Usually, when we talk about nba goat. It is just MJ VS Lebron.

Yes, I know Kareem, Wilt, and even Russell get some votes. But it is still dominated by MJ and Lebron.

Why? What are the separator? Is it just the achievements? Or Just the eye test that they play basketball better?

Kareem, Wilt, Russell, Shaq, Hakeem, Magic, Larry, Hakeem, Kobe are usually in people’s top 10-12 range.

But why are we (or at least most people) only considering MJ and Lebron?

Anyways, I expect a new Goat Candidate will be present in 2040s.

Seems like he is not yet in the league. Unless Players like Wemby proves me wrong

PS: Please have serious answers.🙂
