Want to start a debate in a sports bar? Well, when we’re allowed in bars again, I mean.
A couple of members of Notre Dame’s football team debated exactly that in the wake of “The Last Dance” that recently wrapped up on ESPN. The older generations got to re-live the dominance of the nineties with the Chicago Bulls while the younger audience got to experience it for the first time.
Those generational stereotypes play out in the latest episode of “The Notre Dame Minute” as star defensive back Kyle Hamilton and defensive pass game coordinator Terry Joesph debated who the actual GOAT is.
ND Minute ⏱️: Who is the 🐐, Michael Jordan or LeBron James? @Coach_TJoseph goes head to head with @kham316 on who they think the 🐐is.

As the documentary goes into detail about it wasn’t just ability with Jordan, it was the constant mindset he was in, always wanting to beat anyone at anything. There was no easy way out or bailing on a team to join a trifecta of All-Stars.
If Draymond Green never goes complete headcase and uses his foot as a weapon in the 2016 NBA Finals, Golden State finishes off that series and the discussion is instead about the greatest team of all-time, not the player. Hopefully James sends Green a Christmas card each year to thank him for how much he helped LeBron’s legacy.
Give the win to Joseph and Jordan.
