Kobe Bryant, LeBron James, and Michael Jordan have already cemented their place in NBA history, with all three widely regarded as basketball legends, particularly after being named to the NBA 75. As a result, when the GOAT debate comes up, exhaustive comparisons between them are unavoidable.
NBA fans may disagree on who the greatest player of all time is, but they can all agree that Jordan, Kobe, and LeBron are three of the best.
All three superstars have had postseason success and have a combined total of 15 championships. With so many factors to consider- not just statistics per game, but also important to the team, championships won, records set, and so on- determining who is the best has been a difficult and sometimes heated endeavor.
Each player has supporters (some of whom are rabid), and while they may never agree, there are some statistics that must be considered.
