His hyperbolic analog want necessary at allRashad McCants is an idiot
At the end of the day popular opinion is popular opinion... and nothing trumps it in terms of scale.. it doesn't matter
It's still an opinion..

One of the biggest basketball idiots I ever heard speak about basketball. He almost always gets it wrong about Kobe.
It was always funny and wild to me when a person would say Bron will never be more than #2 bc he's not like Jordan, while completely ignoring Kobe, who was the closest thing to him.
Like damn dawg I'm the LeBron Stan here why do I gotta help you with your argument?

Kobe being the closest thing to Mike is like saying California is closer to New York than saturn is. I don’t think he’s properly ranked.

Sadly I trust a lot of the voting media members over a lot of the players because they aren’t as biased.
A lot of the players are super biased because they are friends with each other or don’t like certain players. Just looking at a lot of these former players podcast that have popped up over the last few years proves this

There are a few observations I make any time these convos get brought up.
First, the debate around who is better when it comes to the best of the best is really dumb. Kobe and Bron were both at like the top 1% of the top 1%. When a player is that good, the amount where one is better than the other is all pretty much none measurable.
Second, the goat debate and whose was the best debate should be treated as two different things. Basketball is a team sport and not just the 15 man roster, but we're talking about coaching, training staff, ownership, GM etc. The better player can end up having less career accomplishments depending on the team they got drafted too or traded too and decided going too.
Third, former players don't sit and watch basketball like us fans do. I'm sure some of them do, but for the most part former players enjoy talking about the game more than watching the game, so their analysis around this and most other shit is usually garbage.
