DUDES LOOK LIKE CLOWNS
WHEN THEY START BRING UP
HIGH SCHOOL/COLLEGE
WHEN DISCUSSING BEST NBA PLAYER EVER.
IT REALLY MAKES THEIR ARGUMENT LOOK WEAK
WHEN YOU HAVE TO REACH LIKE THAT.
YOU KNOW HOW MANY BUSTS DOMINATED
AT THE HIGHSCHOOL AND COLLEGE LEVEL?
WE TALKING GROWN MEN shyt.
HS career though?His high school career is nothing like Kareem's, nor was his college career even.
Kareem is legitimately the greatest college player ever, and it's probably between he and LeBron as greatest high school player ever.
And that's not a slight to Jordan on ANY level, it's just a testament to Cap's greatness.
I don't know who I have between Jordan/Kareem/LeBron as the GOAT, but all of these guys have incredible arguments.
I might take Jordan's peak on my team, LeBron if I were starting a team from scratch/beginning of everyone's career, and Kareem's overall career, so they all have ties to being the GOAT in a way.

Facts...... but one thing about your other post.....its not overrating the all time scoring record it just shows he put in work for 20plus seasons n was still effective which is amazing least that's how I look at it

In general I would say no.
But when the debate is THIS close, you gotta use everything I guess.
Did Jordan or Kareem do enough during either of their pro careers to absolutely separate themselves from the other? I don't think so personally, so why not use their full careers?HS career though?
I do know that most Jordan supports kinda subscribe to the 6 Year Theory though, where only the peak counts.
Really no wrong or right answer I suppose.
YET HE ONLY WON ONE RING IN THE 70S.PLAYED THE WHOLE DECADE WITH 1 RING...
GOT 5 IN THE 80S
WHEN THE BEST PLAYER OF THE 80S JOINED THE TEAM.
MJ>>MAGIC>>KAJ

And why bring up busts when we're talking about KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR breh.
You'd be making sense if somebody was saying that OJ Mayo was better than Jordan because of his high school exploits.
But, hey, throw out college and high school, Kareem still has a strong argument.

The Takeover
Moses>>>>>>>Kareem 
I don't know about that... It goes both ways. While big men need guards to get them the ball on offense, big men have far more of an impact on defense. A big man can single handedly anchor a defense, no perimeter player can do that. In addition to guarding their own man like everyone else, big men have the responsibility of protecting the rim against all players, guarding the PnR, etc. Then you also have to factor in that they're far more responsible for rebounding than anyone else.
KAREEM WON ONE RING IN 10 SEASONS
BEFORE MAGIC ALONG.
THOSE WERE HIS PEAK YEARS RIGHT?
ITS NOT A CLOSE ARGUMENT.
HES NO GOAT.

He is the GOAT for much more than his play.
MJ transcended the game of basketball from a guard perspective. All the eras before him were centered around a dominating big man. What KAJ was doing was nothing different from wilt or russell. But what MJ did was unprecedented and unheard of. A SG dominating the league like that, two three peats without a dominant big man. Yeah MJ is the clear GOAT
