“I don’t think there’s a GOAT…I like Mount Rushmore. I like top five, top 10, top 20 guys. But I don’t think there’s a GOAT,” Orton responded.

Orton has held the world title 14 times. “The Nature Boy” Ric Flair and John Cena top WWE’s all-time list of world title reigns with 16 each, but Orton’s 14 reigns are the most among active wrestlers.
Orton didn’t explicitly name Jordan as the NBA GOAT, so it’s unclear if he doesn’t like the Los Angeles Lakers star or if he thinks the Chicago Bulls legend is simply a better player.
