    Mitchell is the third Jazz player to test positive.

    Gobert should be tossed into the ocean a few dozen miles off-shore.

    yeah Zion has always seemed like a good kid. Good on him and his parents and coaches.
    That dude who does sometimes funny videos overlyimitating nba players did a Zion one recently. Can't remember the guy's name.

    If someone wants to tell me Kareem is the GOAT, I'll respect that opinion. May not agree, but I'll respect it.

    LBJ? LOL LOL LOL LOL

    Also an acceptable answer. Probably #3 IMO

    Just cant roll with kareem. He was the tallest dude out there and would get run to death by todays 5s. Great player for his era. Thats about it. One trick sky hook pony. Wilt as well. Like a sr in HS playing against a bunch of scared 8th graders. Neither could handle the ball, shoot or leave the paint. They didnt have to. If you cant defend out to the 3, nor possess multiple offensive skillsets, i personally cant include you in goat talk. Their skill was size over their competition.

    The voting shows how far the LeBron/MJ debate has moved from reality. MJ was a better passer? Come the [uck fay] on.

    I don't know that I would label LeBron the GOAT over MJ, but this whole "LOL LOL LOL LOL" approach to the conversation is prime evidence of a person not interested in considering the facts. You're never going to change your mind, no matter what happens, so why bother?

    For me, a championship with the Lakers, either this year or next, solidifies LeBron as the GOAT, no hesitation. A title with 3 different teams despite never having a top tier coach, plenty of All-NBA, All-Star, and MVP performances, his longevity, and his consistent, deep playoff runs get him over the hump.

    It's like trying to place Shaq in this debate. Those sorts of big men just belong in their own category.

    I’ll take Lebron as a better passer. That’s it. And I’m not a hater. It just is what it is.

    Lebron is another one. Big and strong great athletic beast. But as far as basketball skills, not up there with goat. His game in a 6'6 220 frame would be mediocre and that hard left shoulder attack would be cut off and defended easier than at 6'9 260 steamrolling towards the rim. Never went into the post like he should have. Didnt have the various moves to do it.

    Ooooooooooooooooooooooooooooook.

    And there will always be looking terrified and passing to Wade during crunch time in 2011. That's why he never is and never will be the GOAT.

    It's hilarious to me that "Better Rebounder" wasn't a question, but shit like "Better Look" and "Better Sneaker for Fashion" made the list. Point is, they got what they wanted out of this exercise.

    I'd take LeBron as a better defender because he's significantly more versatile. He can guard and shut down any position on the floor.

    You could argue better offensive player, too, if you factor in things outside of just points (assists, control of the offense, etc.).

    There's also a conversation to be had in the clutch/game winning shot category, but that's one where evidence goes out the window.
