For example, the narrative about Wilt has changed completely since his death.

As everybody I can remember was debating Wilt vs Jordan for goat in the 1990s.


In fact in 1999, ESPN's "panel of experts" came out with their 100 greatest athletes of the 20th Century.

Interesting, though in the NBA department, that Wilt came in second behind MJ (no surprise, since MJ had just come off a title run and retired.) With Magic 3rd, Russell 4th, and Kareem 5th.




There is a reason why Jordan and Wilt argued only with each other for hours as to who is the goat at the NBA's 50 all-time event.

I won't be surprised that if Curry ends his career with more rings than Lebron that dumb people will try to argue him being better than Lebron.

What do you mean the narrative about Wilt has changed since the 90s?

Tune out the utterly insane MJ fanboys/sheep. Imagine Wilt vs MJ 1 vs 1.

MJ got obliterated by a midget investment banker ffs.

the ranking is only going to go up. he'll have a legit case for GOAT whether you like it or not. same as wilt - but with more hard evidence of GOAT-status.



the only reason lebron had so many haters is because he played for cleveland and miami meaning all the major cities hated him. boston chicago los angeles NY after spurning them after the decision etc etc.


you had kobe fans jordan fans celtics fans pretty much everyone hating. which is just fine. :oldlol:


all players and legends respect him - case in point grant hill from just yesterday :oldlol:

Didn't the NBA vote Russell as the GOAT in 1980? Over Wilt?

The voting, in general, was strange as **** as both of Wilt's title-winning teams were voted as the two Goat teams.

Yet the MVP and Leader of those teams wasn't voted as the best player ever.

Despite the fact that in the 10 seasons that Wilt and Russell were overlapped in the NBA

Wilt had a 7 to 2 Margin in being selected as first-team all NBA over Russell.

Plus had the Media voted for the MVP award.

It would have been 5 MVPs for Wilt to Russell's four in those ten years

As Wilt would have won the award in 1964.


See this for evidence.

Not to mention that so many Michael Jordan stans back in the day were/are literally casuals who thought Jordan won it all by himself and expected LeBron to do so too. We could dive deep into MJ needing Phil etc but ultimately you can't take any MJ stan seriously when it comes to the game of basketball.

They were never the same after the decision. The meaningless interview where LeBron thought "**** it I'll take the time out of my busy day to get that tv money and donate it to a good cause".

They never understood. Because they are selfish people.

Once he retires the Media will jump on a different golden boy

The general consensus has already comfortable ranked Lebron from 10-15.

Lebron already cemented his great career

Well I think the fact that LBJ played Curry in 4 straight Finals (2015-2018) and looked significantly better in EVERY series, plus the fact that LeBron holds every playoff record above not only Curry but the entire history of the league will safely place him top 1 and Curry top 10 at the moment.

Unless someone can sniff 7,631 then STFU

History won't be kind to Lebron. After he retires and the media hype moves on, he'll be put where he belongs as a fringe top tenner.
