Bill Russell did.

You said MJ was the GOAT and it's not debatable. Pippen disagrees.

With regard to Wilt and Russ you are completely wrong. 
If you watched their matchups you would never make such a ridiculous statement.

Here's 5 quotes from Bill.

“After I played him for the first time, I said 'Let's see. He's four or five inches taller. He's 40 or 50 pounds heavier. His vertical leap is at least as good as mine. He can get up and down the floor as well as I can. And he's smart. The real problem with all this is I have to show up…. He destroyed me so bad that game that he put enough fear into my heart that I wasn’t going to do anything to beat Wilt.”

“Because I knew Wilt as I did, I was always seeking to take advantage of his good nature. I did whatever I could to make sure I would never get him angry or fired up as I knew he would destroy me if i did.”

“Wilt is playing better than I ever did –passing off, coming out to set up screens, picking up guys outside, and sacrificing himself for team play.”

“I don't sleep some days because I remember some of the games against Wilt when he scored 62 points against me and got 55 rebounds on my head”

“Nobody seems to appreciate what an incredible player Wilt was. He was the best player of all time because he dominated the floor like nobody else ever could. To be that big and that athletic was special."
