Who could become known as a GOAT if...

[Gongxi]

Dirk

Awesome sig.

[lijoge]

that's easy...

Magic Johnson...

next question...

Brandon Roy would be in the discussion. Think about it. Top 10 player, top 3 SG (only behind 2 HoF'ers in their primes), but was deemed to have a low ceiling due to athleticism (and now health). One of the smartest, and most clutch players in the league

No way Brandon Roy is a top 3 SG right now, and they're way better candidates anyway.

Like someone said, Larry Bird.

A current player would be someone like Steve Nash or what about someone like Carmelo? He pretty much has all the traits that one would expect LeBron should have although Carmelo isn't as talented.

I think 05-06 Kobe could probably have broke the 100 pt mark and have averaged 40 points no lie.

[AI]

Allen Iverson.

No discussion, the only reason why AI wasn't able to average 40 PPG is because of his frame. Put him in a 6'8'', 250 lbs body, plus the passion and instinct he had, and you easily have the GOAT on your court.

I would still pick 05 Kobe, that's basically having Wilt in a modern era. Kobe might reach 45 ppg, 10 rpg, and 4 apg

Steve Nash's offensive abilities make LeBron insane. The shooting alone is enough. Think about it. LeBron shooting 50%/40%/90%? Are you kidding me?

He would truly be a walking triple double. The perfect Point-Forward. That, and he'd be a true leader that could absolutely will his team to victory.

Oh, and Robert Horry wouldn't have been able to body check him into the scorers table....

[Rupert Murdoch]

Kobe Bryant.
