ONES gotta GO : JORDAN, TYSON, BONDS, LT

[nomoreneveragain]

I'd rather pay money to see the other 3 before Bonds.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

why did he slug and produce less runs per at bat in the playoffs? especially when juicing? makes no sense. just admit he wasnt as good in the postseason, which takes him out of any kind of GOAT talk

no

it doesn't.

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

Reality is that he's a 7 time MVP, and produced seasons to a level never to be seen again. There isn't gonna be 73 HRs again. There isn't gonna be 45 HRs when walked 232 times again. There may not be a .480 OBP for a long time much less at age 42 in the NL. There isn't gonna be a 500/500 player again. There were better more accomplished boxers before during and after Tyson.

but he wasn't as good in the playoffs so clearly Bryce Harper > > > > barry bonds

in terms of impact, influence and importance to the evolution of the individual sport and overall culture of sports in retrospect? i think i'm going with tyson...easily.

 

[dh86]

The thread said One Gotta Go. So I picked the guy who played 80% of his career in relative obscurity

Great player tho.

Barry Bonds played in obscurity? How dumb can these posts go.

 

[ghostwriterx]

he was walked literally 1/3rd of the time

52 walks, 151 at bats

hard to put up numbers when you are being walked 33% of the time, literally. But hey ill let you cook

in 2002, his crazy year, he was walked 27 times out of 45 at bats he was walked over 50% of the time he walked to the plate but you expect him to put him numbers just crazy unrealistic expectations man

ill let yall cook with this bull shyt though

his post-season numbers were bad with the Pirates too though.

I'm judging them based on their athletic peaks and their importance/iconic status in sports history. We'll probably never see a 21 year old heavyweight champ again either.
Its impossible to use stats to objectively compare athletes across different sports. If it's about sustained greatness then Tyson shouldn't have been included in the first place...

 

[DonKnock]

no

it doesn't.

Then you might as well throw Marino in there too

 

[Tide Run This]

Bonds
Jordan
Tyson


LT he main evented the WOAT Wrestlemania

 

[SoulController]

no

it doesn't.

why?

thats what made Jordan Jordan, no one cared about his 33 PPG in the 80's, they talk about the Jazz shot, the Ehlo shot etc.

whats Barry highlight in 7 postseasons?

Relative to the other 3? Absolutely.

The idea of sample size eludes you

 

[Ed MOTHEREFFING G]

ya know

i'm not gonna engage with someone who says:

7 time MVP
73 HRs
45 HRs when walked 232 times
.609 OBP
500/500 player
7x slg % leader
lead mlb in walks 13x

is not a legit GOAT candidate because of his performance in the small sampling size of baseball playoffs. You're really lookin stupid here SC

 

[Lucky_Lefty]

.245/9/24 in 48 games sucks for any 3/4 hitter in that big of a sample

Beltran in the offs>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Barry

Really? A cat who watched a third strike w/o swinging to end a WS over arguably the greatest hitter ever?

they aint even let Barry swing the bat in 2002/2003 just walked his ass damn near everytime he went to the plate

but yeah hes garbage cause he aint get no RBI's while being walked
