When people are arguing the NBA GOAT debate, there is always a clash and difference in opinions. Different basketball rules, different teammates and competition, and many other factors make any GOAT equation extremely complicated to solve. It’s hard to compare eras, and it’s hard to compare players that play different positions. So, we decided to go around that problem, and made a list of greatest players - for all five positions in basketball.
Who's The GOAT At Every Position? - Спорт
Disagree with our list? Let us know your top 5.
you missed it at small forward and center. bird and wilt are the best ever. 84 nba finals game 5. the queen would have melted faster than the wicked witch in the wizard of oz. bird would have trash talked lebron into soiling his depends. wilt is the G.OA.T. period at any position
Bird is not better than bron but it’s close
@@angusthecat1689 Bird is a legend but if I were choosing, I need Lebron on my team, someone who can facilitate, who can put the ball in the hoops, very athletic, and is an All-around demon. Bird was just- slower, relied on shooting too much, his passing was decent and very good at some points, and his defense was just shitty.
@@1ksprite963 reading that comment i can tell you never saw him play
@@angusthecat1689 Nope, not one bit. But anyone with common sense would choose Lebron, Larry was a legend but his game is just all offense no defense, like a 80's Paul Pierce.
PG: Mario Chalmers, SG: Alex Caruso, SF:Brian Scalabrine, PF: Boban Marjanovic, C: Tacko Fall
Coach: FlightReacts
Lol that’s chill but why Mario? I think it should be Michael Carter Williams
yee
It's too bad your team is gonna lose to the 3peat master Patrick McCaw. He has never not won an nba title
lmao
Finals MVP: SCALABRINE
“Shaq 330 pounds of pure muscle” - being a little generous there.
Prime shaq wasn’t fat. A lot of his mass was relaxed muscles. Not as defined as bodybuilders’ muscles but muscles nonetheless
'00-'01 Shaq was still just a structure of brick and steal with flesh around it. But I'll give you this, he quickly got out of shape like after the chip of '01 he was just a 7 ft fat boy who could beat the Nets with J Kidd as their best player Kobe called him on it we all know its true but them first 2 he was like MJ in a sense "the perfect athlete".
@@fezzik7619
No way he only had 8% fat during his peak... That's just too low, at least for the eye test.
@@danielsantiago9637 what about rook shaq 290 and lookin under wieght
@@lucasmaddocks4804 at 7'2 its hard to judge all of this lol I just he got our of shape quickly after those 3 chips and 330 of pure muscle wasnt all that generous
“John Stockton was an above average shooter.”
John Stockton is #18 all time in career true shooting percentage, only one tenth of one percent behind James Harden.
He also #51 in all time career effective field goal percentage, a hundredth of a percent better than Kevin Durant.
Of course Curry is #5 and #13, but still. He was a lot better than above average
Stockton was a great shooter, no doubt about that.
not to mention leader in steals and assists
well yes but that is above average
he was! 5 11 slow couldn't jump give head his due
So many people disrespect John Stockton man
Considering each ones era, I would pick: Magic, MJ, LeBron, Duncan and Bill Russell.
Considering the way the game is played today: Curry, MJ, Lebron, Duncan and Hakeen
Bron sucks at free throws and he's jump shot is below average.... I would take bird over bron if u going retro team..... Curry probably wouldn't be running pg if u got bron on the modern team he would be more of a spot up 3

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Way more of your shots go in when you are CLOSER to the basket
Hes right but it results in less points
@@Robertedwinhouse38 and the other team would have less chances at points
@@lukascubes9132 not if they shoot 3s
@@Robertedwinhouse38 That makes no sense at all. I mean if you use the big men to back down in the post and shoot mid-ranges, you burn down the shot clock and that means less pace = less chances to shoot, 2s or 3s.
@@lukascubes9132 no I’m saying if one team starts shooting 3’s the other team has no choice but to start shooting 3’s. But if a team starts shooting only 2s the other team can play however they want. How do you think we got to this era. Teams are giving each other no choice but to shoot 3s
The center position is the toughest to fill in my opinion. There are to many greats to choose from
Kareem rusell wilt shaq n hakeem
@@bewoklearning9039I would narrow that to Kareem, Shaq, and Wilt. The order is pretty interchangeable.
@@americandissident9062 you can’t cut Hakeem man

Wilt averaged 40 ppg for 515 consecutive games (6 seasons). Rank #2 in that category goes to Elgin Baylor with 33 games. Fun fact: He also grabbed 25 rpg average for those 6 seasons.
40-25 average for 515 consecutive games and you can easily add 8 bpg. It's not even close.

Center is tough because you have Shaq who is the most dominant, Wilt who is the most athletic and polarizing with Hakeem Olajuwon as probably best 2-way center. However, Kareem was so unstoppable that the league decided to implement a no-dunking rule for 9 seasons to make it more "fair" for others and probably cost him several thousand points.

As Wilt once told mj “They changed the rules to stop me from dominating and they changed the rules SO you could dominate.”
Edit: These guys in my replies know a lot about basketball, you should check it out.
Wilt was not allowed to dunk or post up near the hoop down low using his back to the basket backing down guys like 2000 shaq was allowed to do...mj meanwhile kept losing to the pistons until the summer 1990 rule changes about letting offensive players dribble without a hand on them especially in the air near the rim or else its called a foul..mj lived off that stuff which used to be let go a lot more..it made it easy to score at the rim vs bigs who were slow and go at the rim on guards from the perimeter who were strong used to hand checking but not as quick...totally a mismatch now cause he could get bigs in foul trouble or they had to let him score go in fear of a foul plus that opened up passing lanes off over help reactions on d and reb chances for bulls bigss wings...and the quicker guards were smaller so mj would post them up or shoot over them...either way you lose...
@@razkable Cool dude.
Mj was going to the playoffs almost every year the rule change didn't help him that much his team did
@@razkable The Flagrant foul rule wasn't introduced because of Jordan. What rule are you talking about? They also changed rules for Mikan, Mikan>Jordan?
@@87mchale.71 Jordan couldn't beat the Pistons. The league hated the Pistons. The Pistons figured out how to dominate while Magic and Bird were dying out. The league definitely changed the rules to benefit Jordan. Jordan was making the league mad money and giving them media attention. No super star got as much leverage as Jordan, not even Lebron. The league never pushed another player like Jordan because of how the numbers dropped when he retired. So they learned to never push just one player like that again. Jordan had plenty of leverage and is over pushed. Look at the delusional Jordan fanboys now, that should be a primary example right there.

BEST TEAM NO DOUT

I somehow knew Curry was going to be point guard and don’t have issue being on someone’s list, but their eras have definitely 2 different positions from the traditional PG.
That point about Magic needing the ball? Keep in mind Nixon was the point guard in 80-83 before the Lakers traded him. During those years, Magic still obtained 2 finals MVPs. Not bad for “someone who needs the ball…” :)
I consider Curry an undersized SG playing out of position
The fact that curry plays off the ball is a big advantage and one of the major reasons why people choose him over magic. Although magic is a better and more complete PG than curry, he doesn’t need to be guarded at half court and off the ball making it tough for the opponent’s D
The greatest point guard ever is Stockton. Magic is second best. Curry is a great shooting guard, but an average point guard. He plays out of position.
Where Brian Scalabrine he used to win games without even playing in them.

Center seems like the most difficult choice by far. I'd probably go for Wilt cause of his unreal numbers, but still i think you could go with Russell, Kareem, Hakeem, Shaq or David Robinson and you wouldn't be wrong. Think Oscar Robertson deserves a special mention at the PG position too.
I'm taking Russell. He outsmarted Wilt each time and 11 rings is a lot.
Wilt and Russell got to beat up on factory workers. What they did in the time they played is remarkable but not nearly as impressive as Kareem, Shaq, Olajuwon.

Honorable Mentions: Kobe, Wilt Chamberlain, Karl Malone
Kareem was 7'2 in his bare feet. I'd also put Julius Erving on the list of small forwards. He won championships in the ABA. And carried that league. He elevated the level of play above the rim for the first time. After Wilt Chamberlain opened the door Dr.J was first multi million dollar advertising man in basketball. As Michael Jordan has said if there was no Dr.J there would have been no MJ. Erving is a leader in most minutes played and consistent numbers overall. And he had crossover appeal to non basketball fans.

Magic to the 80s was what Steph Curry was to the second half of the 2010s.
No he wasn't...they're game styles are completely different..Bird was more like Curry..Magic couldn't shoot 3's..had no jump shot, poor mechanics. Magic was the elite pass first PG ..Curry is a shoot first 2 way gaurd listed as PG..no comparison to Magic. Curry and Bird both average 6 assist per game ..those are not elite point gaurd numbers. Bird and Curry two of the greatest 3pt shooters in the game...Magic not..Magic arguably the greatest PG ever
@@trol4889 I'm just pointing out facts...don't know how he meant it..but theres just no comparison to Curry and Magic..anyway you put it. Nothing to chill about..I wasn't disrespectful, didn't call names, made no personal attacks..just expressed my opinion and backed it up with facts...this is a discussion forum isn't it??
@@rodcav3 My take. The game has changed. Curry doesn’t need to facilitate in the traditional sense. He did that when Mark Jackson was around and teams swarmed him. They still swarm him today but he gets a lot of “off assists” that comes from his movement and all the attention the opposing teams put on him. So yeah he averages 6 assists but look how many of those other assists from draymond or whoever came directly from either Currys movement post pass or the double and triple team he gets once he passes half court.
@@jaeb4743 I respect your analysis but...even though the game has changed the point position hasn't look at Chris Paul, Rondo, the Ball brothers, Kyle Lowery, etc these are true points..Making the pass, finding people open, in the right spot with the right delivery that is a point gaurds role, thats not Stephs game. Steph is a shooter and the best to have ever done it..he is literally a 2 gaurd,... great shooters will always get attention no matter what position they play like Ray Allen, Reggie Miller, Larry Bird, , etc but they weren't point gaurds MJ, Kobe Dwade and AI were all 2 gaurds that got the same attention Steph gets...they created the problems for opposing teams like Steph does. They did it with they're ability to take the ball to the rack and penetrate..Steph doesn't penetrate as much because he is such a great outside shooter but Steph belongs in that league with the top 2 gaurds..not the point gaurds
@@rodcav3 I respect it. But out of the PGs you listed Rondo is the only one with a championship. Traditional PGs don’t really translate in today’s NBA. Too dig a little deeper Lonzo was considered a bust by a lot of ppl. Maybe because of his lack of shooting. This year he had a resurgence because of it. I can see where ur coming from tho with steph not being a “true” guard.
PG: Curry

C: Shaq
Olajuwon led THE-MOST dominant-threat team ever with the 1994 Houston Rockets man they were downright nasty and scary between Olajuwons domination and their other 4's 3's and insane defense you couldn't figure out when they weren't going to score on a possession or overturn-steal the other team's ball. They were the perfect team surrounded by the most complete center in league history. I would go on to say the dream team if 94/95 Olajuwon was on it would be worse because he was such a complete player, he transcended basketball the way Jordan did, but he was a center, and his team was furiously driven while in the absense of Jordan in those 2 odd years. Those of us who witnessed that time were so confused in that era of viewership because of the big hole of Jordan's disenfranchisement of basketball due to his dad's tragic killing and also this team that had stormed and assaulted the league in that void. The rockets were so ferocious the lock they had on basketball going into the post-season to the championship left no hope for anyone because you knew they were going to suffocate and pillage opponents. This 93-94 94-95 Rockets team for me had to be the best and Olajuwon would have been Bill Russell in championships had he had that team which he threatened to leave the Rockets for because of prior to the 1993 regular season and ended up getting it.

Shadow2dubz HELL no wilt was stronger than him (that’s a fact he can lift more) wilt was way more skilled able to do fade-away a, sky hooks, etc. Shaq was only good in his prime while wilt and Kareem were amazing their whole career.
Tbh I Would Have Poppovich. I Think He Was A Better Coach Than Phil In My Opinion. Ik Phil Has More Rings But Still
simon cohen that’s not true because wilt did have hof help although not as much as Russell so I guess your kinda right but you can’t say it as tho wilt had pure bums on his team, he’s had hof teammates it’s just that he had a bigger load than most players
ShadowReacts The Talent Was Already There On The Bulls And Lakers. Phil Came In And Coached When Jordan Was In His Prime. Bulls Had Jordan Pippen And Rodman. When He Went To The Lakers Kobe And Shaq. Coached Two Dominant Teams When The Talent Is Already There. Poppovich On The Other Hand, Had 5 Rings Without Any Standout Stars Besides Duncan And A Little Of Robinson. Poppovich Made Okay Players Better. Trading Kawai Leonard Was Genius Of Poppovich
simon cohen Leonard Is The Only Player (Besides Green) That Can Guard LeBron Well. Really Sucks In Playoffs, 2 Time Finals MVP. Okay

The 5 GOATs and the Mount Rushmore of basketball.Those are the 5 best All Around basketball players of all time, they could do it all and could do everything in a basketball court, can't say that about Kareem, Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem, they all had some flaws. Unlike big men the guys I listed can actually dribble, they can actually create their own shot off the dribble from anywhere and can score from anywhere on the floor. Not to mention that unlike big men their actually clutch and can consistently hit game winners and you could actually go to them in the last seconds of a game since they can actually dribble and create their own shot as opposed to having to waste a bunch of time posting up and then have to have someone else pass them the ball down low and then only be able to score from 1-12 feet. Plus all those guys can also shoot free throws so they aren't a liability if you put the ball in their hands in the last seconds. They are also the most clutch shot makers of all time. Besides Reggie, Dirk and Pierce.
This lineup would also run any big man off the floor and would force any opposing team to have to go small with a small ball lineup in order to match up with their speed, shooting, spacing and driving ability. I think LeBron at center is an even worse/impossible matchup for any big man but I put Magic at center since he's played the position before and also because LeBrons a better perimeter defender. This team would be incredible defensively on the perimeter, they'd all be able to switch anything on defense. I don't know why everyone always does the best player by position thing and adheres to positional basketball, it should just be about picking the 5 best players of all time regardless of position. Today's NBA is position less and the top teams and dynasties like the Warriors and Lebron's teams have opted to go with small ball lineups. It is the future of the NBA and it is the most evolved state of basketball in the modern day. You can put guys like Kobe and MJ at SF because they were big enough to play the position at 6'6 215 pounds. Bird at PF gives you the ultimate stretch 4 and a nightmare matchup for any lineup that tries to put Duncan in there as there PF, Bird can at least guard Duncan and has somewhat of a chance to guard him but Duncan has absolutely no chance in hell of guarding Bird. Bird at PF forces the opposing team to have to go small. In a 7 game series the only way you could even create a lineup that could compete with the one I created is if you created a small ball lineup to match up with them defensively. You could create a small ball lineup that could at least matchup with them defensively and maybe win 1 or 2 games in a 7 game series but that's about it. Maybe something like
PG: Stephen Curry

A lineup like that could actually matchup really well defensively and wouldn't get swept at least. But that's about the best you could create to matchup with the team I made. Some lineup like
PG: Stephen Curry
SG: Dwyane Wade
SF: Kevin Durant
PF: Tim Duncan

Would just get destroyed and would be too slow defensively to keep up on the face break, on rotations, screens and pick and rolls.

Mt.Rushmore - MJ, Kareem, Lebron & Magic
Jden Ian Rushmore should be a split of Magic an Larry as one head. There equal players, if not Bird is a better
@@vensore883 Yeah, I tossed up between them, I also considered Wilt, but that would be more to please others, as my personal opinion, although great, he played against mostly amatuer teams, there was only about 8 teams to play against back then and I honestly believe in today's game, the 90's, 2000's he would not have stood out like he did back then, same with Bill Russell, 11 rings are impressive but he only had competetion of 7 other teams and the Celtics paid players to make the very first super team.
For Pf honorable mentions is Kevin Garnett and Dirk Nowitzki
pretty good list i only disagree with one thing. No hakeem at center is a sin. I would argue that he was best at that position. But even if you dont think so, in your view he is not top 3???
Also Lebron vs Bird is much closer and it can go both ways, if we go for stat player than its Bron if we go for clutch/killer/winner player its Bird ;)
switch Shaq and Russel, Durant and Erving

@@miguelpascual824 purely based on position, yes I guess.. But I think Hakeem is better than either of them and that's why had to take him in this spot. I know he was a center, but he had the skills to play forward anyday. Jordan also said that Hakeem is a Forward playing on center position!

Allen Iverson get mentioned? I know his shooting percentages aren’t that good but he averaged 26 points per game over his career. He won mvp and absolutely changed the game. (Also his crossover was amazing ). Steph curry Chris Paul and more point guards. Just a idea dont know if everyone will ageree for a mention.

This is objectively the correct answer
This was a really complete breakdown that justified every choice and gave tribute to all the other notable possibilities for each position.
I didn't agree lock stock and barrel but he's not wrong. You can take just about any combination of these and be right.
Hakeem was my favorite non-Jordan player growing up (c'mon, we all liked Mike), I'd put him as my GOAT... if I had to build an all-time starting 5, I'd go with Steph, MJ, LeBron, Dirk and Dream. Magic and LeBron's games are pretty similar, so I'd rather have the dynamic scorer. 3 guys that spread the floor, MJ for the drives and Dream to anchor the post... how could you lose?
