Amazing body and talent for the 39YO, he still plays at very high level with strength and speed.

What did LeBron realistically do in the last NBA season to change the GOAT rankings
I get that longevity is all the rage and it’s crazy what he’s doing at his age, but one season where you make the All-NBA third team and lose in the first round lifting you to GOAT status doesn’t seem right

Jordans mystique and aura will never be matched by Lebron, so I think he will probably always be #1 to like 60% of people to Lebrons 40%, but it’s really just a matter of preference. Both are incredible and stand a level above the rest imo.

damn steph still not even in the top 10 somehow

They also have KD over Steph, so I guess it’s official.

Put Duncan at 8, Kobe 9, then Shaq

KD over Steph Curry is certainly a choice. Not a good choice, but still a choice.

*And I took that personally* — MJ, somewhere

Shit list tbh

Beyond the obvious MJ Lebron debtate, this list is garbage. Just reading some of the ways they ranked players is awful.
I do appreciate them adding a link to stats that disprove their own justifications though. They just change for each player. A real cherry on top though lol.

Karl Malone at 15 is crazy. Him above Moses is even crazier.

Jokic at 29th? lol. Both he and Giannis should be top 20.

Nah this ain’t it.

How is Jokic not higher

NBA fans and their daily obsession with lists never ceases to amuse me.

Conspiracy Theory: I feel like this list is almost deliberately bad so people can question the Lebron placement.
Dame being over Ray Allen is just…wild to me.

CP3 at 28 over Jokic, Iverson, Kawhi, Nash, Stockton, Harden, Ewing is funny

Giannis 7 spots above Jokic is asinine. Hakeem outside top 10 is a disgrace

Once Curry gets his his 5th ring and LeBron retires its over. They’re chasing eachother.

A lot of people are just butt hurt about this lol.
Lebron didn’t make some huge jump based off this year lol. If you read the article lebron was already very very close and this year did just enough to get a few voters to flip their votes.
An elite season at 39 where he became the all time leading scorer and won mvp of the Olympics is not nothing lol. You don’t have to agree, but that’s completely fair.

Generate CLICKS YES YEAH OKAY.

Damn, that NBA cup and NBA cup MVP really pushed him ahead of MJ.

I thought Jokic was the GOAT?

Will NBA fans/media ever drop the super old generations in these all time lists?
It’s not disrespect as new generations always have the past to learn from and improve but if you copy and paste those players from back then into now they wouldn’t be on these lists.
