NEWS FLASH:Lionel Messi makes shocking Michael Jordan’s GOAT claim…

Lionel Messi, the Inter Miami star, is having another outstanding season. Messi’s performance has put his team first in the MLS Eastern Conference rankings. Many consider Messi to be one of the best soccer players of all time. However, the Inter Miami great provided an eye-opening GOAT perspective on another superstar, former Chicago Bulls player Michael Jordan.

Messi considers Jordan to be a great athlete in all sports, not just basketball.

In my opinion, he is the greatest athlete ever. But after watching his series and learning more about him, ‘The Last Dance’ simply blows your mind; it’s a masterpiece, and it’s astounding. That also pulled me closer to him and allowed me to better grasp who he was. “It’s a shame I couldn’t experience that era in person, because I would have loved it,” Messi told Hoops Hype.

Lionel Messi was quite impressed with Jordan’s “Last Dance” documentary, which chronicled his tenure with the Bulls in the NBA. With everything Jordan has done, the Inter Miami star’s perspective is fitting.

Michael Jordan won six NBA titles with the Chicago Bulls, was named MVP five times, made the All-NBA team eleven times, and was a 14-time All-Star. In addition, he was named to the All-Defensive Team nine times, won the scoring title ten times, and stole the ball three times. Jordan was regarded as one of the most competitive players ever. He left a very unforgettable legacy for the Bulls.

Lionel Messi’s GOAT take on Jordan is hilarious, given that soccer fans believe the Inter Miami player to be a GOAT. Jordan undoubtedly values Messi’s praise, but the soccer star is not the only one who admires him.

Lionel Messi’s GOAT adoration goes beyond himself.
Several sportsmen and athletes have considered Michael Jordan to be the best basketball player of all time. Dwyane Wade is one of the players who has offered Jordan the honor.

“My GOAT has always been Michael Jordan,” Wade stated in July 2023. “I tried to emulate Michael Jordan’s style of play.” I had other favorite players like Allen Iverson and Kobe Bryant. These are all GOATs in my opinion. To me, it’s difficult to pick a GOAT. It’s a room full with GOATs. Michael Jordan is in that room. “One of my friends, LeBron James, is in that room.”

Dallas Mavericks guard Luka Doncic also agrees with Wade’s assessment on Jordan. However, some players believe that the GOAT discussion is more murky than definitive. Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry explains why the topic is difficult to answer.

“I can say I’m the best, Magic can defend his position, and any other point guard can speak up. It’s the amazing thing about basketball and the eras,” Curry stated in October 2023.

“If you’re in that conversation, no matter what era you’re from, no matter what your style of play was, whatever it is, if you’re in that conversation, then it’s a job well done,” Curry told the crowd.
