Who’s the NBA GOAT? It’s a no-brainer … Magic Johnson. Here’s why.
Would you like me to explain? He’s the GOAT because he’s the best player to have played all five positions in basketball. He’s not just a point guard or shooting guard. He’s not just a small or power forward. And he’s not just a center. Magic Johson played and excelled at all five positions.
Yes, LeBron could probably play all five positions, and ‘Bird’ could, too. Jordan? No. I don’t see that–not at power forward or center, at least.
Magic, on the other hand, could do it all. Consider what happened during his rookie season with the Los Angeles Lakers. In Game 6 of the 1980 NBA Finals, Magic was called upon to play center against Philadelphia and Darryl Dawkins. How’d he do? Well, he scored 42 points, the Lakers won, and LAL won the NBA Championship that day.

At center! And in Magic’s first year in the league! Jordan? He didn’t do either.
Magic is GOAT. Jordan? He’s the best shooting guard ever.
I rest my case!
