In your personal opinion do you value dominance or do you value longevity? Do you value wins or do you value overall ability? Do you value a skill set or do you value well rounded?
I only bring this up because I was thinking about Tiger vs. Jack. I feel like I'm holding a double standard because I prefer Tiger as the Goat because of his dominance in his era. No one could touch him. But Jack probably played against a stronger field. Equipment argument is moot because each era had players playing with the same technology of their era.
Yet I hold Jordan as my GOAT, when he played against a less skilled era. Different rules. Lebron doesn't have as many championships but went up against one of the best dynasties in NBA history. His consecutive Finals run is nuts when you think about it. Also Lebron's era has had much better overall competition and parity than Jordan's era.
Then you have Ali vs Tyson/Mayweather/Sugar Ray, etc.
Jon Jones vs. GSP/Khabib/Fedor, etc.
Jerry Rice vs Moss
Brady vs. Montana
Bill Russell vs anyone
Just wondering where everyone here stands on how they value players in terms of GOAT rankings.
