SCENARIO: A rookie NBA player debuts next year

[lilteapot]

throughout his career he wins 6 MVP's, 7 Finals MVP's, 7/7 in the finals, defensive player of the year and a 10 time scoring champion

Does he take over as GOAT?

[CelticBaller]

is this a joke?

[beastee]

Given the strength of the league currently and IF he stays on the same team that drafted him....Top 2 for sure, with a definite case for #1. Good thing no one that was drafted this year fits that bill....

[Demitri98]

Depends on how appealing his game is and if he consistently leads underdog squads to greatness.

[JonatanRey]

No, since another player has accomplished that before him. And with GREATNESS.

Is he the best? no context

6 time MVP and 7 time finals mvp. use your judgment.

[ralph_i_el]

6 time MVP and 7 time finals mvp. use your judgment.

well lets say for example, ebola kills off half the NBA and the level of competition is much lower for the era in which he achieves those accolades?

[Sakkreth]

Why losing in finals is better than not making the finals ? Ish...

Is it really?

[wally_world]

Undoubtedly. Provided he comes up big for his team during those championship runs of course.

[Milbuck]

what if the player wins Back 2 back NCAA Titles......then during the summer before entering the NBA wins the Gold Medal in the Olympics...

Then Joins the NBA and wins 11 NBA Championships in 13 seasons, also during 2 of those Championship runs the said player was also the Coach!!!

Said Player also wins 5 MVP's and has the FMVP named after him, also goes down as the greatest Defensive player ever...


Does he take over as GOAT.....or do offensive skills matter more?

[Marchesk]

What is his PER, and is this a rookie time traveled Wilt we're hypothesizing about?

[kells333]

Does he flop?

Yes he flops on defense. And gets to the line like some sort of prime kd/dwhistle/harden hybrid

[Bobcats2013]

He's already here and ready to make his debut.
