Chronicling 3ball’s GOAT lists over time (hilarious)

Yes rankings will change over the course of a decade

My rankings get more insightful as time goes on and we get closer to the truth

Currently, we've evolved to the point that we realize team-hoppers get downgraded because they don't know how to win (organic), while centers and ball-dominators get downgraded because their rigid skillsets need ridiculous amounts of help.

[kuniva_dAMiGhTy]

All his 'rankings' are based around Lebron.

But hey, at least he mustered up the courage to rank Kobe GOAT. :lol

[SouBeachTalents]

Of the plethora of options, I think my favorite sequence is Kawhi being top 10 in July 2019, dropping out of the 25 five months later, still being outside the top 10 in July of this year, then being moved up to top 4 despite not having played a single game 4 months later :lol

3ball has a revolving door of 30-40 players for his top 10. All for the sake of arguing against LeBron ;)

[Shogon]

The OP exposes you as an inconsistent lunatic lol

The fact that he's trying to justify his shifting all over the place should tell you definitively that it is a troll account.

People think he's being serious. And there may be some seriousness there. To what degree, I don't know... but it's not nearly as much as people think that it is.

3ball is contention for one of the most longstanding largely undetected troll accounts on ISH.

You aren't arguing with a real person's real views most of the time, for what it's worth.

Some people will chalk it up to mental illness... no. He is trolling. Point blank period.

Lmao, what a lunatic.

[tpols]

I think 3ball has said every player sucks except MJ, Kobe, Hakeem and Bird. Kareem, Shaq, and Wilt suck because they're big men. Russell sucks because he has no offense. Magic and LeBron suck because they dribble too much. Basically only off ball players with GOAT skill that can win without superstar 2nd options are good. But then you ask him about Curry who has GOAT skill and off ball ability and won a championship and 73 wins with only klay Thompson and he'll say that guy sucks too.

Very astute observation.

[999Guy]

It’s funny because it’s pathetic. You see women and **** move goal posts with emotion and make beliefs based on essentially nothing.

LeBron is like a menstrual cycle for this guy. He’ll just say and do whatever the ****, thousands of times on this forum, with the confidence and arrogance of a jackass.

People think a thread like this is too much attention for him but really that’s the cost of being frivolous with what you say. There is nothing he could ever say that anyone would respect as an honest opinion, which why he spams.

The difference between Curry and other off-ball goats is that he's reliant on threes... which need to be open 70% of the time for him (85% for the league)... Since Curry needs to be open, he struggles in the clutch and against the top comp, and therefore is a dimension below guys like MJ, Kobe, Bird, etc (who don't need to be open).. However, I'm considering putting him in my top 10 out of sheer convenience for my underlying argument, as you alluded to

He just can’t be consistent :yaohappy:

[3ba11]

Curry's need to be open puts him below MJ/Kobe/Bird, but this drawback is offset by other benefits like goat ball-movement, goat spacing, goat brand of ball, goat teammate elevation, and most importantly - HE ISN'T A TEAM-HOPPER AND KNOWS HOW TO WIN (ORGANIC)

That's enough to put him in my top 10, especially considering he passes the "dumb media award" test too (accolades)

great question... I'm leaning below because Dirk didn't need to be open

So Dirk is in the top 10 too?

How about Gervin? He didn't need to be open. Nor did Tmac or Melo.

There's no reason for guys that need shit-tons of help to win (centers and ball-dominators), or for guys that don't know HOW to win (team-hoppers) to be in the top 5... Only guys that won without ridiculous help and know how to win (organic) deserve the high ranking

The 4th guy on your list load-managed his way out of San Antonio to Toronto in 2018. In 2019 left Toronto for LA. Dude was a member of 3 different franchises within 2 years but yeah, not a team hopper. And then there's KD at number nine who, well we don't need to rehash his journey the last 5 years, do we?

The list isn't perfect and KD probably shouldn't be on there because he doesn't really know how to win (organic), but I tended to give him a pass because his super-teams were formed only to combat the unfairness of Lebron's super-teams, which had terrorized the league from 2011-2016.

And the reality is that there are very few non-center and non-ball-dominator, organic winners..... So at some point, those guys have to start populating the rankings - for my rankings, that was around 9 or 10

Kawhi doesn't only know how to team-hop - he knows how to win (organic)

Knowing how to win is pretty important and actually quite rare, so this coupled with his dominant run/stats/performance is enough for me.

Longevity-related issues mean very little in determining who played basketball the best.. Winning without super-teams or 1b sidekicks (carry-job) demonstrates ability more than longevity does.

Please. Kawhi's first championship he was a role player who had a great last 3 games to close out the finals. Wasn't even the top scorer on the team( Tony Parker edged him). 2nd chip, you can thank KD going down because the Raptors don't beat that team if healthy. And he TEAMHOPPED onto the Raptors who had won 59 games the prior year. He literally did the opposite of the thing you're trying to credit him with.

Jordan beat the most teams that had more talent, aka the 96' Sonics had 3 all-stars, and so did the 93' Suns - most other teams had far more good players like the Blazers or Lakers

Bulls had lower caliber like Cartwright or Grant, who were dominated by Vlade/Perkins or Duckworth/Williams

it was always his game plan to put Kobe as GOAT, we've seen the notions thrown in here and there - and I dont put it past him and Kenny being on zoom calls ironing out the angles either, they're too concise with each other

Lebron has just derailed both of their worlds, moreso in the past decade for them where they have gone off the edge in having to create new users time and time again so the vast onlookers dont search their dumb af track record.
