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

I always say Michael Jordan is the best NBA player of all time

Kareem is the Greatest basketball player of all time… from high school dominance, to UCLA dominance, to having college basketball banned dunking for 10 years because of him, risking his nba career before it started by standing behind Ali and then coming in the league holding his own against Wilt, helping Oscar get a ring and going on winning with the LakeShow

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

No it's because Kareem is a dikkhead.

There have always been a handfull of basketball purists that have argued in his favor even over Jordan. Now I don't agree, but it's interesting how even with his resume, impact, influence and even the current all time points record holder, he couldn't get over the hump. He was stand-off ish to a fault, by his own admission.

MJ > Kareem but the gap seems wider than it is because of that fact. It wasn't like people waited til Jordan had a comparable resume to crown him...he was already being called one of, if not THE greatest before he became THAT, people already saw it and felt it and he just confirmed it further.

If having more total points didn't move the need for Malone, Kobe or even Cap, it shouldn't for Bron either. But if/when it does, it damn sure won't be about actual substance, it's gonna be based on perception. LBGT gonna sandbag mike for being a bully or some shyt.

And LeBron and his stacked decks haven't?

This is such a dumb ass take. Every NBA championship team had a “stacked deck” except for the 04 Pistons, 11 Mavs & 19 Raptors.

Look at the 07 Cavs finals team..the fact they made it that far is wild. He waited for years for the Cavs to improve the roster but they never did & took his career in his own hands.

And let’s not act like LeBron is the first/only player to do this.

MJ had Chicago bring the best defensive player in the league on the Bulls

Kobe had the Lakers bring in Nash & Howard in an attempt to win more rings

Wade had Shaq in 06

KD & the Warriors

Kareem to the Lakers

The failed “stacked deck” of Malone and GP to the 04 Lakers..

Just because you bring in other good players to a team doesn’t guarantee you’ll win a title.

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

:mjlol: :dead:

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

You live in an alternate fukking reality :mjlol:

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.”

2009



You Similac nikkas wipe that shyt off your breath the next time you speak to a Don.

Jordan stans are special :pachaha:
Word my favorite player of all time is Duncan so kill that Jordan shyt.

Just the sheer level of self-aggrandization....shyt is disgusting, f'real.
