Who is the GOAT?

ReggieBush22 · 02-13-2023, 08:03 PM

I thought i would make this poll in response to that other thread to make it more official.

Shouldn't Kobe be in the poll?

TheFrenzy · 02-13-2023, 08:08 PM

Dirk.

Kobe is widely regarded around the top 10ish, give or take. I only had 10 choices so you can vote "Other (specify)" if you feel he is.

He’s definitely GOAT athlete to get away with rape.

Kingofkings1281 · 02-13-2023, 08:29 PM

He’s a crap human being, but he’s also the best to ever do it. It’s Jordan.

Because he’s a candidate for GOAT.

Just do a quick Google search or browse Reddit a little bit. Or better yet, go ahead and read “When Nothing Else Matters”. Jordan was lucky that social media wasn’t around when he was at his peak.

It’s not a well hidden secret that Jordan is a prick. If you choose not to believe it, good for you?

Ummm he deserves to be.

5 titles. 3 Finals MVPs

Perennial winner.

Should have teamed up with Kobe and won 10 though.

Same case as everyone else, none. MJ's achievement is head and shoulders above everyone else. I think Kobe should in the list, if you are going to include all those other players, but ultimately, it's MJ and it's not close.

Fair enough

Perhaps psychotic tendencies are what drive maniacs to those heights. I don’t know.

I definitely don’t think he’s a well balanced individual.

GOATcards · 02-13-2023, 10:41 PM

anyone have promising uh leads on how to create an MVP-style ballot online with points system?

BGT Masters · 02-13-2023, 10:52 PM

No Kobe is a shame. In a must win game I'd be tempted to take Kobe over Lebron because I think he is a better defender.

nbahobbyaddict · 02-13-2023, 11:29 PM

That’s a weird list to exclude Kobe from.

He’s ranked much higher by players.

oldgoldy97 · 02-13-2023, 11:34 PM

Is it one goat or is this a flock of goat?

I get it. Players kind of ask, "would i want that guy on my side" type thinking and given Kobe's killer mentality, a lot of players do rank him higher. But objectively, Kobe ranks 10ish, give or take a few spots. Now, peak scoring for a game, you can make a case for him but a GOAT list requires one to look at the total picture, not just one game or a stretch.

Yup, to be the greatest outlier in anything, you have to be a little off and obssessed to a fault. MJ definitely was that. We all saw the Last Dance doc. Think of all the times he took something personal. LOL.
