@jgd0634 The greatest team player and greatest individual player in sport history. And not even close by either criteria. The GOAT resume for anyone else doesn't measure up.

The 2 greatest players in the history of the sport.
Basketball Now & Then@BBallNowandThen
Bill Russell and Wilt Chamberlain. Lakers - Celtics. A timeless rivalry.
English
@HawkEmDownChris Relative to their time, the 1960s are the best between Jim Brown, Wilt Chamberlain, Muhammad Ali, Johnny Unitas, Dick Butkus, Hank Aaron, Bill Russell, Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Jack Nicklaus, Arnold Palmer, Bob Gibson, Roberto Clemente, Pele

@detroitotaku @thesportsgully The NFL itself doesn’t though. The iconic 85 Bears are never referred to as the 86 Bears. Or the undefeated 73 Dolphins.
English
@LivyatanScale @thesportsgully People view the NFL seasons as 20XX-XX like all the others.
English
@FastbreakHoops5 Jordan did not "defeat" any of these players. His team defeated their team. The inability to distinguish this is why NBA discourse is so imbecilic.
English
Hall of famers Michael Jordan defeated in the playoffs.
English
@bill_dowhen @GuntherEagleman Very underrated team. They beat the NBA’s greatest dynasty in 5 games pretty convincingly. That Celtics team that year was one of the better teams of the Russell era also.
English
@GuntherEagleman The 1966-67 Philadelphia 76ers were very good. A 68-13 record, scored 125 points per game, almost a +10 points per game differential. Wilt with 24 points and 24 boards per game, Billy Cunningham off the bench with 18 points in 26 minutes.
English
Every generation thinks their team was the greatest.
Every fan base swears they had a dynasty.
But when the conversation turns to the greatest team ever assembled, the 1996 Bulls are always in the room.
So let’s settle it.
If you’re NOT picking the ’96 Bulls, who are you taking and why? 👇🏀
72-10. Championship. Jordan. Pippen. Rodman.
Good luck topping that. 😏
English
@GuntherEagleman 1972 Lakers. 33 straight wins. Significantly better playoff competition in the Bucks and Knicks

@RasmusJarlov @gov_fails The US does not care about 3rd world countries.
English
@gov_fails Thank you so much for letting us know.
Do you want to know where USA Football and baseball rank in Europe? It is not even in the top 20. And so what?
English
I think soccer is like the 5th most popular sport in the USA.
English
@wstgoat7 A product being more popular is generally a red flag that the quality is dumbed down to appeal to the lowest common denominator. These statistics don't mean what they think they do. 3rd world sport.
English
These guys are genuinely so obsessed with us
World of Statistics@stats_feed
🏈 Super Bowl LX: 125.6 million viewers ⚽️ World Cup 2026 Opener: ~1.2 billion viewers
English
@jordanjames123d @KraftGOAT A 3rd world sport being more popular with the low IQ global masses is not the statement you think it is. In fact, the NFL going global is one of the worst things happening to the sport.
English
@KraftGOAT The premier league in england a country about the same size as ny state has more viewers world wide than all your sports league combined let that sink in buddy
English
This is actually more sad for the eurocucks because that’s one country vs. the ENTIRE WORLD
Winna F.C. | Football Time@WinnaFC
🚨CRAZY STAT: The World Cup opener attracted twice as many viewers as the Super Bowl final. 🤯
English
@GehrigDieter There are no commercials in soccer because the players are walking advertisements, which is infinitely worse
English
11 minutes of football gameplay is 100000% more entertaining than 90 minutes of soccer
WhatsaMata8@whatsamata8
@GehrigDieter 3.5 hours to play 11 minutes, with 100+ commercials for good measure. The excitement!
English
@TrollFootball 3rd world faggot sport is more popular among the low IQ global population. Not the statement you think it is
English
@_Wooskee @Stats_N_Facts Wilt is such an anomaly, I really feel like he’s generally excluded from the debate because it’s just too unbelievable that someone that dominant existed so he makes the debate boring.
English
@Stats_N_Facts That’s a bar from wilt that gets over look and Jordan fans tried to bury
English
@NoContextHumans Gay 3rd world sport is more popular among the low IQ masses isn’t the statement you think it is.
English
The Americans are about to see a real sport
English
@BringBackBanjoK The general public is retarded. I remember Cranky making fun of the “3 hands” criticism in the DK64 manual.
English
N64 controller hate is so forced. If you’ve actually used one it feels perfectly intuitive.
chloe@yandhiisntreal
honestly ocarina of time really does deserve it's title of "the greatest game of all time" not only because it's amazing but also because do you realize how great a game has to be that you're willing to play it with a controller that looks like THIS
English
Name a worse meltdown in sports history. Gotta be a short list.
What an utter collapse.
English
@TREErenceMalick The public is mostly retarded. The fact that female athletes are on this list invalidate it.
English
LeBron can keep calling himself the "GOAT" until he runs out of breath, but the people keep giving that crown to Michael Jordan.
English
Is Michael Jordan the greatest scorer in NBA history?
Wavy@wavytalkhoops
Top 10 scorers in NBA history 1. Michael Jordan 2. Kevin Durant 3. Kobe Bryant 4. James Harden 5. LeBron James 6. Tracy McGrady 7. Allen Iverson 8. Larry Bird 9. Shaquille O’Neal 10. Carmelo Anthony What would you change?
English
@BarryOnHere 1942 Stanley Cup if considering all sports
English
Falcons SB choke is still #1. I don't think anything will ever supplant that. Tonight's performance by the Spurs tonight would probably be 2nd.
Duffman saysalottathings@duffeyc
@BarryOnHere Falcons SB level choke job
English
@SandoNFL @dwightjaynes Offensive fouls were called extremely strictly in Wilt’s era. Shaq would have fouled out by the 2nd quarter playing the way he did. Not a knock on him, the game changes and he adapted accordingly but there’s a reason for Wilt’s finesse game.
English
@dwightjaynes Yes, the only “but” is that Shaq went to the basket and finished more violently. Wilt almost held back from hurting people. Shaq bulled over them
English
So, more dominance in his era than Wilt? Sorry.... Wilt could do everything, in a big way. Rebounds, scoring, defense, passing -- whatever you needed. Much more dominant and complete than Shaq ever dreamed of being.
AGM3@farsideagm
@dwightjaynes Skill wise no. Dominance in his era, meaning there wasn’t a physical equivalent and maybe never has been one physically—yes. Hakeem, Robinson and Ewing had much better BB skills.
