The Case for 2009 LeBron As the GOAT Peak

[KLove14]

Again, you need to educate yourself a little bit, before making absurd claims like this.



There's no way you can have a top-5 of all-time list, and leave him off. It'd be absurd.

You'd have to leave LeBron off too. LeBron only has two titles, just like Wilt, should that be used against him?

He was every bit, if not more dominant than LeBron in his time. Both played in different eras and are different players obviously.

But Wilt should be penalized why exactly?

I don't know what your problem is. I happen to value winning more, so i give Jordan and Kareem the edge. Wilt was great, Russell was great no question about that. Based on their resumes if given the chance to pick one player as a first draft overall that would be Jordan or KAJ (hypothetically). Can't understand what got you upset in this silly thread. Chill...

I got no problem at all. You're allowed to have opinions.

You said Wilt was no where near Kareem. And I pointed out, well, that's absurd, and pretty disrespectful to a great player in Wilt.

A 35 year old Wilt went toe-to-toe against an elite Kareem in his prime.

I got no problem with you choosing between Jordan or Kareem. Those are great choices.

I wasn't upset, I thought it should be pointed out that Wilt doesn't deserve to be disrespected, as if he's not worthy of being in that class.

I wanted to upload this, for those who never saw Jordan play. Obviously, majority of the clips you see of him usually involved him dunking, or the dreadful shot over Ehlo.

No dunking in this clip, this video puts into perspective what a dominant scorer he was. His athleticism, quickness, was just another tool he had at his disposal.

He would have been a dominant scorer regardless of his athleticism.

His offensive game as a scorer just much more fluid and versatile than LB's. LeBron is definitely an outstanding scorer, but Jordan was in another level in that regard.
