Why would people be calling Kareem the GOAT in 2022, when very few were calling him that back in the 90s?

This is what I was getting at in a thread before that was bushed. Why would someone like Bron be seen as The GOAT in 30 years when he’s been playing for 20 years and the majority of people STILL don’t feel he’s the greatest. If anything your generation would be the most inclined to champion you. Ali still holds, Ruth still holds, Jordan still holds & now Brady holds

Was KAJ considered the GOAT when he was playing, like MJ was ? If yes, was he still considered the GOAT 20 years later?

Regardless times passes so obviously some players are more mentionned than others, and centers usually get a raw deal precisely because of how MJ changed the game. That being said, KAJ is regularly mentionned even here on The Coli, so I wouldn't say he's forgotten.

Abdul is forgotten because his prime was before the boom and most remember him as being Magic sidekick. MJ is not only the GOAT basketball player who’s popularity transcended America but he has built a brand from everything from shoes to fukking memes. STD Wade is the one who will be forgotten since he’s only claim to fame is getting ho’d/carried by Lebron and having a trans son who was probably molested by his white male sitter

C'mon guy.... Michael Jordan is the reason YOU get left out of some conversations of greatness. We have to talk about Jordan, then Kobe, then Wade.

There are new Jordans dropping TODAY. Wade has no credibility in discussions like this.


Look in 50 years our grandkids in the meta verse aren’t going to give a damn about Michael Jordan. He will just be the brand of a shoe and a former team owner. Who played in a time where humans played against humans without enhancements.
