He did, but he did it before Jordan’s run. In these people’s eyes, because Jordan is the GOAT and didn’t win it 3 straight times, by voting someone 3 straight times it diminishes Jordan’s GOAT case so they don’t do it

I'm not a big basketball guy but people seem to get weird about who's the GOAT in basketball.

Basketball writers today were all certainly teenagers in the 90s. And, well, they wore these Nike shoes....

basketball as a sport is pretty racialized and very generational. almost uniquely useful to guise a larger conversation

Yeah , the way Caitlin Clark was treated by the players and the way the league and the fans responded was a shitshow on all sides. The only one that came out of it with any class was Clark.

And so did Russell and Kareem. But they were all pre-Jordan so they don't count.

I didn't know that. I'm not big basketball fan and grew up in Australia so I didn't see much basketball besides the Canberra Cannons on TV as a kid.
