20th Gold Medal.

Good luck to him, but really, swimming

Sorry buddy, I don't really give a f#ck about Phelps.

I don't really care about swimming or Phelps. However, 20 gold medals is absolutely absurd. Phelps peak (2008) and overall longevity puts him in the conversation for GOAT athlete.

[AintNoSunshine]

GOAT Olympian? Sure.

It's fine if you think this but # of gold medals is a pretty dumb way to justify it. A swimmer can win numerous golds in one Olympics. A bball player can only get one.

You dont think if the Olympics also included a 3v3, a dunk contest, etc that MJ and LeThick wouldnt have a shitload of gold?? Of course they would.

But other swimmers can win more than one gold. We aren't comparing Jordan and phelps based on golds, but dominance in their sport.

No other swimmer has ever had even 10. Phelps now has 21. Probably will have at least 2 more before its over

Lavine and Gordon would beat Bran in a dunk contest easily. Maybe Bran would have another bronze medal if he could beat Griffin. Bran wouldn't even get bronze in a 3 point contest. 1 v 1? Bran would lose to KD and Kawhi so bronze at best. So Bran would definitely not have a shitload more gold. He would just have a couple more bronze medals.

Bran has 2 gold medals and 1 bronze medal in the Olympics. If Kobe didn't bail him out in 2008 he would have 1 gold, 1 silver, and 1 bronze.

Lebron is so shook that he wouldn't join the olympics unless kobe joined.
