2703732, They made some flubs but there's some good stuff here

Zeke being that low is hilarious and probably not accurate.

David Robinson is underappreciated but I think they give him too much credit for longevity which was definitively assisted by Duncan's greatness. If Dream had a Duncan, he might have played longer and won more too. I think the stats they showed about the head to head with Dream told the entire story.

I love when people say, Kobe was a 1a to Shaq during their run but then you see stuff like this:

"Over the course of his first seven playoff runs with the Los Angeles Lakers (100 games), O'Neal averaged 29.1 points, 13.4 rebounds, 3.1 assists and 2.5 blocks. During the Lakers' three-peat, he averaged 35.9 points, 15.2 rebounds, 3.5 assists and 2.9 blocks in 15 Finals games.

During the 2000 Finals alone, he put up 38.0 points, 16.7 rebounds, 2.7 blocks and 2.3 assists on the way to his first title."

And realize, that was Shaq's team. Kobe was a Robin...a very good one but those first 3 rings were probably 70% Shaq and 30% Kobe.

And to the whole LeBron vs Jordan debate...this sums it up:

"But even all of that isn't quite enough to give LeBron the No. 1 spot. Yet. Statistically, he may be the best. But he's not the greatest. That comes from winning."

He wins a few more, which he's positioned to do, most people won't put up a huge fight with him being considered GOAT. Right now, LeBron's fighting to make it less of a fight and more of an acknowledgment. Only reason Jordan can really top Cap is because of Jordan's 6-0. If Bron get's 5-6 with his track record, the L's won't mean as much and people will bow down...even begrudged Jordania citizens like myself (though about 60% of the whole country likely won't agree, making a 40% dent pretty much solidifies it).
