Lakers: LAvengers

[baseline bum]

I still think it’s MJ over Bron Kobe Tim Kareem if we talking strictly NBA …
But also consider that Bron not only won les with 3 different coaches but 3 different franchises
Different wing men as his #2. Spo is the only coach of his that is sniffing the HOF he won with Lue (solid) and Vogel (above average) heck Spo was unproven when they won as well
Bron of the top 4-5 players has the most unique resume and definitely deserves a seat at the table when talking GoATS even over Kobe or Timmy who I prefer over him … personally… I’m just not a blind homer. It’s MJ then kareem or Bron then it’s the Timmy Shaq Kobe but I think there is a clear leader.

LOL Kareem who carried his teams to .500 records in his prime as a top 3 player all time.

Bum we can pick nits at every players resume especially when comparing to the best of the best.
After MJ the debate starts …

How are you gonna be a top 3 player all time when you can't be depended on to lead your team to 50 wins in a weak league?

Not arguing for Kareem and I think your teams success should be a factor, along with impact, dominance sustained greatness and peak performance compared to the other greats.

Some guys will fare better in some of these categories than others but dismissing Kareem completely seems silly.
And also seems kind of convenient having 50 wins as some arbitrary threshold or criteria… gee, I wonder whose case choosing that helps?!

And his team had no success when he didn't have a top 3 all time PG next to him.

Better to be in the lottery in a great draft than get your teeth kicked in in the play-in game.

Spurs are in "brick for vic" mode. I am not sure what the plan is for lakers. Are they trying to win?

I agree

It is puzzling to me why Kareem didn't dominate his early Career but I think it was a lack of motivation. He physically dominated the sport at multiple levels and let's be honest Basketball was an after thought at the time.

I might be bias but I think Kareems portfolio puts him near the Top and IMO solid #2. I rank Bird & Duncan arguably higher than others but I don't believe their accomplishments quite compare. Especially when one considers off the court influence.

Off the court stuff shouldn’t factor in comparing players
Social activism and pro athlete career are 2 distinct things, as much as I respect what Kareem has done off the court - except for being a father (on that note, Larry Bird too)
