Lionel Messi on GOAT debate: Michael Jordan is the greatest there is
Lionel Messi on Michael Jordan: “It seems to me, in terms of sports, he’s the greatest there is (…) But after having seen his series and getting to know a bit more about him, you know, “The Last Dance”, it just blows your mind, it’s a masterpiece, it’s impressive. Well, that also brought me closer to him and to understand a bit more about who he was. It’s a pity that I couldn’t live through that era in person, because I would’ve loved it. Honestly, I don’t know much about basketball either, nor am I a big follower, but I think he was something different in all sports, not just in basketball. And well, I have a huge admiration for him. And since so many people have asked me for photos, I couldn’t get one with him, it would be something nice.”Source: YouTube

Michael Jordan became the biggest star in the world. Because people liked him A LOT. Even if they knew nothing about basketball. Magic Johnson’s smile lit up the world. Shaq is one of the most loveable sports characters of all time. OK, I think you get the point now. – 6:14 PM

More on this storyline
Reflecting on the series, Kemp, a three-time All-NBA forward, acknowledged Michael Jordan’s brilliance but emphasized that it was Rodman’s defensive prowess and relentless rebounding that disrupted the Sonics’ rhythm. “Everyone talks about MJ, and of course, he was phenomenal. But it was Rodman’s defensive play and his ability to control the boards that really threw us off,” Kemp said. -via hip-hopvibe.com / June 22, 2024
Michael Jordan and LeBron James always headline the GOAT debates but for Seattle SuperSonics legend Shawn Kemp, Celtics icon Bill Russell is the greatest basketball player of all time. During an appearance on the ‘All The Smoke’ podcast with Matt Barnes and Stephen Jackson. Kemp highlighted Russell’s influence as an all-around big man. “People get at me when I say this man, but Bill, Bill Russell. The best to play the game is not going to be the leading scorer, the best to play the game is going to be one in the middle doing a lot of different things,” Kemp emphasized. -via Clutch Points / June 22, 2024
