Does this make Michael Jordan the GOAT?

‼️ Magic Johson once said LeBron James needs to win at least 7 rings to be in the GOAT debate with MJ!

‼️ Stephen Jackson on LeBron James haters: "I think the people who are on his back are, one, people who don't know basketball and two, they want to be him.
..
They hate him because they want to be him. People only envy what they can't be. They don't envy stuff that they hate. They envy what they can't be. And they envy LeBron because he's so great. He's doing things that have never been done. Even with his friends, he put his friends in positions to be great.
..
And every basketball player, including myself, has brought friends from the hood along and tried to put them in positions to succeed. 'Bron is the only one to get it right, with Rich Paul and Maverick Carter. So LeBron is different, he's similar to MJ and Kobe. You'll never see another one of them. These guys were meant to be once-in-a-lifetime type of players. Anybody hating on 'Bron, they're just dying inside."

😬 LeBron James on playing against physicality of opponents: "You just gotta match physicality with physicality. I can't speak for anybody but myself when it comes to that. I’m a football player so I don’t mind physicality, to be honest. Perfectly fine for me but as a team we have to be better. We gotta do it as a team. It's not something that you're going to learn. It's either in you or it's not."

LeBron James, of course🔥

🐍 In 2002, Shaquille O' Neal wore number 8 during warmups to show his support for Kobe, while Kobe served a two-game suspension for fighting Reggie Miller.
🐍 Kobe on what Shaq did: "I was kind of happy, man, because you know how the NBA rules make you wear those tight, little John Stockton uniforms? I was kind of happy. He stretched it out for me. I was hoping maybe he could wear my shorts."

Is this true? 🤔

🐐 MJ is the ONLY player in NBA history to win the Scoring Title and the DPOY award in the same season (1987-88)

‼️ Austin Reaves on LeBron: “I remember my rookie year, LeBron was on my a** for a two-week stretch, and I was getting frustrated. I would mess up in games, and he would critique me a lot. I got really frustrated because I felt like he just kept coming after me. But not in a bad way, he just wanted me to be better. I went to Phil Handy (Lakers assistant), and I was like, 'He needs to give me a break, I'm still learning.' And he was like, 'The only reason he's on you like that is because he believes in you.'”

😬 Scottie Pippen on the 2020 NBA Title: "Well, I'm going to be honest. It's not NBA basketball. It's not the hard grind. It's not the travel. It's not the fans. It's not the distractions. Really, to me, it's pickup basketball. It's going to the gym. Yeah, you already got your team. Y'all practicing together. But it's a more of a pickup type of basketball game, because there's no fans in the stands. So there is no distraction. There's no real noise. There's no pressure on the players, you know. Prime example: I looked at Rondo. Rondo ain't made 3-pointers in his whole NBA career. Now, all of a sudden, he's in a bubble, he's probably a 50% 3-point shooter..."
