Who is the G.O.A.T

The truth is, they probably haven't even been born yet!

But for now.....

 

LeBron James

 

Jordan hands down!

 

I refuse to vote until Raymond Felton is added to the poll.

 

I would say Jordan as he would have possibly had 8 in a row if he didn't take 2 years off for baseball. James is very close.

 

why is kobe on that list?

 

For profiling purposes

 

LeBron may be before he retires. But right now, it's not close. Jordan is 10 time scoring champion, 3 time steals champion, DPOY, more MVPs than LeBron, more NBA Finals MVPs than LeBron, more NBA championships, 1 NCAA championship, 2 time dunk champion. LeBron has a ways to go to make a case over Jordan.

 

I agree that Jordan is the best ever, but I think it is funny that Jordan seems to get a pass for taking 2 years off for baseball. Everyone assumes he would have won 8 in row, but the fact is he stepped away from the game (whatever the real reason may be), shouldn't that be seen as a negative?

 

Kobe was Jordan clone but not quite as good.

 

Jordan doesn't need "would've won 8" to be better than LeBron. He won SIX.

 

Yeah, I'm not comparing him to Lebron. I just think it's strange he essentially gets a pass for taking two years off.

 

I don't think he gets a pass. He wouldn't have necessarily won. The team had to be rebuilt with Kukoc and Steve Kerr, and ultimately Rodman for Jordan to win three more.

 

Because HCP would complain otherwise.

 

Btw, Kobe went to NBA Finals 7 times (won 5 of them) in a much much more talented conference than LeBron is in. You can make a case for Kobe over LeBron if you want. And Magic Johnson went to Finals 9 times in 13 years and won 5 times. This "LeBron made it to 7 straight Finals!" isn't AS impressive as people make it. And in the first of the 7, he had two All Star teammates and Dirk had none but Dallas won the title that year.

 

LMFAO

 

Jordan.

4 people who never saw Jordan play voted for Lebron

 

But thats a hypothetical. It isnt a fact he would have won two more. Thought you dont do hypotheticals??????

 

Where's Hakeem ?

 

I'd put Duncan > Kobe on the all time list. Kobe is borderline top 10
