When it comes to the GOAT debate, everyone has an opinion. According to Kevin Durant, there’s only one GOAT and that’s Michael Jordan.

“Michael Jordan. He has so much aura, and he can say anything, and it just sounds perfect,” Durant said of Jordan. “What players does he watch? What does he think about the style of play compared to the style of play in his era? The difference in sports medicine back then and compared to what we do, how we do it today.

“Like, I mean, I got so many questions I ask, I’m like, man, I could go on and on. I mean, that’s the GOAT, man. That’s just the perfect basketball player, perfect businessman. Like, he just taught everybody how to be great on the court and also how to maximize what you do off the floor too. He was perfect, man.”

Jordan truly was the perfect basketball player. He may not have played the longest, but when he did, no player compared to him.
