You can't pick a GOAT there's too many factors. Generally speaking tho, Jordan, Russell, Magic, Chamberlain and Kareem interchangeable as #1 depending on who you ask and what era they're from.
Solid roster. Respect for all those players. Only one missing is Gary Payton. One of the best defensive players in the league.
How is this a solid list when it has Kevin Garnett and karl Malone but no LeBron?
Lebron is the Kendrick Lamar of the NBA. Came in the game after legends and hasn't had any real competition. He's coasting off the lack of real talent. Players aren't drafted the same, scouted the same, hell they aren't even coached the same as it was before.
He is the "franchise player". He became marketable and every player after him is supposed to fit that mold. He isn't a legend imo. He's a product. True he does numbers but look who he's up against.
A warrior with no war is just a mf with impressive stats.
His numbers look good but when you break down his career, what impact has he really made?
