Obviously Jordan was a great all around player but did he win before Pippen? No.. He would score 30-40 points easily with no rings to show so therefore all he did was score a lot of points.. and during the 6 championships finals Pippen led the two in every stat besides points.. :dontknow:

Lebron took another step up the ladder but Jordan is still several rungs ahead.

Lebron needs at least one more back to back championship, and even that may not be enough depending on the circumstances. He has set the table for himself though.

I credit Lebron. Jordan threw down the gauntlet with the documentary and Lebron picked it up with his bubble championship. Lebron has kept his quest for the GOAT title alive.

Well 37 voted in the other poll. That is 10% of this poll.
:lol:


While posting on both the GB and the PC Board I gotta say I trust 10% of the PC board more than 100% of the GB.


Phew... the results corrected themselves nicely. I get to stay lol.

All this means that there are a 100 voters who are less than 18 years of age lol.

Wilt Chamberlain Reportedly Had A Quintuple-Double With 53 Points, 32 Rebounds, 14 Assists, 24 Blocks, And 11 Steals. Triple-doubles are a relatively rare feat in the NBA. ... On March 18th, 1968 the NBA's greatest record breaker allegedly did something amazing: a quintuple-double (the first and only one in NBA history).

This should be the real realgm Top 100's Number One. I'm glad I got out of the PC board's travesty before the voting started. My only regret is that my name will be dragged through the mud by appearing on page 1. Hopefully, the mods will do the right thing and erase the names of people who don't participate for a single one of the Top 100, which I won't. LBJ @ #1 is a disgrace to the site.

I read that thread and every comment and some of those votes were biased for lebron. Mj voters attacked for their formulas. Or for saying that 09 lebron run was not as good as they thought.
Jordan called a fg spammer for his 86 celtics series scoring 43ppg on 51% fg with no 3 pointer.
But lebron praised for 15 finals where he shot 33fg on 39%.
There were many more instances also 37 voters is not a huge number of voters. Also given that you had be approved to get to vote and some of those names who got approved have a good record of propping lebron up by shiting on other players record.

I'm well into my 30s and have LeBron as the GOAT.

It’s such a shame and disrespectful that Wilt has only 11 votes. But I guess I can understand since hardly anyone voting here seen him play. All the people and media putting championships as a big reason these players are above Wilt just don’t get basketball is a team sport and also coaching matters too. LeBron didn’t win till he teamed up in Miami. Jordan didn’t win till pippen and Jackson got that team together. Kareem had Oscar and then Magic. Russell has all those Hof plus Red. Wilt in my opinion was the greatest basketball player ever and really it’s not close.

Did Lebron win before teaming up with Bosh, Wade, Irving, Love, and Davis?

There should be a requirement that if you are going to be part of the project that at least you have to vote in the top 10. The votes went from 37 to 27 votes just from number 1 to number 2. Which makes it seem that many signed up to vote for there guy and leave.

Agreed its not even close... wilt was babe Ruth , Bolt, and joe Dimaggio all in one player... his domination is beyond imagination... NBA MVP in his rookie year... still holds 72 NBA records over 40 years since his death... most that will never be broken... he dominates others in their sport too... our ran the top NFL running back in His prime..Jim brown... top high jumper, world number one volleyball player, top weight lifter... bench pressing twice Shaq s top number... ali was afraid to box wilt,... the list is endless...

Averaged 50 points 25 rebounds for a whole season... lead the league in assists one year... top blocker in history.... more 50, 60, 70 point games than all of Jordan, Kobe, lebron combined.... even at the end of his career he was only one to consistently block Kareem sky hook... id pers were recorded his would be in the stratosphere for his career... no one even came close.... then nor now...

That's exactly what people did. The PC board is essentially a Lebron circle jerk. It used to not have as many biased participators, but the Lebron people infiltrated it, and now it is what it is.

There's a lot of people that don't have Wilt in the top 5, let alone at the very top. I mean you have some people that put Tim Duncan ahead of Wilt :lol:

What can you do?

Yes as it turns out, based on mathematical principles and mathematic laws 38 points is not 40. So no, I do not see a "back to back" 40 point games. And anyway, LeBron still did more. I can reply back with, "Are you really going to ignore LeBron's 34-12-10 on 55%" in the 2017 Finals? I get that Kyrie was a special scorer, but LeBron still scored more so what does that say?

You got owned, man. Stand up to it. You talk without even doing the slightest bit of homework, and we all know people like you will pretend Bron carried AD in the bubble to the title two or three years from now. Its always the same ol' song, which is why noone with a bit of self esteem wants to play alongside bron. Stans will always try to exaggerate what he did and try to tell us his team mates are awful and useless.

I never get owned, ever. Let's start there. If anything, you as a LeBron hater has been getting owned ever since 2004. 17 years of being owned as a LeBron hater. Ouch. And guess what, year 18 is on the way. That means 18 years of ownage. How do you cope with that volume of abuse? You are a tough man.
