It is an absolutely terrible list and example #237 of why former players aren’t better qualified to analyze this stuff than we are.
Of course you would call it a terrible list

There was no load mgmt BS back then

Players played hurt

Played to win back then compared to todays game not to get hurt

And that is probably your only criteria

No legitimate argument for Bill Russell and Oscar Robertson to both be top 3 all time.

So many better options even you you aren’t picking current players.

But LeBron absolutely has to be top 3.

Lebron should be #1 , it’s his own fault that he is not

Players from the past played a tougher game , more demanding, more physical

The game today, How do you judge them?

A lot of people do have him #1

There are 3 players who have legitimate claim for GOAT.

Jordan
LeBron
Kareem

Their resumes are simply head and shoulders above everyone else in terms of MVPs, championships and they were each the best player in the league for about a decade. Nobody else can claim that.

Bill Russell was the greatest winner, but his team was loaded with HOF teammates and he wasn’t even the best center in the league during his own era.

Oscar Robertson simply does not have the resume. Not even close.

Who said I’m not a Heat fan? I’m allowed to have a rooting interest after the Heat are eliminated in the play in round or first round of the playoffs. Didn’t know that broke any rules to root for another team to bring home a title when your favorite team is out the picture

Good to know though

It doesn't just break A rule...it breaks THE rule. Fancard revoked...

Says the guy who claims the Suns as his 2nd favorite team (me). lol

All he says was he was rooting for a team because they were being wrongly disrespected right? I see nothing wrong with that in any way.

And the Lakers lose by three to a jackshit team like the Hornets just like they did to Utah before the AS break. There is no logical reason the Lakers should be losing to dogshit teams like the Hornets and the Jazz. Now Doncic is 1-2 since the trade. This is laughable.
