You're not even old enough to have watched him play for the Wizards.

1) we tend to discriminate against women athletes ... just part of being a guy ...
2) serena's latest run should place her firmly in consideration of goat at tennis, regardless of gender ...

i bow to your knowledge of hockey and its technology ... i regret any insinuation that your knowledge of hockey was insufficient to participate in this discussion, and undertake to never imply any negative connotation to your hockey expertise ...

Its like not even the same game. Kind of dumb to call Serena the GOAT of all tennis if she couldn't beat the best men.

You admitted you don't know hockey but talk out of your arse anyway. You get called on it, and now you're butthurt.

When you said "I don't know hockey, but..." and proceeded to make an untrue statement.

As if marketing is the only reason he's considered GOAT


It's the only reason that so many people think it's not debatable. His stats are as good as a handful of other people in the sport (russell, wilt, magic) but not definitively better.

If you're talking numbers throughout an entire career, only Wilt and Kareem have an argument.

10-23 v Nadal and 20-20 v Djokovic. How can you be GOAT if you don't have winning records versus your chief rivals?

I'll thrown in for The Great One as GOAT of GOATs.

No. She would have to be able to beat the GOAT Man consistently for that to be true and that would never happen.
GOAT Women's tennis? Sure.
Regardless of gender? Laughable.
