2022-2023 NBA Season Thread

I agree to a point. But I think longevity counts as well. Especially when playing at the level Lebron is.

I guess without at least some longevity you don’t even get in the conversation.

 

[The Q]

Didn't they add Sabonis too? Is he a bad defender?

He was on the team last year

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

I meant smart people

Still, yes…lol

But, I admit to my bias.

The further we get from Jordan’s playing days, the larger he gets.

What Lebron is doing is amazing.

But, as long as I still have my trump card, I’m going to hold onto it for dear life.

I accepted Brady > Montana because what choice did I have?

Jordan?

I still have this.

Right, if we're just comparing peaks someone like 1977 Bill Walton might be in the convo, or Moses Malone, or Hakeem.

And that may become a tiebreaker of sorts.

Kareem retired at 42. Lebron looks like he'll play until at least 40. MJ was 40 when he retired for good.

Maybe who was better as an old man will become part of the convo? lol

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

And you can say this with absolute confidence!!!

Absolutely.

The Bronsexuals like to mention the fact that he’s about to break KAJ points record.

That is an amazing accomplishment.

Especially for a pass first guy.

But, it wasn’t enough to rank the Captain above Jordan.

So, not sure why it would vault Lebron.

KAJ had the longevity.

But, nobody can touch Lebron’s production at this advanced age.

Jordan didn’t even make it to year 14, let alone 20.

So, Eventhough he has more rings, Lebron > KAJ.

But, not MJ.

If LeBron somehow wins 2 more rings?

He got it.

Otherwise?

They will be co-GOAT to me.

Both dominated their respective eras in unprecedented ways. Not really worth nitpicking the differences at this point.

I will definitively push back at the clowns who try to put LeBron outside the top 3. They are flat wrong and there is no defending that opinion anymore.

I honestly don’t see how he’s out of the top 2.

But, top 3 for sure.

He is AMAZING.

I agree on the last point, Lebron is top 3.

 

[Mecca of the “B” Team]

Are the Raptors really going to stand pat?

I expected them to be so much better.

Still time.

I don’t either.

But if someone wants to put KAJ ahead?

There is at least a case to be made for that.

What I’ve said since all the MJ and Lebron talk started, Kareem can’t be left out of any conversation.

I'm at the point where I'm ready to just have 3 co-GOATs. lol

Very compelling arguments can be made for all 3.

You drinking yet?

I’m fine with goat becoming a tier

Goat for every era.

Smoking a bowl. Haven't really drank much since weed became legal.

 

[thunderc]

Goat for every era.

Fine but MJ gets it for the best era then
