Cause we're getting to the 70th year of the NBA coming into the next season and there are some players people will never ever move from their spot.

It's like trying to discredit Chuck Berry or the Beatles or Rakim... they were the first to do what they did at that level... but theoretically if some player came into the NBA next year, averaged 40-10-10 and won the next 10 championships, you'd have to say they're the greatest right?

I never watched Wilt or Russell in their prime but I'm pretty sure Lebron would beat Prime Russell in a game of 1 on 1... but does that make him greater?

Anyway I'm not fighting some 16 year old kid that thinks that Lebron is the GOAT and I'm not fighting an 80 year old that thinks Russell is the GOAT cause they both probably belong in the GOAT tier.
