Only 3 people belong in the goat debate and that's Kareem, Jordan, and Bron. All other suggestions are dumb and biased, whether your just a Lakers fan (Kobe and magic debators) or just a fucking old man (wilt and Bill debators)
And people’s bias is the reason why lebron doesn’t have more MVPs. Old heads who cherish Mike deliberately vote for other players so 👑 couldn’t have more than Mike. No way in hell that lebron doesn’t have more than 4 MVPs. Clearly a bias
yes, exactly. I truly do not understand why people can't just come to the conclusion that there is a huge difference between your favorite and the objective best.@@minhn2888
I wish he lasted long enough to say this bullshit to bron when he was playing 😂😂😂 he would never say none of this on camera. Only players I seen hate on that man on tape is the Celtics dudes but even they gave him more respects than dude lmao
And that is exactly it in a nutshell. Kareem knows this. He said you can not define one GOAT, because everyone played different eras, teammates, competition, different coaches, different rules, etc. If Kareem, Magic, Bird, Mike, Kobe, etc played in a culture that rewarded stat chasing and accepted “well, he won rings by teaming up with every new shiny All-NBA player”, then they’d have numbers too. The shit boils down to what narrative each person values. You like longevity and numbers you can point to, that’s Bron. You like the ability to do it on your own, that’s Kobe. You like just winning, that’s Mike. You like dominance, that’s Shaq. Etc. GOAT debates just can not be won.
Gil, here's an idea. Do it like a test and pass out those same numbers without any names on the paper, past it out and have them to circle either player A, B, C, D, then see how many of the crew have the same player circle
I think you are leaving out a lot of things... Theres a lot that contribute that dont appear in the box score. Wemby s a good example of this (not that he is somewhat close to the goat debate) but thanks to Wemby, there are a lot of shots not being taken, lots of bad shots being taken. Curry is another example, thanks to his gravity, how many points his teammates scored ? Thats not showed but are very important
@jwg0814 This topic was on who they considered the GOAT. Gil read off 4 or 5 different players' stats without saying who the players were. All I'm suggesting is use that same metric and give each one a paper on it. Let them circle the one player who they think is the GOAT. So if McCants says player A (Kobe) is the GOAT, but if he circles another player, then we know McCants is not believing in his own words.
@jeffreylanier222 any basketball minded player knows who they are without saying the name KD was the 1st person he name kobe was the player with 12 1st team defensive team lebron was the one with 4 finals mvps and Jordan was the 1 with a dpoy
@WayneWilcots you will be surprised who doesn't. The point will be see if those who say who their goat is, you should be able to match that person name with his stats.
exactly! being the goat is not about scoring the most career points. nobody was calling Kareem the goat when he had that title. but i give Lebron his credit for doing that and being healthy his whole career but Durant sat out for damn near 2 seasons. so impossible for him to reach that. Durant has a higher PPG career average than lebron.. but Jordan and Wilt tied for highest career ppg. like it’s so many factors. You have to look at everything. Jordan has the most accolades in NBA history so he’s the goat imo, and the most exciting to watch.
@@penkima4923 he's essentially saying that Kevin Durant is a better player because of "move-set" but then he breaks down that moves set into just scoring. It's more about basketball than just putting the ball through the hoop
@@corpyhogan4433i mean would you break down “move set” into defense and rebounds? No. His argument is more so in terms of skills and ability there's not really a goat player who can match him.
@@FF-KillThemAlll 🤔 Plenty of ppl had Kareem as the goat, before Jordan. In fact in many ppls list the top 3 are Mj, Bron, and Kareem. With that being said KD is great, but not in the greatest of all time debate
Wtf is mccants talking about? Your Kobe GOAT argument can’t be “He’s a bad mf, we never seen anybody do what he did.” We actual did see it from the guy he literally copy and pasted his game from in MJ. There isn’t a single replicated thing in this world that is better than the original. Not a cereal, chip, painting, diamond, game
'Dr. J', Julius Erving was the first player with a shoe deal with Converse, the same year that he became the NBA's highest-paid player, his first year with the New Jersey Nets. He was the most exciting, electrifying, and my favorite player. I saw Dr. J do the things Jordan and others since do athletically...but in the 1970's. He dunked from the free throw line in the 1st NBA dunk contest, which he won against some serious dunkers. He did that routinely in games as a Virginia Squire. He was black excellence on the court and in public.
@@versatillion15They play differently. Kyrie has better handles. Other than that, impact wise, finishing, shooting, Off ball movement.... Steph is better at everything. Sure Kyrie finishes stylishly but they're both equally efficient in paint.
Kobe proved to nba he can win back to back championship with a center that avg 17ppg has lebron ever won a championship without a 20 and 10 player or even a player than avg less than 23 ppg as his second the answer is no, that's the reason he went dwade, a reason he went kyrie and reason he had ad traded. Everyone thought that kobe couldnt win without shaq and he went on to win with no allstar no top 75 player.
@@JREAM302 I'm with you in this my guy, the 2008-2010 run is one of the most hardest runs + the first 3 peat, Shaq's pts differential in 01 is 1pt and 1.9 in 02, hence destroying the sidekick narrative
Honestly bron ain't in the convo. He dont behave like a great. Not a killer mentally. Cries like a broad 99% of the time. He's not a goat convo participant with real fans and ball intellects. MJ is goat. Therfor it isn't debatable. Now we can talk about greatest players. But there is only one goat. And its MJ. Debate over who #2 is lol. Cause #1 was decided 😌
I love the combinations of takes from these guys, but in an argument Gil is the only one that keeps his ground. McCants is the person that makes assumptions instead of showing the ability to express to someone who doesn’t just SEE what he means.
Been saying this… Your career is your RESUME, at work you don’t put your downfalls in there. And for some reason we seem to ignore all the negatives of retired players in the debate. It’s an imbalanced comparison, so you need to weigh up all positives. The players that stack up at the top 2, THEN we can start weighing negatives to see the GOAT
@tydon_23 you have to account the 6 nba finals losses across the board not vs mj but vs kobe, duncan, Kareem etc etc. Only reason LeBron fans want only the positive because if you bring in the negative its no way he's top 5 ruining their agenda
@@melgoatMJ 6-0 IS OVERRATED IT NOT A INDIVIDUAL SPORT IT A TEAMSPORT. MJ had the better head coach and team. Had to QUIT TWICE because he couldn't get pass the first round.

BRANDON JENNINGS SAID YOU CANT BE THE GOAT IF NIGGAS DIDNT WANNA FUCK WITH YOU OFF THE COURT...THAT AUTOMATICALLY TAKES KOBE OUT THE CONVERSATION.,.....NO NBA PLAYER WANTED TO HANG WITH KOBE OFF THE COURTS .ALL OF HIS TEAMMATES CONFIRMED ... ESPECIALLY AFTER HE SNITCHED ON SHAQ
Not really because to say that and compare that to the LBJ Kobe argument would mean Kob was JUST skill... you can say that about Kyrie because he did nothing else but team hop and show how skillful he is. Didn't lead a team didn't win another chip he's strictly box office...Kobe was it all. He was skillful, determined, a killer and got it done with no other top 75 players after Shaq and lead his team to 3 appearances. That's beyond just skill so they argument they are trying to make is oh JUST skills matter no not just skills it's everything even beyond statsc and that's why he said why isn't Duncan your GOAT that point was to prove that all the other shit matters too how the person's game LOOKED
@@chocboiwonda6810 not really sure what you're saying but the reason why the Kyrie point killed it is because one would easily consider Kyrie more skilled than Magic and even Curry but skills, and even how it looks, is not all that matters. Not sure why you're missing that. And if you're comparing Bron & Kobe, the body of work is there to do so. Bron was never second best on his team at any time in his career, the same cannot be said for Kob. Bron's greatest teammate was Wade versus Kob's greatest teammate, SHAQ! Lol smh. I also take into account leadership in which Kobe didn't have to do for the majority of his championships if it all (Fisher was captain). Whereas Bron had the highest pressure to perform of all-time, especially in the social media era, and he still met the expectations. Understand?
@@spiritualgangstallcyes but Kobe accomplished more with less. His two rings w/o Shaq are far more impressive than Bron’s rings except for his Cleveland ring
@@lreez977 Less? Bron clearly has led some of the worst teams in history to the finals and championships, let's be honest. Except Cleveland? So you're actually saying one not two lol. Kobe against Orlando was a wash c'mon man. Also, Bron has the two hardest rings in history.
Joining GSW is not what killed the KD GOAT convo. It's that you decided to join Kyrie and ain't done ish in your career since you left GSW. If you had 5 rings right now the convo would be diff.
Cowards Kobe not even close he is a fan favorite. God bless him and what happen. Kobe Goat heart all day !! KD sit back… Jordan Kareem Lebron everyone else second tier. Bottom line. 2nd tier the rest of the others Kobe Lebron yes I mentioned him twice. Duncan shaq man go down the line
2 seasons he played less than 20 games so he really “played” 13 full seasons. And those 2 seasons with the Wizards was just recreational lol. So 11 seasons, 6 rings. Jordan math 101
GOAT'S are determined by all factors of the game accolades are a bulk of it but personality plays a key if you're going to be considered this generations 🐐 right now It's LeBron and he's still playing so KD may be 4th or 5th behind Joker and Embid
@@AlmightyDerrickRosecan’t lead an actual team the golden state warriors team wasn’t really his team he was just the most talented on that team it’s a difference he has to show that he can put them boys on his back one time and make it up that mountain
@@SilentmoneykalWell that's an a invalid argument perpetuated by the media. Let's break it down, he's played for 4 teams. Okc was a finals team and multi wcf finals team so he led that team. Gsw was a finals team kd was fmvp twice. Bk didn't go well and phx just started. So 2 of the teams he was on he led to aat least the finals…and yes the finals matters because even Jimmy butler gets credit for “leading” the heat. So realistically the only valid example you have of him not being able to led a team is Brooklyn. 3 years out of a 15 year career where he made the finals multiple times. Cus gsw were on pave to 3 peat, okc was a finals team, and phx literally just assembled and haven't played a full season together.
I was just about to say this!!! He needs basketball intellectuals on the couch for season 3. I’m so tired of seeing people who can’t string together a reasonable argument for the life of me. They sound just as idiotic as the people on ESPN. Gil is the only person who always seems to put some serious thought into his arguments. I’m legit dying to see people like Amin ElHassan make an appearance on this show. It would catapult this podcast into the stratosphere I swear.
@@LeetraviusMcKay-q6mGil may be inconsistent but it’s not from a place of hate. Rashad is just hating at this point. And his tales are just outlandish because he’s too focused on being that guy to bring chaos instead of actually debating the point.
@@Bude_Jellinghamit really will. You don’t have to agree with Gil to make a point. Rashad has become too lost in the sauce and constantly has to up himself and his wild takes
It baffles me how ppl don’t use stats to back your argument. It doesn’t have to your entire argument but it can help. Example: if you say a man is a great scorer and then say he averaged 30ppg then that stats supports your argument They throw out actual concrete evidence for ‘feelings’ which are subjective and vary based on the individual
So he started off wrong when he said lebron went to the heat 🤦🏽♂️ bro it's nothing compared to KD GOING TO THE TEAM WITH THE BEST RECORD THAT YEAR AND THAT JUST BEAT YOU IN THE PLAYOFFS AFTER YOU WAS UP 3-1 ..He was better off going to a different team and beating them instead of joining the team that just beat you 2 months Early that's the key point
Ain’t Gil the same dude who said they don’t look at stats and accomplishments they look at the game so that makes mj the goat but then uses stats and accomplishments to make a case for lebron
This is the only comment that needs to be made. As a Timberwolves fan, I apologize to the rest of the NBA community for giving this jackass a reason to be on ANY basketball podcast. He should've never been drafted and there's a reason he flamed out of the league. What a fuckin clown.
Lebron joined the Heat. KD joined the Warriors. Rashad you're right. It's the exact same thing. Nothing different whatsoever. Spot on. Congratulations.
Exactly bro and it's so frustrating that people don't want to see it simply cause they on Jordans jock!! And want to call us brobsexuals but they don't notice how much Jordan in they throat, whenever u put shoe sales in the debate shows how brainwashed they are
I saw that as Buddy being grounded and humble, not trying to take the spotlight like in other shows where you see the host or moderators trying to insert their comments. Buddy was like " Hey Gil, this is your show. I will do whatever I can to support you"
What McCants is trying to say is he loves Kobe style and that makes him number one just keep it real bro. Made the game look easy. I don’t think he ever had a 50% season stop the cat he had Hella swag just keep it real.
To answer the original question... "FUCK NO! there's no way in hell KD is in the GOAT Debate nor conversation"! Resume/Accomplishment, skill set, & how you fared against your contemporaries in your own era. Magic dominated the 80's (7 Finals Appearances), MJ dominated the 90's (6 Finals Appearances "Undefeated"), Kobe dominated the 2000's (7 FInals Appearances "5Rings"), LBJ dominated the 2010's (9 Finals Appearances) THATS dominance of an era. WTF has KD done except lose to LBJ, get smacked by Steph 73-9 GSW, win w/those GSW & do jack s*** since by himself!? where TF was the SUSTAINED DOMNINACE & GREATNESS to be in this discussion or debated!!!?
lol why the fuck are you bringing up finals appearances as that is the bench mark for an accomplishment? wtf lol? might as well put in who went to the first round or 2nd round. Only lebron nut huggers bring up finals appearances as if it means shit.
The answer is no. Separate the accomplishments and accolades that make up the difference between MJ and KD, and you have a top 10 player of all time. At some point it can’t just be about how deep your “bag” is
Jennings had the best response I've ever heard "imma wait until LeBron and Steph retire" everybody so quick to count them out but they still putting great numbers up. And the heat were not a super team idc what anybody say. That team wins 0 rings without LeBron. A super team means you can take out any one person and still win. You take out wade or Bosh maybe they have a chance. You take out Bron not even making the finals.
The heat wasn’t a super team you said 😂😂😂 4 HOF in the prime 😂 what’s the difference between warriors and heat? Coz bron better than kd wade arguably better than klay and bosh definitely better than green and ray Allen just as good of a shooter as Steph so what are you talking about 😂 and that heat team had a better bench charmers was no scrub
Bron lovers swear he never had a super team. Look up bosh and wades numbers before bron. Top 3 in their respective positions 😭😭. Ofc they dropped bc you have a ball dominant player on your team now. Which they were that guy before teaming up. When they beat the thunder. It was not even close in terms of teams. Shouldn’t have lost to the Mavs but bron choked. Beat the spurs. No trash team beats that spurs team
Nah I didn’t like his response honestly. He can say who his goat is and say but honestly there’s 2 guys possibly 3 that may change my mind when they are done.
His response was dumb and a nonanswer. He can have a GOAT of the retired guys without including Bron or Steph. What if Jokic wins 5 straight right now, is he not gonna have an opinion then either? Lol
When people say skills, they mean dribbling, shooting on all three levels; such as layups, midrange, and 3’s. It’s really who has the prettiest game. I think they should refer to that as a “skillful scorer” instead of just “skills.” That's the best way to end the confusion because every part of basketball is a skill.
and really, they mostly mean midrange jumpers. lebron's dribbling is better than anyone his size and comparable to the best shooting guards ever. he's had seasons where he's shot over 70% on layups, which is just absurd. he's got deeper shooting range than mj or kobe and is more consistent than either. it's literally just the midrange, which is fine, but it'd be nice if ppl were just honest about that
@@Cheezkrispies131 i mean jordan barely shot 3’s and was a slasher and kobe was really a jumpshooter more than anything. So while you are correct the percentage difference is like 1 percent. But i dont know if i would make a big deal out of that. Kobe compared to like steph makes more sense. Jordan id say its more fair.
If stats/numbers don't matter then why even keep score?! Lets just lace em up and play till fatigue sets in and determine the winner based off how they looked 🤷
Bruh that is the dumbest argument I have heard in 2024. I'm dead serious. Stats are the proof of you getting it done. According to his logic, Shaq aint a good player. He mainly used his size and strength to bully guys in a way no other player could do so you can't coach anything he did and he rarely shot from 10 ft away from the basket. Guy got no skills at all right? Then how got 2 scoring titles. Cuz his way works, thats how. Its a game not a beauty pageant
imagine Kobe's mentality in Shaq's body. Shaq was dominant, but Kobe would have never turned it down at all. Shaq was like Wilt, imo. Incredibly dominant but also too nice a guy at times.
Man wearin the crown got the craziest takes ive every heard. “LEBRON AINT A BAD MFER” like what? Im a boston fan and i hate lebron, but that man is THE GOAT.
I love KD, him and Bron are my favourites players, but if he wants to be in the goat convo, we need to include Curry there too and Curry is one step above him for everything he has accomplished, no just rings, but like everyone always says he’s changed the game.
This has nothing to do with the segment, but Embiid is absolutely cooking Wembanyama right now. Dude has 59 at this moment with a whole 4th to go lol. the GOAT will be decided by the last human in existence...if they even care.
Why Jennings giving such a pussified passive aggressive answer. Watch him closely that first 2:30 seconds he looks scared to answer. It’s simple: Jordan, LeBron, Kareem, Magic, Shaq/Kobe, Duncan, Bird, Hakeem, Wade.

Well if you take Gils question of "making what look easy?". The answer would be scoring, rebounding, playmaking, defense etc. which all those things would lead to stats, the thing that somehow doesn't matter. Do they tell the whole story? No. However to say they don't matter is to blatantly disregard facts. Then him basically implying Kobe didn't keep an eye on his place in history as far as numbers go is just BS.

I like how Gil has a comeback for every point
Never thought I’d see Gilbert with such an accurate take but when he said you’ll always contradict yourself, that was the best part of the video
And that is exactly it in a nutshell. Kareem knows this. He said you can not define one GOAT, because everyone played different eras, teammates, competition, different coaches, different rules, etc.
If Kareem, Magic, Bird, Mike, Kobe, etc played in a culture that rewarded stat chasing and accepted “well, he won rings by teaming up with every new shiny All-NBA player”, then they’d have numbers too.
The shit boils down to what narrative each person values. You like longevity and numbers you can point to, that’s Bron. You like the ability to do it on your own, that’s Kobe. You like just winning, that’s Mike. You like dominance, that’s Shaq. Etc.
GOAT debates just can not be won.
Gil, here's an idea. Do it like a test and pass out those same numbers without any names on the paper, past it out and have them to circle either player A, B, C, D, then see how many of the crew have the same player circle
I think you are leaving out a lot of things... Theres a lot that contribute that dont appear in the box score. Wemby s a good example of this (not that he is somewhat close to the goat debate) but thanks to Wemby, there are a lot of shots not being taken, lots of bad shots being taken. Curry is another example, thanks to his gravity, how many points his teammates scored ? Thats not showed but are very important
@jwg0814 This topic was on who they considered the GOAT. Gil read off 4 or 5 different players' stats without saying who the players were. All I'm suggesting is use that same metric and give each one a paper on it. Let them circle the one player who they think is the GOAT. So if McCants says player A (Kobe) is the GOAT, but if he circles another player, then we know McCants is not believing in his own words.
@jeffreylanier222 any basketball minded player knows who they are without saying the name KD was the 1st person he name kobe was the player with 12 1st team defensive team lebron was the one with 4 finals mvps and Jordan was the 1 with a dpoy
Unfortunately even some casuals can guess correctly who’s who. So that wouldn’t work but I love the idea
@WayneWilcots you will be surprised who doesn't. The point will be see if those who say who their goat is, you should be able to match that person name with his stats.
McCant’s argument for Kevin Durant was horrible.
Wasn't that horrible, if you won't even say the argument.
exactly! being the goat is not about scoring the most career points. nobody was calling Kareem the goat when he had that title. but i give Lebron his credit for doing that and being healthy his whole career but Durant sat out for damn near 2 seasons. so impossible for him to reach that. Durant has a higher PPG career average than lebron.. but Jordan and Wilt tied for highest career ppg. like it’s so many factors. You have to look at everything. Jordan has the most accolades in NBA history so he’s the goat imo, and the most exciting to watch.
@@penkima4923 he's essentially saying that Kevin Durant is a better player because of "move-set" but then he breaks down that moves set into just scoring.
It's more about basketball than just putting the ball through the hoop
@@corpyhogan4433i mean would you break down “move set” into defense and rebounds? No. His argument is more so in terms of skills and ability there's not really a goat player who can match him.

With the horrible tales ? Facts
The old Skip fasure
Rashad McCant referring to accolades as statistics is nasty.
Wtf is mccants talking about? Your Kobe GOAT argument can’t be “He’s a bad mf, we never seen anybody do what he did.” We actual did see it from the guy he literally copy and pasted his game from in MJ. There isn’t a single replicated thing in this world that is better than the original. Not a cereal, chip, painting, diamond, game
Facts
'Dr. J', Julius Erving was the first player with a shoe deal with Converse, the same year that he became the NBA's highest-paid player, his first year with the New Jersey Nets. He was the most exciting, electrifying, and my favorite player. I saw Dr. J do the things Jordan and others since do athletically...but in the 1970's. He dunked from the free throw line in the 1st NBA dunk contest, which he won against some serious dunkers. He did that routinely in games as a Virginia Squire. He was black excellence on the court and in public.
The Kyrie analogy killed McCants whole argument.
Not really because you can make the argument that he’s a better player than Curry
@@versatillion15you really can’t tho.

I'm a Kobe fan but Mccants argument that Bron is not in the convo is crazy
MJ Kobe and Bron in the argument, Steph is in there with the old Goat convo guys with Bird Magic KAJ Shaq Tim, Wilt and Bill
LeBron’s in the conversation but he’s always second
Kobe proved to nba he can win back to back championship with a center that avg 17ppg has lebron ever won a championship without a 20 and 10 player or even a player than avg less than 23 ppg as his second the answer is no, that's the reason he went dwade, a reason he went kyrie and reason he had ad traded. Everyone thought that kobe couldnt win without shaq and he went on to win with no allstar no top 75 player.

Been saying this…
Your career is your RESUME, at work you don’t put your downfalls in there.
And for some reason we seem to ignore all the negatives of retired players in the debate.
It’s an imbalanced comparison, so you need to weigh up all positives.
The players that stack up at the top 2, THEN we can start weighing negatives to see the GOAT

Didn't lead a team didn't win another chip he's strictly box office...Kobe was it all. He was skillful, determined, a killer and got it done with no other top 75 players after Shaq and lead his team to 3 appearances.

@@chocboiwonda6810 not really sure what you're saying but the reason why the Kyrie point killed it is because one would easily consider Kyrie more skilled than Magic and even Curry but skills, and even how it looks, is not all that matters. Not sure why you're missing that. And if you're comparing Bron & Kobe, the body of work is there to do so. Bron was never second best on his team at any time in his career, the same cannot be said for Kob. Bron's greatest teammate was Wade versus Kob's greatest teammate, SHAQ! Lol smh. I also take into account leadership in which Kobe didn't have to do for the majority of his championships if it all (Fisher was captain). Whereas Bron had the highest pressure to perform of all-time, especially in the social media era, and he still met the expectations. Understand?
@@spiritualgangstallcyes but Kobe accomplished more with less. His two rings w/o Shaq are far more impressive than Bron’s rings except for his Cleveland ring

When people say skills, they mean dribbling, shooting on all three levels; such as layups, midrange, and 3’s. It’s really who has the prettiest game. I think they should refer to that as a “skillful scorer” instead of just “skills.” That's the best way to end the confusion because every part of basketball is a skill.
and really, they mostly mean midrange jumpers. lebron's dribbling is better than anyone his size and comparable to the best shooting guards ever. he's had seasons where he's shot over 70% on layups, which is just absurd. he's got deeper shooting range than mj or kobe and is more consistent than either. it's literally just the midrange, which is fine, but it'd be nice if ppl were just honest about that

Bruh that is the dumbest argument I have heard in 2024. I'm dead serious. Stats are the proof of you getting it done. According to his logic, Shaq aint a good player.

What championship has LeBron Won without a Big 3 or him blowing up a whole team chasing a ghost he’ll never catch

You cant compare Kd joining A 73 WIN TEAM to ANY FREE AGENT SIGNING EVER.
McCants arguments make my head hurt
KD not even better than curry how the hell he in the GOAT debate 😂
Poor McCants. He can't help but say stupid stuff. Every time he does I kinda miss Miko 🤣
You're not saying what stupid stuff McCants said, so he probably didn't say any.
He the dumbest on earth so kobe was mj 2.0 lol so how he better then the real deal😂
@@penkima4923he said "Kobe wasn't worried about scoring 40,000 points" this is a day after the anniversary of Kobes 81 point game😂😂 that dude embarrasses himself so much
😂😂😂😂
@@penkima4923 I mean bc I thought it was fairly obvious my boy 😂. But since it's not let's start w/ the comment 'stats don't matter" in a game all about production. Then bc he said "stats don't matter" the only thing he has to say about being able to determine a players greatness is they "make it look easy". Well if you take Gils question of "making what look easy?". The answer would be scoring, rebounding, playmaking, defense etc. which all those things would lead to stats, the thing that somehow doesn't matter. Do they tell the whole story? No. However to say they don't matter is to blatantly disregard facts. Then him basically implying Kobe didn't keep an eye on his place in history as far as numbers go is just BS.
This shit got heated so quick I jus feel the energy😮
Chuck Taylor was the first signature basketball shoe
That’s what I thought :)
Dr. J also had a signature shoe.
💯
The GOAT debate will always be tiresome because it’s all subjective and there’s no true merit. I personally think we all should just appreciate the greatness of all the goat players from either era.
Hakeem and Duncan is probably the closest all time great player debate to be had
Eehhhhhh
Duncan is a GOAT period
As someone who grew up in San Antonio during Duncan's career, Duncan is absolutely A goat. He is not in the conversation for THE goat@@garyleroy91
Duncan was close to being 6-0
Did he just compare bron going to the heat to KD going to the 73-9 warriors making arguably the greatest team ever
I literally hurt my brain trying too figure out wth mccants be talking about
Mccants when he realized he messed up with the "most doesn't mean the best.., no it's not..." Lol his face said it all "Fxxxxxxxk..." 17:17
Man I always forget MJ only played for 6 years
Lol you must be young mj played for 15 years he lost 7 years straight before he won his first ring
@@DeonPrice-z7j you missed the boat man.
The years Jordan didnt win were absurdly good tho, arguably better than when he won
@user-pn2zi3fg7f sarcasm is lost on you
This is a well crafted troll. Respect due lol
I’m tired of the them comparing KD going to a 72 win Warriors team to LeBron going to a not even in the playoffs Heat team there is no comparison it’s not the same period
