Steve Kerr, Who Has Coached Stephen Curry and Played Against Kobe Bryant, Declares Michael Jordan the Undisputed GOAT

It is safe to say that at some point, Steve Kerr has witnessed most of the NBA’s elite athletes in action. Right from Michael Jordan to Stephen Curry, Kerr has been fortunate enough to watch them all. However, he has always been firm when it comes to the ‘GOAT’ debate. As he reiterated again, MJ edges out the likes of Curry and Kobe Bryant, for a particular reason.

One of the finest all-rounders in terms of excelling as a player and coach, Steve Kerr won 8 titles in all. In light of this, he has garnered the utmost respect of all his compatriots. But making claims about the greatest basketball player of all time is never easy.

After all, we are talking about the likes of Michael Jordan and Stephen Curry, who average over 30 and 24 points, respectively. Not to forget LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, who have etched their names in NBA and Lakers’ history.

Steve Kerr made a confident GOAT claim about Michael Jordan

In the late 1990s, Kerr partnered with Michael Jordan in what was a legendary Chicago Bulls squad. While he went on to win 5 titles, the 14-time All-Star won 6. Yet, the 56-year-old has always been in admiration of ‘His Airness’. Making the front line their own, both of them scripted history, before parting ways. But as The Athletic revealed, Kerr’s view on the GOAT debate was never in question. And that’s saying a lot, considering he bore witness to Steph’s unthinkable rise in the NBA.

There is no doubt that in terms of quality, MJ was right up there with the best. But to so many, including Kerr, his overall impact on the game made him the force of nature that he is. “I mean, he is the greatest player of all time, so there’s a reason that most people agree on that,” Kerr said. “It goes beyond the shot-making, it’s the totality of everything. He just had this incredible package of skill and knowledge and experience and it all added up to this aura he was just better than everyone by far.”

What do you think about Jordan’s position in the GOAT debate? Sure, there is competition from the likes of LeBron and Kobe, but is it safe to say that Michael is a touch above the rest? Comment below.
