Greatest of all time (GOAT) is a term used to describe a person, team, or work widely regarded as the best in its field or category. The term is commonly used in sports, entertainment, music, and other areas of popular culture.
The phrase is often used when comparing individuals across different eras. Because there is rarely universal agreement about who is the greatest, discussions about the GOAT can depend on achievements, statistics, longevity, influence, popularity, and personal opinion.
