strong> Does that make Bill Russell better than me and make me better than him? No. Because we played in different eras. So when you try to equate who’s the greatest of all time, <strong>it’s an unfair parallel, it’s an unfair choice,</strong>“</em> Jordan concluded.</p>
<p><span></span> </p>
<div class="ck-related-news">  <span data-src="/usa/contenidos/2020/10/22/noticia_0011.html" data-type="news"></span>  <p></p>
<div id="relatedNews-51">     </div>
<p></p></div>
<p></p>
<p>Michael has a strong point here. It’s unfair to compare different eras with different rules, styles, and ways to conceive the game. I<strong>nstead, we should just try and enjoy greatness while we still can.</strong></p>
