Re: Who is the GOAT
Maybe. Probably?
I think valid arguments can/should be made for both guys.
Gilgeous- Alexander is having a heck of a season too.
All that being said, a healthy Embiid would get my vote.

Speaking of good. Is Luka the best player in the NBA today?

Have we fallen into a mesmerized state that makes us accept as inevitable that which is inferior or detrimental, as though having lost the will or the vision to demand that which is good?
Re: Who is the GOAT
Jokic is a slow burn.
It’s not explosive it just happens.
Luka you go, whoa.

Nugs at Lakers tonight
Lebron 9 points away from surpassing 40,000
also think I saw he's only scored 9 or fewer points 9 times in his entire career

Now only 4 points to go.
Do they stop the game again to give bronbron another attention fest?

You seem to be giving him plenty of attention on this messageboard.
Why shouldn't they?

Re: Who is the GOAT
A kid who has a heart condition, shoots 37% FG, 27.5% 3pt, 62.1% FT, and averages 5 points a game, is probably going to get drafted. Because.... The world is a fucked up place and his last name is James.
A kid who didn't have a heart condition, shot 45.7% FG, 38.5% 3pt, 83.8% FT, averaged 18.2 points per game, AND WAS A FIRST TEAM ALL-AMERICAN, didn't get drafted. Because.... The world is a fucked up place and his last name isn't James.

LeBron James scoring recap:
Pts 0 - 10,000 in 368 games
Pts 10,001 - 20,000 in 358 games
Pts 20,001 - 30,000 in 381 games
Pts 30,001 - 40,000 in 368 games
No wonder Jason Whitlock says he's on steroids.

Re: Who is the GOAT
I can all but promise that there are more players in the NBA who take / have taken PEDs (steroids and other drugs) than have tested positive for them.
I wouldn't be at all shocked if LeBron was one of them but.... The guy is a workout fiend and takes great care of himself.

Re: Who is the GOAT
A lightbulb went ON in my head.
This morning I read someone basically say that people are wrong to feel Jordan is better than LeBron.
This was my response.
Define "better", and "better" at what specifically?
Also, there is a difference between the words is and was.
I "think" Jordan was "better" at helping his team win games. That's the most important role of a basketball player to me.
That's not to say I feel LeBron may not be the goat. As I have said too many times, I have no problem with those who feel he is.
P.S. I just thought about this. LeBron could have chosen to play on the Bools with Rose, Noah, Deng, and DWade. Would those 5 collectively (with Lebron) have been better than any 5 collectively (with Jordan) that Jordan played with? That's tough call for me.

Jordan was the best at completely taking over a game himself.
LeBron is/was the best as a complete player.
Jordan played on talent rich teams when he won his titles, teams that, if you removed Jordan, would be competitive in the league at the time.
LeBron spent a lot of his career on teams who, if you removed LeBron, would have loosing records.
This is why I think LeBron was better at helping his team win games.
I also think the league has gotten better from top to bottom since Jordan played and don't believe a lot of the teams back then would be very good today.
But mostly I try to judge a player by their era ( mostly ) so in this case, Jordan is still 1A to LeBron's very close 1B.
