Why was Kareem never the goat having made only 1 three pointer but 180O more buckets than Bron?

The difference between LeBron and every recent guy was he had the body to sustain NBA punishment.

Don't pretend that the growth from 17-19 isn't massive for every dude out there.

Yet Melo who was the same age still had a better rookie season, at worse they were equals.

Wilt on almost every record but people wanna talk about everyone else to keep the goat conversation alive.

I wanna hear the arguments against

Wilt the most physically impressive easily but he lost too many times to be the goat

And LeBron and his stacked decks haven't?

 

[DlAMONDZ]

Because "Magic > Kareem" was the consensus for decades

It's only until recently that the "Kareem GOAT" narrative popped up. Probably in response to Bron stans claiming their hero was the GOAT because of longevity

Lebron not my goat either

I'm a huge wilt fan and even went to his florida restaurant many years ago

As much as I'd like to say hes the goat, I cant make the argument over kareem or jordan

Melo wasn't the same age. He's a year older

Bron record is impressive but not everyone got to come in at 18 AND get a significant role from day 1..Kobe had to pay dues same as Tmac and KG..Bron was handed the keys day 1

Big facts. It's obvious Kobe could've been dropping 25+ by year 2 or 3 if he was in Charlotte.

I don't know how you can't, it's not a difficult one to make...

Kareem is benefitting more from recency bias than anyone. 15+ years back/pre-2010s, he was no consensus Top 3. If you can't make a case against him as GOAT you just really don't want to ...

He is not. He's 6 months older. Essentially the same age. The majority of their rookie season they were both 19 years old.

I can make a case against kareem for jordan.

Making a case for wilt is difficult vs kareem and jordan when losing to russell has to be contended with

I cant make a case for him either

But the statement was in regards to wilt

When i say make a case, I mean a good one. Not any. A federal prosecutor doesnt bring charges unless its airtight for the big dogs
