Ehhh yes and no. Maybe not “publicly” but if you watched the last dance he was very vocal to other people about his status and he was well aware of it.
He would literally call himself “God” and “Black Jesus”. Which might be a little more egotistical than saying he’s the greatest player ever.
There was also that time he got into a heated argument with wilt chamberlain about who was the GOAT between him and Wilt. MJ probably is the GOAT but I definitely wouldn’t say he’s humble
