Kobestans should have a little self awareness and refrain from making threads like this. Do a search in here for "Ehlo" and all kinds of :snoop: comes up from them.

Most dudes on this board hate LeBron. Even the ones who are Stan's most don't put Bron above Jordan. You just needed a reason to make your millionth Bron thread.

THIS DUMBASS ACTIN BRAND NEW LIKE THERE AINT A GOOD AMOUNT OF IDIOTS HERE WHO THINK BRON IS THE GOAT SMFH

He would be nowhere near physical enough. He benefited from defending the same plumbers Jordan did

Imagine a nikka 165 soak and wet containing a man 100 pounds bigger than him that's faster stronger and more skilled

Coaching, scouting, training, straget y and athletic ability is all much better since the 90s, but somehow the players are not better??? Stop it. Bron is the goat by default. Best player in the best era

The hate for Lebron has overridden even his Kobe standom. Back when stans were hopelessly trying to push Kobe as some sort of rival to MJ 10 years ago, these were the exact arguments they were making.

Now to see Kobe stans do a 180 and focus entirely on trying to minimize Lebron (who now plays for "their team" ironically enough), thereby taking up for Jordan and his era, is hilarious.

why is this the best era? just because it's the most recent?

will the next era be the goat era and the best player of that generation the goat by default?

This the best era because it has by far the largest pool of talent to select from. Basketball has become more and more popular and been accessible by a greater and greater portion of the population. Opportunity for Black players and opportunity for international players both increased by leaps and bounds and both baseball and boxing waned as competitors for athletic talent.

When I want to compare eras, I look at three things:

1) How many people wanted to focus on that sport as the #1 sport they wanted to play?
2) From what age were they effectively training for that sport?
3) How well-developed were the techniques to improve in the sport and how seriously were players employing them?

If there are more people in the sport, playing from a younger age, with more developed techniques, then it will be a better era.


But you can have a better era and still not have a better GOAT. For example, the era when Tiger Woods was dominating from 1997-2009 wasn't as great an era for golf as the last decade has been. I think golf has really opened up in popularity and in the number of youth who could train from an early age, so the competition now is better than the competition during Tiger's peak. But no one has stood out like Tiger did, there is no one great golfer who is head-and-shoulders above the rest like Tiger was. So even though the current era is a better era for talent, Tiger is still the GOAT.

The same way that the 2000s were a much better era for overall talent than the 1990s, but MJ as an individual was still so far above his competition in the 1990s that he was also better than anyone in the 2000s too.
