Nah....there are other great players that have great years sometimes. Has nothing to do with voter fatigue.
It's really simple.

Man Larry Brown essentially called him the goat in 91 and Jack said that an argument could be made for him being the goat in 91
Both are right here

I don't need no age to prove this
Saying somebody is the best you've seen play is a different discussion from greatest of all time. Kobe is the best I've seen play but he ain't the GOAT.
That same article says he just may have supplanted Magic as the best player in the league.

But jack literally was in SI saying that an argument could be made for Jordan being the goat in 91
He wasn't calling him the best he's ever seen.

He wasn't? Pretty sure Kareem was, at that point.

Larry Brown did though. You said he said he was essentially calling him the GOAT. That's not the same.

Last night's game got a higher rating than last years WCF.
America will watch dominant teams. Been that way since day 1.

Okay, so Larry didn't call him the goat. But he said Jordan was the greatest he'd ever seen and that he'd seen all the greats
Do you think Jack at SI was the only guy at the time saying Jordan had a case to be the GOAT even then?
Come on
it's right there and there's more. They were making arguments even then.

Yeah, making arguments to the throne. Throne held by Kareem. Abdul-Jabbar was the supplanted GOAT at the time.

Yes he was, at least in Southern California he was. You weren't alive at that time. You should know this because you don't know. Don't think that just because you read a SI article in '91 with Larry Brown talkn bout Jordan as "the best" he's seen, all of a sudden Kareem wasn't universally recognized as the GOAT.Kareem wasn't universally the goat in 91 man

In '91 Kareem had the record for most MVP's and most points scored in a career which still stand to this day. Not to mention the single most unstoppable basketball move/shot of all time, so unique that nobody except for Magic Johnson can duplicate it.

I'm pretty sure he was in the minority. Just like there were folks putting Bron up there after his 1st one. As the resumé grew with MJ it was more widely accepted like the conversations with Bron now are being taken more seriously than in 2012.

I said "almost universally." Which means, MOST people thought he was the GOAT at that time.
After the '91 Finals, Magic and Bird had not yet retired, Jordan was still beginning his ascension to legendary status. Dream Team had not yet even been assembled.
Most people saw Kareem's numbers at that time as untouchable. Period.
What he did in high school, college, and the pros when Kareem's basketball career was all said and done in '89 made him the ULTIMATE WINNER. Dude dominated in college and the pros. That's why he was widely considered the GOAT basketball player.
