10 facts that put MJ's GOAT status beyond reasonable doubt

#5 6 seasons with scoring title and NBA title

Jordan is one of 3 players in NBA History to win an NBA scoring championship and NBA Championship in the same season. George Mikan, Shaquille O'Neal and Lew Alcindor did it once each. Jordan did it all six times that he won a championship ring. All six times, he also led the playoffs in scoring, which Mikan and O'Neal did but Alcindor (Kareem) didn't.

Here's what Scoop Jackson pointed out in ESPN's NBA Rank article on MJ done in February 2016:

Be like Mike? He left room for others to come close. But could you be like him as often? As consistently?

All due respect to Wilt, Kobe, LeBron, Steph, Magic and all other players who fall below Jordan's No. 1 position on this list, but what set Jordan apart was his ability to follow up his own "God-like" performances with something greater the next game, the next series, the next season.

And when you glance through the record books, you can see how true it is.
