Basketball is played around the world, but it is mostly played in America it is a competitive indoor sport that demands physicality, speed, strength, skills, and height. A lot of good players have stepped on the court and made a mark, on who is the GOAT among them. Below is the list of them. Lebron James, Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, Bill Russell, Shaquille O’Neal, Larry Bird, will chamberlain, kelvin garnet, jerry west, Stephen curry, dirk Nowitzki, Charles Barkley. Julius Erving, Willis Reed, Dwayne wade, David Robinson, kelvin Durant, Oscar Robertson, and Giannis Antetotumpo. But mostly the goat deliberation and speculation has been around these four great players Lebron James, Kobe Bryant, Michael Jordan, and Kareem Abdul jabber. These are players that have left marks on the court in the era they played, making the games competitive and exciting. During their time on the court, they won NBA championships, defensive player of the year (DPOY) multiple All-star appearances, scoring titles, and many more, but this is very difficult to conclude who is the greatest of all time (GOAT)  [ source](https://www.google.com/search?q=lebron+james&sxsrf=APq-WBu8XY5VoJSJWhWcdl9bqwzpx2qIyA:1649246370166&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwidtKnAsf_2AhXi_rsIHQVDDX4Q_AUoAXoECAIQAw&biw=1517&bih=772&dpr=0.9#imgrc=iLns3D38Let1cM) Lebron James was drafted to the NBA as the 1st pick of the overall draft in 2003 by the Cleveland Cavaliers, where he won the rookie of the year, he has made 18 times all-star appearances, six times captain of an all-star team, and has 37024 and counting, second in the list following Kareem Abdul Jabber, with a 10 times final appearance winning four and losing six, he has played for the Cleveland cavaliers Miami heat, and the Los Angeles Lakers but Lebron has proven himself times over and over again in the court.

We can argue back and front, then and now about who is the greatest player of all time, but truth be told all these players are great and amazing in their era, putting on a show daily on the court giving their all to the game, each of this players dominates in their era, I cannot relate to Kareem, Jordan, and Kobe era, But from the documentary, achievement, stats, and few clips I have a watched I can testify that these guys are great, but Lebron has made his marks in the game of basketball, from Cleveland to Miami and finally in Lakers. But four out of ten championships alone contradict everything. Six times championship in six appearances in a 3 times back to back win say it all. Lebron James of the Los Angeles Lakers has a championship of 40%, Kareem Abdul jabber of the Los Angeles Laker has a championship of 60%, Kobe Bryant of the Los Angeles Lakers has a championship of 71% While Michael Jordan of the Chicago bulls has a championship of 100% Arguably from statistics, Jordan has been the greatest player of all time.
