Like Kareem didn't play with Oscar Robertson, Magic Johnson and James Worthy. :heh:

He didn't play them all time same time.
The disrespect that Russell gets, blatant and subtle, conscious and unconscious, is mind-blowing.

Are u from Boston or something?

Bill ppg and fg% is kinda :scust: for a top 5 player.


How many other sports got a top 5 player that werent even top 100 in points/ strikeouts/ home runs/ whatever

How old are you? Doubt you're old enough to have seen a prime
Kareem.

Kareem was a rookie in 1969. nikkaz who were alive when he was a rookie are at least 47 years old now. But 38,000+ points, 6x MVP, and six championships is hard to be deniable

So I guess nikkas forgot what "IMO" actually means right :stopitslime:.


Get that Bill Russell shyt the fukk outta here, shyt fails on so many levels in comparison. That was what, a 13 team league back then :stopitslime:, Russell did ridiculous shyt but skill for skill he is not even a top 10 player all time. I don't want to hear that bullshyt. I respect the man and his history, but he is not what this thread is looking for.

Kareem......... Yeah, he would most likely be tied for 2nd with Magic "IMO". SINCE fukkIN WHEN WAS KAREEM KNOWN AS A DEFENSIVE MONSTER :martin:, nikkaS ARE TRYING TO REWRITE HISTORY ON SOME BULLshyt. fukk OUTTA HERE. Mike was a better scorer and a better defensive player than Kareem, the fukk is wrong wit u nikkas. Wilt was also better on both ends than Kareem, but Wilt was not winning at the rate Kareem was, so that puts KAJ above Wilt in most debates.

Im cool with those who choose to put Gretsky up there, his numbers and accomplishments speaks for itself..................... But I'm a nikka from Detroit breh. fukk HOCKEY.

Babe Ruth is not in the convo AT ALL. Sorry to u 80 year old white folks in this thread.

Serena is most def one of the most dominant ever, along with Tiger Woods. Tigers MAJOR fall off can't be overlooked in this convo. Serene has yet to show any type of slowing down, so she remains an option.

Btw, nikkas really niid to fall back with that "dikkrider" shyt. If u ain't gone say that type of shyt in a barber shop in the ghetto of your closest inner city then don't talk that bullshyt to me online. nikkas would get hurt on some real shyt. I show all u nikkas respect in debates except for @Blackthoughts, fukk THAT nikka WITH A FREE EGG ROLL. But even then @WongThoughts knows we all just fukk wit him. Keep that fukk shyt away from me.

Thanks for the contributions to the thread :salute:

Kareem was the all time leader in blocks until Hakeem switch from playing soccer and you're questioning rather Kareem was a great defender or not.


MJ actually was criticized for being a sub par defender in his first 2 seasons.

Breh, its true, though. One can make a case for Russell, Magic, and others for the GOAT spot and there will always be push back on those arguements, no matter how legit they may be.

Kareem is the one guy someone can make a case for the GOAT player and folks will fall back.

Kareem benefited from playing with different superstars on different teams. :ld:

I don't even blame OP for this thread due to the Jordan branding being as strong as it is, but it's hard for anyone to even have a case to put up against Gretzky.

The easiest way to dead a thread is simply pointing out the potential argument that can be made against Jordan.

You ask anyone in the world who knows anything about hockey and the answer is ALWAYS Gretzky. The thread does not reach 4 long pages of back and forths...essentially the OP ends the thread they started with a fact. There is no "IMO" and there is no long intro framing an argument.

More or less. It'd be like if nobody but Ruth or Aaron or bonds (only one of the 3, just pick on at random for the sake of this hypothetical) had 700+ home runs and nobody else had cracked 500+.

No question about it homie


You can say you don't fukk with hockey but just state it beforehand because Gretzky >>>>>>>>> his closest comp and it's not even close compared to MJ. Good thread though like seeing different debate I'm surprised Mayweather didn't get much mention.

You can honestly say in some of his most recent big fights the past decade he probably lost no more than 10 combined rounds vs De La Homo,Mosley,Pacquiao,Cotto,Marquez,Canelo and this is a Mayweather that isn't even "prime" level Mayweather like the 135-140 pound PBF.

From Massachusetts. But even if I weren't, my arguments would still be the same.

Dude could definitely put up points but when you play with guys like Bob Cousy, Sam Jones, KC Jones, and Tom Heinsohn, there wasn't any need for him to focus on scoring, although dude put up points for sure.

His impact was defense foremost. As the most gifted defender of all time, he'd rebound and block shots like a machine. Nobody drove to the lane with Russell there. And he started countless fast-break scoring opportunities with his rebounding and outlet passing. Dude was an elite passer for a big man. He did everything the right way.

Plus 11 rings and 5 MVPs speak for themselves.
