I have Jordan above Bron.
There. Let's get that out from the jump.
Loyalty (Stanship) to one is exactly why these conversations go nowhere.
This is going to ruffle some feathers, and it took me years to see this, but...
Jordan Stans started the whole Stan phenomenon, and no Stan group is worst than the OG Stan Group: the Be Like Mike crowd.
I'm not talking about fans; I'm talking Stans.
I'm a huge Jordan fan, but also a huge fan of Lebron, Steph, Kobe, Magic, Kidd, lots of players.
I'm not a Stan for anyone, though, and I see how Jordan Stans trailblazed the path that LeBron Stans tread, and every Stan group.
People get uncomfortable calling the Jordan Stan group out... because they're the OG, and there are literally millions. They're not going to call themselves out.
That you have Jordan as your GOAT and you have for 30+ years, that's not a problem.
That you get emotional reading someone else name a differentplayerr as GOAT, that is definitely a problem.
That is THE problem in GOAT discussions.
