When you talk about true GOATs, like a legit GOAT in a sport as popular and prevalent as basketball, there is zero margin for error. Zero.
What Bron did in the finals vs Dallas removed him from the GOAT discussion forever. Sorry. Just the way it is. You’re allowed to have off-nights, you’re even allowed to lose a series. It’s a team game. So Jordan doesn’t get the nod simply because he was 6-0 in the finals. But you can’t do whatever the fvck it was Bron did in that series, on that stage. It was like he was kidnapped or being held hostage. So, he’s obviously great, he might even be the 2nd best player ever, but you can’t put that on film for multiple games on that stage and be the GOAT.
