    Yea if you take into account college it's no question. He is the GOAT in basketball, but he's not the GOAT in the NBA. If you only looked at his accomplishments as an NBA player, it'd be hard to put him over MJ.

    Yeah, Russell and Kareem are definitely #1 and #2 in some order if you include college.

    The funny thing here is that before Kareem complained about his GOAT standing, or how the Lakers treated him, he was mostly not top 2 on people's GOAT list here in ISH.

    Kareem is the only player who was a GOAT candidate at every level he played. Wilt, Magic, Jordan and Bird are only for the NBA, Russell (the closest one) wasn't a HS legend, Oscar falls a little behind in the NBA sector. So, if you put some weight at every level they played (say, 10% H.S, 20% College, 70% pros), he may have the most distinguished career.

    KAJ is my GOAT. I tend to lower the value of smaller players in comparison to incredibly skilled C's.

    If you get to pick 1 player...who ya got? MJ or KAJ? That chit is easy money for me. KAJ all day.

    I don't understand the "necessity" of a single, unanimous player.

    Why not "tier" the lists? Players and positions and eras are so varied...
