Sports analyst Stephen A. Smith argued that Michael Jordan’s time with the Washington Wizards shouldn’t factor into the GOAT debate, insisting his prime years define his legacy.
“There’s no way you could watch Jordan & LeBron James and think Jordan is not the GOAT … We ain’t counting his two years with the Wizards … We’re talking about his 13 years in Chicago.”
