This is a lazy way to dismiss an opposing viewpoint without addressing the actual substance. The GOAT debate spans many years now and includes respected voices from coaches, players, analysts, and historians—not just “casuals.” Claiming the debate is dominated by casual fans is you evading the actual topic, not an argument.

This is both arrogant and factually wrong. Jordan is often favored not because of ignorance, but because of his impact on the court

This is both anecdotal and unprovable. The idea that only “smart” fans pick LeBron is just a superiority complex masquerading as an argument.

Calling anyone who disagrees with you a “casual” isn’t a valid rebuttal. Your posts reek of intellectual insecurity, you dismiss any disagreement by labeling it casual is what someone who can't defend their position does. If your argument held any weight, you wouldn’t need to insult those who see the game differently
