Really depends on how well he performs once he comes back tbh

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.

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.
