Strangely enough, I think a very similar situation exists in the tennis world (most of you probably don't give $h*& about that, though). Pete Sampras is my favorite tennis player of all time, and I never thought I'd see a player better, yet I think it's clear, much to my dismay that Federer is just that (but I like to think in his prime, Pete would smoke him). Anyway, despite all his brilliance, Federer just isn't as fun to watch as Pete. Federer is the better athlete, and probably the better player but Sampras's serve and volley style was SO graceful LOOKING that I just can't watch Federer and enjoy it in the same way.

Lebron, kobe, Wilt, Oscar Robertson, Dr. J all deserve their props no doubt..

but there's only one GOAT and his name is Michael Jordan.

Care to explain why you think so?

Other than his obvious physical attributes, leadership and contribution to the game? When Lebron or Kobe get their teams to 6 titles, we can debate this, until then it's not a debatable in my opinion
