There is clear tiers to this

1: MJ Kareem
2: Magic, Lebron, Russell, Wilt
3: Duncan, Bird, Shaq
4: Kobe + (outside top 10 guys)

Lebron has a chance to improve his range IF he wins another title.
And thank you for having Shaq in the right range. :applause:

He gets slightly overrated by the MDE crowd. He missed more games than he should of and he was lazy. Not that this is a massive distinction between where he should be....

Only a couple spots on the GOAT list variability. Most people will agree he goes no higher than 5th and no lower than 10th.

Had he been a little more motivated, he would have extended his prime more and he wouldn't had dropped off as quickly

I think Lebron will finish with a range of 3-5

While Curry might push Kobe out a little bit of his current 8-12 range

It's absolutely not unrealistic to have someone other than Jordan or Kareem as the GOAT.
Ranges have to be wider, since criteria may differ a lot.
More realistic to me:

Wilt: 1-4
Jordan: 1-4
Kareem: 1-5
Russell: 1-5
Magic: 1-8
Shaq: 3-10
Bird: 1-10
LeBron: 3-teens
Duncan: 3-teens
Kobe: 5-late teens

Jordan doesn't have a variability besides 1, there's no legit ranking with him other than one.
