BGOL, how do you feel about this NBA 4 GOATS pic by NBA.com?

Lebron over Kobe easily...but not Magic...they're tripping with that one.

I don't judge it by that. Thats always opinionated. Almost always circumstantial.

I look at the overall body of work. I look at circumstances. I look at strengths and weaknesses.

Lebron is similar to Shaq that their physical gifts make them seem like a lock for 'best ever', but in both cases, something was missing.

Most of the second-tier legends, I feel, have first tier abilities/attributes, but whether through circumstances within or beyond their control, they didn't ascend to that level.

Thats the only way I can see them coming up with that list that way..

as basically everyone has said too early for james to be up there

All this is is clickbait.

- Lebron is the only active player up there so it's just not a good fit on principle.
- Any M. Rushmore conversation without Russell is also crazy. He just has too many rings to be ignored.
