While Michael Jordan’s legacy as a basketball player still crowns His Airness, his team, the Charlotte Hornets struggle to make waves as they sit at the 14th seed of the Conference. Furthermore, the Nets are on an 11-game winning streak, the most of any team in the league currently.

Does Kevin Durant match the GOAT credentials?

Kevin Durant’s resume has undoubtedly been impressive. The two-time NBA champion has been known to be a reliable player when it comes to scoring. According to ESPN, “As a scorer, Durant remains the most versatile individual force in basketball. Averaging 29.9 points per game, this might be his best season as a scorer since 2013-14“. They also noted that his 59.6% conversion rate is higher than Michael Jordan’s. KD has also shown similarities to the fluidity between “midrange volume and efficiency” like Jordan.

There is indeed merit to the argument that Michael Jordan is indeed the GOAT of the NBA. He was a rare breed that could dominate both ends of the floor. He was a staple name announced at All-Star events and bagged many awards for his sheer skill and abilities.
