The Athletic just polled NBA Players on who the GOAT is

[Professor Emeritus]

I'm happy with 90% of those votes on there. I'm happy with about 90% of the votes on the underrated group too.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Tracy mcgrady over Bill Russell is crazy.

I'm pretty sure it was literally just 1 guy who voted for T Mac, so it's not like that means anything.

 

[10bandz]

We all know how most NBA players who played against all 3 or even 2 of them rank them....

I bet it was a Klutch sport operative's poll.

 

[Boogie]

Do they really have the whole Grizzlies team?

 

[VegasCAC]

It's a shyt poll that doesn't deserve any analysis is my takeaway

Yeah, Coli nerds like you know better than real NBA players. You ain't a hooper at all fr

 

[Born2BKing]

I'm at a point in life that I may lay hands on anyone who doesn't have Jordan as the goat.

 

[Professor Emeritus]

Do they really have the whole Grizzlies team?

The whole team got a vote for "talks the most trash" too, but it was written in disrespectfully like, "The Grizzlies Kids"

 

[Braman]

So Bron stans taking morale victories now 20 years in and the majority is still not convinced, maybe 10 more years playing will do it

Ya know it’s mighty funny that ‘bron Stans’ is now used for bron vs Jordan. When the original vendetta, the debate, ‘Bronsexuals’, group chat gettin personal, all that was Bron vs Kobe.

Kobe fans y’all ain’t slick bruh. We know that since no one debates bron vs Kobe anymore and y’all finally had to accept that L, yll just pole jocked over to the Jordan camp

Lame shyt

 

[Conan]

"The Grizzlies"

Klay penciled that in

players know wassup. JJ has a black belt in karate

 

[Trojan 24]

That's my whole point. It's not a top 5 list. You can't claim Kobe is top 5 just because 7 out of 108 voters are ridiculous people. They're outliers who already lost credibility.





Just because you don't like the results?

Except you made a definitive claim he wasn't when I just made a statement alluding that he could be. I'm also not a pseudo intellectual so I have wiggle room
