Michael Jordan, Kevin McHale, Robert Parrish, Lebron James, Hakeem, and finally Gary Payton would like a word with you Pooh.

[Axl Rose]

i didnt say he was THE GOAT defender

i said A GOAT defender...meaning hes up there with the greats defensively

How can you have multiple greatest of all-time??


EDIT: I don't even know how you pluralize that.

yall are acting like me saying he's up there with the greats defensively is out of the world

hes got the resume

 

[Crystallas]

GOAT = Greatest of all time

Greatest used to mean only one, when used for a person and not a sum. Greater, better, great, not greatest, or best.

Did enough people fail to use their own language correctly to push major dictionaries to change the meaning?

I just gave you six elite defenders, all better than Wallace. Shit, I'd be tempted to say Rasheed, Buck Williams, Malone, Barkley, Garnett, Duncan, and Bruce Bowen are better than Ben Wallace.

Hell, five of the names I've given you are contemporaries of Ben Wallace.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Steve Nash has an MVP (maybe even 2 of them - I don't care to look him up), sometimes awards don't mean shit.

 

[Axl Rose]

dont cling to the word GOAT....yall know what i was trying to say.....i even explained what i meant

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

And surprisingly, still wrong.
