Examples

• Mohammad Ali boxed his way into our hearts and will forever be known as GOAT, Greatest Of All Time.
• Hamilton may end up being the GOAT as far as I can see.
• As much fun as it is to debate who is the greatest in NBA history, it's pointless, a question for which there can be no definitive answer…. The list of players who could be considered the GOAT is long, and each one is worthy in his own right. — Nancy Armour
• Former President (and arguably the GOAT of post-presidency careers) Jimmy Carter is leasing 10 acres of his Georgia peanut farm to SolAmerica to create a 1.3MW solar array. — Walter Einenkel
• There's no denying what Aaron Rodgers has done in his career, but to say Rodgers is the GOAT is a big statement considering what Tom Brady has accomplished. — Pro Football Weekly
