Eh. I don't think Jordan saying something means that it is being offered as fact. Him saying Payton had no effect on him just shows his arrogance. I don't think that is being offered up as evidence of him being the GOAT.Split T wrote: ↑Sat May 23, 2020 8:08 amThe biggest example to me was when talking about the Sonics series...Jordan laughs off the idea that Gary Payton had any effect on him. Jordan’s numbers were drastically worse with Payton defending him that series. No mention of that though. The idea was to show Jordan as the goat. Anything that went against that idea was left out.
His lack of success in the 80s, his berating of teammates, him crossing the line with how he treated Krause, his gambling "scandal," his lack of political involvement, his fight with Steve Kerr...none of that had to do with him being the GOAT.
