    There is no case for Lebron as the goat. There never will be.

    Maybe. If he wins another and has 5 and all those records and the longevity he has to be considered. It will always be Jordan then Kobe for me. All the skills and supreme competitors.

    Everything is subjective guys there is no official list.... It's all based off of personal preference. Some will have him as GOAT and some won't. That will be the same for other players.

    Agreed.

    I started to enjoy sports much more when I stopped worrying about GOAT arguments. It only takes a few childhood heroes to retire to realise how short careers are and its far better to enjoy the present then hate on someone who came before/after your favourite player.

    As an example; Lebron. One of the best to ever do it. He isn't Kobe. But his unique makeup is amazing - you should enjoy him while he is here. And the next guy too.

    I'm sitting here at this Denny's smiling reading this post.

    I think I know what the problem: you secretly love the Kang and this is your bizarre way of expressing your love for the GOAT.

    I see what you're doing.

    KAJ all day…I can’t put MJ as the GOAT because for seven years he was a whipping boy when I was watching/following closely the NBA back in the 80s. MJ was a sideshow until everyone got older. Just like Isaiah Thomas who beat him regularly does not consider him the GOAT:Laugh:

    No I don’t !!! I never liked the guy, The only time I rooted for him was vs GS in the finals with CLE … I always thought it was such a poverty move for us to sign him … But I know Jeanie loves to party and experiment with different drugs . Dr BUSS would’ve never made this move .

    Dr. Buss loved stars. He would have had no problem signing Bron. I think I know who likes to party and experiment with different drugs.
