Tom Brady leaves LeBron James off of his Mount Rushmore of GOATS and not just in favor of Mike :mjgrin:

[Shadow King]

Imagine disregarding the credibility of people who ACTUALLY competed against these guys. Their opinions are the only that matter to be honest. Get of your high horse brodie, you're an armchair critic, a mere spectator--just like the rest of us. So yes, their opinions have heavier value than your's, anonymous guy behind a keyboard.

I'm sure you don't apply this logic when someone has LeBron as the GOAT, nor do you apply this to anything else.

Unless you've made Grammy-winning albums or an Oscar-winning film I better not see you in the Booth or Film Room critiquing anything.

 

[Ozymandeas]

Tryna force everybody to call you GOAT is the saddest shyt ever.

Athletes never complying is the funniest

"Alternate reality" when in real life Tom Brady and other athletes prove this right all the time.

Literally, in the OP, Tom just proved this to be true. Not just with Kobe, all the athletes he named besides Angel Reese follow the same theme.


You Bron cocksuckers are the ones in an alternate reality, literally have spent 20 years creating an alternate reality about MJ's career and the entire narrative of the NBA's past eras.

That shyt is pretty sad actually, lol.

Imagine spending all your days tearing down every player who's ever played (Jordan, Kobe, KD, etc.) because you want to prop your guy up.

On some "I'm not wrong, everyone else is wrong" shyt

They don't even like basketball. It starts and ends with LeBron for them.

Imagine doubling down on that stupidity.

Goodness.

So Kendrick Perkins opinions on basketball means more because he played?

Than YOUR opinion? YES! You dudes are incredible, lol. You don't think a guy who had to actually guard LeBron and Kobe IN REAL LIFE has more intel on who's the better player than a guy who only plays with LeBron when he turns on 2K?! I'm not comprehending. Social media platforms have you weirdos thinking that your opinion means something. Don't quote me anymore dawg. You gotta be a teenager or something.

According to your criteria, the discussion is over. Ya'll better not shoehorn Kobe in this convo again. The athletes have decided

According to NBA players, the GOAT debate consists of only two players and everyone else is in a distant rearview mirror.

Michael Jordan edged out LeBron James as the greatest player in NBA history, according to a poll of 133 players conducted by The Athletic. Jordan received 45.9 percent of the vote, while James came in at 42.1 percent.

Kobe Bryant was a distant third place at 9.8 percent, while Stephen Curry, Magic Johnson and Paul Pierce each received 0.8 percent—the equivalent to one vote apiece.

The vast majority of observers—both players and fans—acknowledge Jordan and James as the two greatest players in NBA history.

You have terrible reading comprehension.

He said top athletes respect Kobe because he was the closest to MJ. It makes sense Brady would respect Kobe over Bron. Kobe wanted to beat everybody and he did for the most part. LeBron teamed up with people. Lastly, SMH at saying Kobe failed but you think a guy with less rings who team hopped three times succeeded

Nikka are you illiterate? He was responding to someone asking for proof about athletes putting Kobe over Jordan

I mean flatly yes he tried to copy Jordan and he was a worse version of him. Lebron is his own player. Hes not trying to copy Jordan’s play style

Jesus Christ is this whole forum filled with Nikkas who can’t fukn read?

42% of NBA players have LeBron as the GOAT

Who is the NBA GOAT: LeBron or Jordan? For current players, longevity is narrowing the gap

According to our player poll, the greatest of all time hasn't changed. But it's not as clear-cut as it was even a year ago.

Social media gotta be in a category or some shyt wit it as a mental illness at this point. shyt crazy. Goofies on twitter sayin a NBA player sometimes even a star player and HOF or future HOF can't talk bout the next player while they think they ass who couldn't make they bum ass middle school team got any credibility in hoop convos some of these nikkas don't even hoop in real life just 2K too shyt wild in 2025

 

[fifth column]

MJ can't be the GOAT if the criteria is rings/winning/clutch. That would be Russell.

MJ can't be the GOAT if the criteria is stats. That would be Bron.

MJ can't be the GOAT if the criteria is longevity. That would be Bron and Cap.

MJ is the goat

 

[fifth column]

It is really strange how they gloss over this

MJs record is PPG. That’s essentially it

If that’s the case then y LeBron trying to live up to MJ’s legacy, why don’t he chase the “real goat” whoever thats supposed to be.

Y’all blind witnesses just need to stop with the mental gymnastics already

 

[fifth column]

The GOAT shyt is so stupid it's too subjective it should be BOAT

Boat would be a position by position comparison. Goat is impact, dominance, influence, leading a dynasty over the competition in your era etc..
