I don't even know why this is a thread. Wade has always said that he favors Jordan (wade is from chicago) but Lebron has a case as the overall goat
Dwyane Wade Has His Say On The LeBron-Jordan Debate

the universal consensus is that MJ is the GOAT; lebron is top 3 all time with Kareem being the other name
That's not the universal consensus, there's plenty of people who will argue Magic/Bron/Kobe/Wilt/Larry as #3. Only consensus is top 2

..you won't even find Kobe in the top 8 of most these lists
Like who
? Only one you can make a case for outside of MJ is KAT, and that's just because he's the triple OG.Jordan is almost universally acknowledged as the GOAT because he was the first at just about everything that is popular today, while playing in 2 eras that maximized his offensive potential and defensive potential. Kobe would have an extremely similar career if you dropped him in, in place of Jordan, I feel (assuming that his skillset, and playstyle stays the same, of course.)
Edit: Jordan is also cool as fukk to watch. To this day, he's the only reason why I wear gold chains. I just wanted to be like Mike

So Bill not the clear cut 2?
Not based on individual success. That's why you gotta combine team success + individual greatness (thy didn't have the finals mvp award when bill played but you can compare the other categories)
Bill Russell is the GOAT
Roland Coltrane
Superstar
so how does Bron get to leapfrog Magic somehow in these debates?kareem and mj are the only 2 players with more team + individual success

I thought this level of obsession was only a thing on the Coli.
This is almost as creepy as the weirdos harrassing him for not instantly responding on social media to Bean's death.
