Our hyper sports dialogue is being dominated by people who don't have much perspective apart from what's in front of them because they've been on earth for 2 minutes.

8 years ago Mac said Fed is the GOAT and no one will ever touch him.


Now it's Nadal b/c he beat Fed a few times...

Before that Navratilova in womens, then Graf...now it's Serena.

It's always going to be the new thing...because that's what we are witnessing...ergo on this LeBron GOAT junk and before that Kobe GOAT...shite, Jordan had barely retired before the Kobe fan adolescents started pushing him.

Out of sight, out of mind...players from the past. We want to believe what we're seeing now is the best ever...hubris.

Your argument sucks.

Andy Roddick came after Pete Sampras. Nobody said Roddick was the greatest. You know why? Because he wasn't the greatest.
