My uncle says this all the time...that Kareem is the greatest ever.
Even though MJ won 6 Finals MVP's compared to Kareem's 2, I still say that Kareem is the GOAT BASKETBALL player, but I think MJ had the GOAT NBA career though imo. Kareem absolutely dominated college basketball, while Jordan didn't.

Maybe MJ had the better NBA career but Kareem had the better basketball career. He dominated at every level.

One NBA GM recently told ESPN's Chad Ford: "If you were to ask me right now whether I’d take Ennis over Kyrie Irving, I think it’s Ennis. He does all the things that help a basketball team win basketball games. You can pick him apart on individual flaws, but I would take this kid right now and trust him to run my team. I think there’s very few freshmen you could ever say that about."
:lupe:

lol , why bring up their religions? Lol

Yo, I was a kid during MJs reign, so I love em

But, I strongly believe Michael is propped hp as the undisputed GOAT is because of NIKE and Mike being so popular
Mike still maybe the real GOAT, but, the fact that ppl talk about Lebron, before Kareem is :gag:

:skip: Yea that religion part caught me off guard. :yeshrug: I can't blame Kareem though with the way he didn't fukk with the media and didn't like white folks much for a large part of his life. Imagine playing basketball growing up and your own coach is saying the N word to your face and fukking with you like that? But, yea even Russell & Wilt get more love than Kareem does in the media when it comes to all-time greats. I really can't take anyone's basketball opinion if Kareem ain't in the top 5 of all time. And for LeBron, that's just what the media do. I'm a big Kobe stan, and I was like nah when the media were saying he was better than Jordan, now media trying to sell that LeBron can be better than Jordan too. They will do the same thing too when and if Durant wins a ring too.

lol @ Kobe being the GOAT Laker (according to the media) he ain't better than Magic, let alone Cap

IMO, I don't like the list, because they usually disprespect guys based on their eras

Russel won 11 rings wearin worst shoes, in the 60s, than cafeteria workers in the 00s...imavine him with that Germany knee surgery

I digress...

But these list don't have enough big men and too many wings

And through my predestrian knowledge of NBA history, the rules have always been sumthung bugs had to over one, while wings benefitted from

Shaq was being beat like bigs in the 80s, but, they took hand checking away so Lebron can stuff arm his way to the lane

Bigs go thru more to be great

Executives remain infatuated with Joel Embiid and his upside. More and more executives believe that he’ll be the No. 1 overall pick. However, it really depends on which team wins the lottery. If it’s a team that already has a long-term answer at center, Embiid may go slightly lower than expected.

Noah Vonleh is someone to watch throughout the pre-draft process. The 18-year-old is 6’10 with a 7’4 wingspan and executives rave about his potential and his ability to score inside and out.

You probably recognize the name Dario Saric from last year’s pre-draft process, when he received some hype before ultimately pulling his name out. This year, he’ll be a lottery pick.

Jabari Parker slips to No. 5 because I’ve talked a few executives who are concerned that he’ll be a tweener in the NBA.
