The most exhausting question of all time, "Who is the goat?" To save myself from the hours and hours of writing a post based on my opinion, here are some more NBA player's answers after being asked who the NBA GOAT is.
Allen Iverson opened up on the GOAT debate and gave an answer that surprised me, and may surprise many others. Allen Iverson has great respect for Lebron and MJ, as he played against different versions of the players. Allen wan't the same when he played Lebron, but he still played against him nonetheless and experienced his game rather than being a bystander. Allen admitted In an interview on the Fat Joe show that as much as he loves Michael Jordan, he views Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James as "the one."
Former Boston Celtics forward Robert Parish spoke his truth into the GOAT discussion. "I've got to give credit where credit is due. That's the baddest man to ever play the game. I played against some really top talents, and Kareem hands down - he's the only player where there was nothing I could do to alter, change, redirect him. Nothing I could do." As the player who broke the record of playing the most NBA games, you could say that his opinion is not to be overlooked.
Last but not least, Ray Allen had an interesting opinion on this topic. "In my opinion, MJ is the GOAT. LeBron is a product of MJ, so a lot of what's in LeBron - in his DNA - comes from Michael." This surprises me as Lebron played arguably his best NBA years as he was on the same team as Ray Allen, but at least we know he's not lying.
