Chris Bosh: “To replace LeBron as the GOAT someone will have to play 18+ years”

[AirBonner]

Of prime basketball. Chris Bosh bringing the facts

Outside of one bubble year in 2020


Lebron has done nothing since year 15 besides stat pad his longevity totals and All NBA teams.



On the other hand, Jordan was so secure in his Goat status that he walked away twice in his prime and most people still consider him the Goat.


Furthermore

Michael Jordan played 11 full seasons for the Chicago Bulls.

He led the league in scoring in 10 of those seasons

In addition to claiming the scoring title in those other 10 seasons with Chicago, MJ was 9x 1st team All-Defense including a DPOY award in '88, 5x MVP, and 6x Finals MVP.

MJ's dominance is well known, as well as most of his accomplishments.
But the fact he achieved so much in essentially just 10 seasons worth of work is incredible.

Other great players such as Kobe, Kareem, and Duncan (also probably LeBron) spend close to 20 years in the league and still fall short of matching MJ's achievements.

I've seen people bring this theory up before, and it's completely ridiculous . Players clearly play longer today than they did 25 years ago, and GOAT status has nothing to do with it. Brady has a stronger case for GOAT in his sport than Jordan does and he's still out here playing in his 23rd season at 45. Nadal & Djokovic are in their late 30's and will probably play until 40, which is what Federer did. It's silly to theorize LeBron would've retired already if he was the consensus GOAT, and Brady still playing completely debunks this theory.

lol why? Because Chris Bosh says so?

[SATAN]

lol why? Because Chris Bosh says so?

Because an increasing number of people that aren't casuals or 50 year old media whores come to the realization.

[TheGoatest]

Bosh knows how extraordinary it is to accomplish what LeBron is doing. There are many players who can play at an elite level for an 8-10 year stretch. There are a couple who can do so for a 12-14 year stretch. But so far only one who has done it for 18 seasons.

[┌∩┐(﹒︠益﹒︡)┌∩┐]

So if someone is a fringe all star for 25 years straight do they surpass him? Seems like Chris Bosh believes so.

Scrub Bosh, according to the LeStans. I can't take serious what a player the same LeFam disregard as a scrub

[Spurs m8]

Doesn't even make sense lol

It’s funny because Bosh came to this realization when he scored 0pts in a finals game and LeBron still carried them to victory

That's a pretty good summary right there. Bronies will have a hard time comprehending it though.

it isn't 1993 dumbass...means absolutely nothing.

[Johnny32]

oh and back in reality and current times...mj was so hurrr, secure in his legacy as the goat...that he green-lighted an old 98 bulls doc he previously had no interest in doing until 3-1 happened.

[bison]

Considering Jordan achieved more than lebron in fewer sessions, Bosh’s logic therefore makes absolutely no sense.
