2632659, Even he does win more rings - it won't matter to his detractors
Posted by Vex_id, Mon Dec-04-17 11:08 AM
Bron could win two more and people would still exercise a simple ring-count test to determine his place. So he'll likely stay at the #2 spot regardless of whether he wins 1 more ring, 2 more - or no more.

But all-time greatness isn't just a ring-count exercise - otherwise you would never have Wilt as highly ranked as you have him, right?

So, the GOAT contest isn't just about accomplishments and titles - it's about who is the greatest basketball player of all time - and there are a myriad of metrics to measure that. If it was simply about championship accomplishments - then Bill Russell would be the GOAT - but he's not.
