I think that there are 8 players in NBA history that you can make the argument for as the Greatest of All Time. LeBron James is one of them. In this video, I make the case.

Thank you so much for watching this video (and the others, if you have). So many of these comments are so funny and supportive of the video, series, and channel that it’s just surreal.
I did, however, make an oopsie and say that LeBron was drafted in 2004, when in fact, he was drafted in 2003!
Classic me.
Great series Clayton, and while I agree that Kobe Bryant doesn’t have a case for GOAT, do you not think that George Mikan has one? 5 time NBA champion, rule changes made in order to stop him, defining the role of the big man, and has the statistics to back him up. I would really be interested in hearing your opinion about it.
You should do julius erving
@@Mazzawak I know my opinion doesnt matter, I would disagree with Mikan on the grounds that the league is so fundamentally changed since Mikan it would be impossible to view him aw the greatest. Unlike Baseball where the statistics and measurement for greatness has remained virtually unchanged since Babe Ruth started slugging 1.250 and Ty Cobb reached 4,000 hits, basketballs standard for greatness has shifted so far from Mikan’s era and even the idea of dominance at the Center position was overtaken by the 3 guys Clayton profiled. From championships with Russell, to stats, accolades and longevity with Kareem to cultural impact with all the above for Jordan and LeBron, Mikan seems like an Oscar Robertson or Hakeem Olajuwon, certainly in the top 25 and you can make an argument for top 10 but doesn’t in my eyes fit GOAT but I’d have him in my top 20
What’s next for this channel? Obviously you’ve pointed out the 8 arguable GOATS in bball, but will you branch out of bball and make claims for GOATS in all other sports? I personally love this video series and want to see more!
Love you brother
This is the best video on youtube
This is easily the best video ever made Clayton
