What other sport has an alleged "GOAT" that was dominant for 8-9 years?

[TheGoatest]

15 years seems to be the minimum.

[coastalmarker99]

If Wilt had won 8 rings in his first eight seasons then retired afterwards while averaging over 35 PPG and like 25 rebounds.


There wouldn't be an argument nowadays for Goat longevity be damned.


As most people value peak when ranking the Goats in sports.


And Jordan's peak from 1988 to 1993 just destroys Lebron's peak.


As Jordan was just on another level with his two-way dominance.


Averaging over 40 PPG in the finals while shooting over 50% as a SG is just God tier.

[coastalmarker99]

Also in a sport like tennis if a player in his first 5 years achieved the Grand Slam in each of those five years then retired afterwards due to being bored.

That player would be hailed as the undisputed goat despite his poor longevity as his peak would blow everyone else's out of the water.

You bring up a hypothetical and somehow relate that to jordan who was a 1-9 loser his first 7 years... literally the opposite of your hypothetical.

No, Jordan getting carried to rings in the weak 90s isn't the same as a tennis player winning 20 grand slams in a row.

Awesome try though.

[Wally450]

Tom Brady was dominant for 22.

[Shooter]

Shortgevity doesn't cut it

7,631 or bust

[3ba11]

it's called a goat PEAK

scoring champ + top 5 DPOY from 88-98'

No one has ever matched this caliber for 2 years let alone 10

LeBron has the best 5 year peak.

2012-2016
5 Finals
5 MVPs (3x FMVP, 2x MVP)
3 Goat Rings

Eat shit: :lol

Lebron had 1st options play sidekick for him

Jordan won 2 three-peats with true 2nd option at sidekick, so he had to defeat maximum defensive attention (carry scoring load in playoffs and Finals)

Meanwhile, Lebron is sitting their averaging 25 for entire title runs and having sidekicks nearly match him in the Finals

No comparison

Btw, Lebron wasn't all defense in his 30's... AT ALL... so he wasn't even an elite 2-way player.. lol

[Bacchus]

Jordan has two more wins than Lebron in the finals while playing 20 less games.

As For Lebrons defense. A center Hakeem has 28 more career steals than Lebron in 136 less games.

That's cause LeBron didnt peter out mentally and physically after only 7 full seasons and quit the league.



Steals are more about bad passes than it actually picking ones pocket etc..

[WhiteKyrie]

Jordan was the best player in basketball from

87 - 93: 7x years

Retired for last two years of his physical prime before entering his early to mid 30s

96 - 98: 3x years

10 year stretch and if he wasn’t swinging at curve balls it would’ve been 12 years as the best player in professional basketball.

LeBron was best from 2009 - 2018 also a ten year stretch.

If he couldn't play more than 7 full seasons in a row, what makes you think he could do 12 in a row?

And Jordan has the best 8 year peak with 6 rings 6 FMVPs 6 scoring titles, and he didn't even play for 1.5 years in that stretch :kobe:

[Overdrive]

What was MJ's best ring?

Nobody cares. If you put '16 Lebron and his Cavs roster on the Lakers nobody bats an eye. The ring is over exagerrated, because he won in Cleveland.

[Bacchus]

Ali. He was the best boxer from 1964 until 1967. Then was the best boxer from 1971-1976. He was dominant for 9 years

Fewer Finals is worse. 6 is low for most top 5 players. What's better, 6 for 6 or 6 for 7?

OP, I noticed you retired your corporation alt after the failed championship cruise.

Now you mainly use goat tits and shooter

1991. Only lost 2 games (both by 2 pts) and put up 31.1 ppg 8.4 apg with just 2.5 TOV and the advanced stats are better than any other player in their title run as well and he only had one off night in that entire run.

If you left your home atleast once in a while you'd find out that nobody outside the Lebron stan bubble really considers "ring's greatness", some contextualize the 2016 chip, but not in the sense that it make up for several ring's worth or makes his blunders forgotten.


Wrong, fewer Finals is worse.

What's better, 6 for 6 or 6 for 10?

If it was 6 for 10 it could be better.

Who's better Jerry West or Larry Bird?

[Elosha]

Wrong, fewer Finals is worse.

What's better, 6 for 6 or 6 for 10?

Better question: What's worse, 6/10 or 4/10?

No one touches Gretzky in hockey

That’s the Goat of Goats

The real goat is someone who contends for championships everywhere he plays. Over a span of 16 years and counting...2007 to currently.
