Players who could have been the GOAT

[Scoooter]

Shaq had the perfect NBA body when he was a rookie, and he just got fatter and fatter as the years went on. Also freethrows. He had a great career, but it definitely could have been greater.

Bill Walton is another one of those great, "what ifs?". Amazing player. In the brief, sporadic stretches of his career wherein he was able to enjoy relative good health, he was a two-time Champion, an MVP, a Finals MVP, and a Sixth Man of the Year. Not to mention a collegiate legend. One of my favorites.

KOBE: If he atleast spent 2 yrs in NCAA learning to be a good passer & had "better shot selection"

LEBRON: If he got drafted by Lakers or Celtics & not "bottom feeder" like Cavs.

PENNY:If his knees didnt get destroyed.

GRANT HILL:If he did not destroy his ankle.

LEN BIAS:If he did not die & did not get injured.

SHAQ:If he wasnt lazy & actually had good work ethics.

I know I'm just begging for it, but:

Wilt Chamberlain: If he mastered his Free Throws

[t-rex]

Kobe is the GOAT already da fucc wrong wit you nugga?


But anyways players who could have been the GOAT if kobe was never born

Shaq- wow, shaq is truly a once in a generation player, from size to talent to the whole nine, this is a just a player we will only see once in our lifetime. But yea he was lazy and was an asshole

Jordan- ruined his chance at being the GOAT when pippen led the bulls damn near to the finals without him, then helped portland get to the WCF while the wizards were missing the playoffs

Bill Russell- If the NBA ended in 1970, he would be the GOAT for sure

Ah, here comes jlau...

"Nevaeh, you are an IDIOT !

*insert long paragraph*

*insert slang name for you... "Never right" *

Kidd, if he beats Shaq and Duncan in the finals... had a jumpshot coming outta college. And wins that MVP he was robbed of.. then retires last year!

[TaLvsCuaL]

Ben Wallace could have been the GOAT boxer.

[Scholar]

If Shaq could've made at least 70% of his free throws, assuming he plays the same number of games, he'd have had more than 30k points and averaged 25.3 PPG.

[rodman91]

Shaq if he had great work ethic & mindset.

Sabonis had GOAT potential if he was able to play in NBA young & without injuries.

[Myth]

all fan boys ruin the game not just kobe homers

True, but the Kobe ones are the worst IMO.

[Sakkreth]

Sabonis had everything, sadly this includes injuries.

[returnofthemack]

Same, I am not a Laker fan......but I would have loved to see where Shaq would be if had Kobe and Mike's work ethic.

As a Sixer fan, I always wonder where AI would have ranked if he was more dedicated to practice and more willing to accept the team concept.

The what ifs of sports..........

practice?

Brian Scallerbrine if he got time and not just blow out minutes... truth
