Dwyane Wade on the GOAT conversation
“Michael Jordan separated himself. LeBron James separated himself. I’m not in the [greatest of all time] conversation with those guys. I grew up in Chicago. Michael Jordan was the lifeline for me and my brothers when we didn’t even have food to eat.”
“Michael Jordan is the first iconic figure in this game, the one who took this game to heights it had never been to,” he further explained. “I feel like we all have generational GOATs. In my generation, that is my GOAT. It’s going to be Kobe [Bryant] and LeBron as the new generation’s GOATs, and that’s okay. It’s okay not to have one GOAT. Everyone doesn’t have to be on the same page.”

A player could come along and be better than MJ, maybe even enjoy the same dominance relative to peers, but it's unlikely he'll have the impact on the game that MJ had. Though I disagree that MJ is the first iconic figure of the game. He certainly is the most iconic figure.

MJ changed a big man's game into what we see today - a perimeter player's game - the biggest leap in aesthetic appeal came with MJ, and now Curry I suppose

Agreed. And contrary to common belief, we wanna see it in our lifetime. But impact and popularity wise, its gonna be tough

There's a lot of wisdom in what Wade has said here, although I think he's failing to give Lebron the credit he deserves as the actual and undisputed GOAT.

Re: Dwyane Wade on the GOAT conversation
Everyone is biased trying to portray themselves and their opinion as objective. It’s not coincidental Dr. J’s top ten all time list looks the way it does, neither is it particularly surprising boomers view Jordan as the GOAT.
They’re actually rating their personal experiences having been first exposed and enjoyed basketball above that of others, whereas being actually objective today’s players have far more skill, advanced training and nutrition, and athletic ability.

All the goats win most of the rings during their prime, like MJ, Curry, Kobe, Duncan, etc - fake goats like Lebron LOSE most of the rings and cede dynasty status to others like Duncan, Kobe, Curry, or KD - people forget that Kobe won on Lebron's watch too when Lebron had the league favorite in 09' and then added Shaq/Jamison to a 66-win 1 seed in 10'.

LeBron has more rings than Curry and more FMVP’s than Kobe & Duncan. Nobody has more rings than LeBron since he entered the league.

Re: Dwyane Wade on the GOAT conversation
And for the record, baseball people absolutely acknowledge Barry Bonds as the greatest hitter (if not player in the general) of the modern era.
