The question of who the NBA's GOAT is has always been a hot topic among fans, and the more widely recognized one is Jordan, who completely dominated the 90s and pushed the NBA to unprecedented heights. But with James' emergence and great success, Jordan's position has become less secure. In addition, there have been many superstars in the NBA. The American media HoopsHype conducted a questionnaire survey on 100 active NBA players, and it was about the GOAT vote: Anthony 1 vote, Kobe Bryant 9 votes, and James is close to Jordan
Russell 1 vote
The old man who has passed away is actually very important to the NBA, he can also be the GOAT before Jordan, who led the Celtics to 11 championships, and there are so many rings that he can't wear his hands, so he is also known as the Lord of the Rings. But it makes more sense on a spiritual level, because Russell pushed black players into the NBA, and it was accepted by all fans in an area like Boston. So after his death, all NBA teams also directly retired his No. 6 jersey to show respect for him.
Wade 1 vote
Although Wade did not have a good reputation after retiring, including the "9 points" incident in the slam dunk contest, but at his peak, his strength was definitely the top three in the league, especially when he led the team to win the championship in the third year and won the FMVP, how many people in history can do it? Most of the active players are in their 20s, and there must have been those who have just seen Wade in his prime and then admired him.
Bird 1 vote
The player who chose Bird should be the Celtics, after all, his age is relatively far away, and basically none of the active players have seen him play, and among the superstars of his generation, there are Jordan, Johnson, Abdul-Jabbar, etc., which can be described as a hundred flowers. Of course, Bird's quality is undoubted, and he is also the only white player in the top 10 of all time.
Durant 1 vote
Needless to say, everyone probably knows the name, Edwards personally admitted that Durant is his GOAT, saying that he has been watching Durant play since he was 5 years old, and Durant is the first player who is more than 2.10 meters tall, but can shoot like this and score so easily. In the game, Edwards also imitated Durant in many moves, and the two talked and laughed every time they met.
Anthony 1 vote
It's surprising that Melon's name is here, after all, he doesn't have a championship and doesn't win too many accolades in the regular season. The only explanation should be that he is very strong on the international stage, but not as strong as Durant. But looking back, George can be called GOAT by his fans, and Anthony should have such a loyal fan.
Kobe Bryant 9 votes
In 21 in fact, in the first 10 years, Kobe Bryant won 5 championships, both technical and mental, Kobe Bryant has done the ultimate, including many players who have played against him, all admire Kobe, Wade even said in person that Kobe is the Jordan of their time, which is already the highest evaluation.
James 37 votes
This value is already very high, even close to Jordan, it can be seen that James has indeed won the recognition of many people, especially his former teammates, according to statistics, 50% of James's teammates chose Jordan and 50% chose James. It's really hard for you to imagine that a star who has played in the league for 21 years is still at the top level in terms of strength, but James has done it and broken many people's perceptions.
Jordan 49 votes
Only 1 vote short of reaching 50%, although he has also retired for 21 years, Jordan's influence is still there. In fact, Jordan is a strengthened version of Kobe Bryant in all aspects, with the same strong competitiveness, the same grandmaster-level technology, Jordan has better physical fitness, and also has a higher legend, retired for 2 years after winning three consecutive championships, and continued to win three consecutive championships when he came back, proving that he has always been the champion if he wants to.
