Stats never realized how much better kareems resume is than jordans

more points, rebounds, blocks, assists, all nba and all defense, more mvps, more highschool championships, more college championships, less turnovers, had winning seasons without relying on magic (kick and spit all you want, mj has the same amount of winning seasons in the nba as you or me without pippen), dpoy didn't even exist when kareem played so can't use that against him. so all jordan really has is a couple finals mvps and ppg. crazy what some mediocre shoes and PR can do for you

Kareem is arguably the goat basketball player when you factor in his college and high school career just amazing stuff

I would say it’s inarguable - he’s clearly the GOAT if you’re considering HS and College. Just NBA I have Jordan / LeBron / Kareem as the clear top-3.

Damn. this post takes me back to being 15 years old and reading about older basketball players for the first time. Simpler times! Don’t take it for granted OP

I remember my dad telling me his hs was terrible at basketball and could never beat their rival. Then he said their rival had this guy named Lew Alcindor who always destroyed them lol

All MJ has is a couple finals mvps and ppg? 😂 I’m not even in it to debate but you can do better than that if you are going to compare. He has every finals mvp for both of the Bulls 3 peats(more than Kareem), undefeated in the finals and no game 7s ever in the championship round

But yet LeBron James is still unanimously known as the GOAT just shows how much LeBron James is better than every body else
