What i mean is someone that is an incredible player that’s very popular and has won a ton of awards but hasn’t been able to win a championship.

    No one. Ohtani has an argument for GOAT. No one currently in the NBA, at that young age, has a case. The closest is Luka, Jokic or Giannis, and that’s if they start/continue winning.

      Wemby has a chance, I get wanting to act all cautious like we have to see him play in the league blah blah, but the only way you’d reach the impact that Ohtani has is with freak outlier physical gifts like wemby. So healthy best case scenario wemby if he wins multiple chips and racks up some mvps and dpoys.

      Winning takes them further away to an ohtani comparison, not closer

        No that’s not the point. The GOAT is perceived differently in MLB than it is in the NBA. You don’t necessarily need wins in order to get into the GOAT discussion in baseball, mainly due to how much less of an impact a single player has on a baseball team. It’s more about how individually great the player is. Whereas in the NBA, there’s a lot more team success needed in a GOAT debate, due to how much an individual can impact the game. So my point is about how Giannis/Jokic/Luka compares to Ohtani. Even if Ohtani doesn’t win a World Series, he’ll go down as one of the top tier GOATs in baseball. The same can’t be said for the basketball trio. They need to win in order to be a top tier GOAT.
