how many players have been argued as the GOAT

[kennethgriffin]

- George Mikan
- Bill Russell
- Wilt Chamberlain
- Kareem Abdul Jabbar
- Michael Jordan
- Kobe Bryant


i'm assuming theres are the 6 guys who have at one point in time been all argued by atleast 25% of the population to be the GOAT

some more so than others.

Most would say he is the most overrated

[christian1923]

Magic Johnson

[DMAVS41]

Bird and Magic definitely were...


Kobe...

[kennethgriffin]

Fixed.

you do realize what "argued" means right?

and atleast 25%?

during kobes high points hes gotten than much ( and some )

[rlsmooth775]

Oh and by the way Op Lebron has been better than Kobe for about 10 years now. How could he be argues as the goat

[kennethgriffin]

Bird and Magic?

they were never really argued as the goat. were always in the shadows of russell/wilt/kareem IMO

[kennethgriffin]

Oh and by the way Op Lebron has been better than Kobe for about 10 years now. How could he be in consideration for goat.

are you sure he hasnt been better than kobe since birth?

or did lebron only pass kobe by default during his decline in 2011.. which is more realistic

I have personally argued that Magic is the GOAT, but I'm not arrogant enough to put him on a list like that.

LeBron passed him since at least 09

[kennethgriffin]

magics career lacked defensive accomplishments/ total years/ career totals/ scoring ability

he was a great playmaker but had more holes in his game/career than a slice of swiss cheese


birds career also lacked in totals/longevity. i think he was only top 10 in scoring like 3 or 4 seasons. short prime.

[kennethgriffin]

no. lebron didnt learn his first post move till 2012. nore did he have any footwork or midrange game.

he was stat padding and hogging a bunch with basic plays inside 2 feet. good for him. but kobe was at the peak of his game still

i'l give lebron 2011 and on.. a tie in 2013

- Michael Jordan (GOAT)
- Wilt Chamberlain (can be argued... but not very convincingly)
- Kareem Abdul Jabbar (can be argued... but not very convincingly)
