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

[In The Zone '98]

Kareem won 3 MVPs and 1 ring with the Bucks. Won 3 MVPs and 5 rings with the Lakers.

If you're over 55, he's probably your . And should be in everyone's top 5.

 

[MJ Truth]

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

This argument is dumb as fukk. Bron was handed the keys because he was better at that age than they were.

 

[fifth column]

I thought you meant you couldn't make a case for Bron, that's my bad...

I can make a case for Bron as goat over everyone except for Mike. Bron is legit #2 even though low key I personally think Kobe was better

 

[FAH1223]

Kareem should be GOAT but you have the Michael Jordan dikkriding industrial complex that prevented that

Jordan isnt number one in any category yet somehow he the GOAT

A lo

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

There were people in the 70s saying Kareem was the best player they’ve ever seen.

MJ was the 1st player I heard the media and general basketball public calling the greatest ever. Before that players were just respected as being greats, I could be wrong though

 

[murksiderock]

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

My answer doesn't change, we not making a case over here based in who I think looks better ...

No one has an "airtight" case over anyone when you're comparing players across eras. Russell didn't win those 11 rings in anyone's era but his own. Wilt didn't own the record books over anyone's era but his own. Mike didn't win 6 rings in anyone's era but his own. There is no such thing as an "airtight" case when we're crossing generations...

 

[Shadow King]

Big O

But anyway, I agree and think we should add kareem high school and college points to the total

He had 5 seasons between Oscar and Magic

 

[Shadow King]

Not as a JR in highschool lol. There's only been maybe 2-3 guys in NBA history who could have done that

KD is great but he needed a year to get stronger

He couldn't bench 185 after that year lol he never got strong I don't know about him getting legit pro minutes as a HS junior but strength wasn't the X-factor.

 

[Kaypain]

I don't understand the logic

Yall act like 3 pointers aren't one of the hardest shots in the game

 

[Juggalo Fred]

Let's not forget kareem started league as a 22 year old. Young kareem wouldve added another 7000pts in that span.

And maybe the additional time earlier would've made him retire sooner, NBA workload is way more than college

Most scoring titles all times
Most final mvps
Highest ppg average

??

Bill Russell wouldve had more finals MVPs if the award existed in his days

 

[GreatestLaker]

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

This is such a dumbass posts. Tmac, Kobe and KG were not physically ready. They were sticks coming out of high school. Bron was built like a 25 year old man.

He'd have at least 5 FMVPs for sure. A few of those FMVPs would have assuredly went to guys like Hondo, Howell, Sam, etc. But Russell would have at least 5 FMVPs and 5 DPOYs if they existed in his day...

 

[Gil Scott-Heroin]

Then don't comment Bron Stan's started this GOAT shyt MJ has always said there isn't a GOAT

I can't lie, your ability to just blatantly revise history with such conviction is hilarious.

You live in an alternate fukking reality

Jordan replied, “False. ‘Cause I didn’t play against all the great players prior to me and I had those other players to influence my game. I mean that’s, I mean it’s a great honor don’t get me wrong. But I love to had played against Jerry West to determine if I was a better guard than him or Oscar Robertson. But we’ll never know.”
