Joel Embiid Believes He Could Have Been the GOAT

That was never happening with good knees. Took too long to be an elite scorer.
Well think about it... He developed into an elite scorer around 2016. So you have from then until now (given in this hypothetical that he’s a historically healthy player)
That’s nearly a decade of being a phenom. Plus several years before his offense developed he was a defensive phenom. Bro coulda at least had a shot at top 10
He's got this mix of autistic Olajuwon / Greg Oden if he didn't have to retire
"Nearly" a decade isn't that long for the tier being discussed. 5 years beginning a career as a 3&D guy is too long and it would be a big assumption to give him 2-3 extra rings as there's too many other factors that go into a championship than just 1 superstar being healthy.

Giannis has a case to be the GOAT.
If you look at his and Lebrons career up until age 28 they were similar.

He did, but some of those playoff flameouts he has to take on and own. Giannis won FMVP, MVPs and a DPOY but has stagnated (even though he probably should have another MVP in there). LeBron was getting those and still ascending. Giannis stagnating though is still a 30 and 11 a night guy though, it's just the lack of playoff success besides the title run really hurts him.
He’s on a CP3 trajectory.
Great player. Consistently hurt or underperforming when the playoffs come.
