      No doubt, but what helped MJ become the Goat, was the fact, that as he got older, he was able to still elevate his game play. Even when he could no longer just fly by the defense and throw it down, he used other methods to flat out embarrass his opponents, not to mention that he played solid defense ✌🏾

    This game also showed the brilliance of Bob Knight as a coach, recognizing his players' talents. He sometimes played MJ at forward, instead of guard,, due to his versatility as a basketball player. Even Doug Collins recognized that versatility later as a Bulls' coach, sometines playing MJ at the point, instead of shooting guard. MJ would average a triple double p/game during that short time.
