I'm sure you thought this was a gotcha moment and didn't think I had the receipts. Don't worry I got you:
The players who are on the record
saying Michael Jordan is the GOAT
Not mention, dozens of other's this article doesn't include, including the one and only Larry Bird himself who said it.
Now... would you like the list on how many people say Bird is the GOAT? This one will take a MUCH longer time, since I will have to dig through the 30 pages of google the handful of guys that might have said it.
