A. ” I think it should make him the goat because of all his accomplishments and all of the people he has beat , especially the comeback in the playoffs when he was down 3-1 to the warriors. Also all these accomplishment that he has over Michael Jordan other than rings should make him the greatest of all time. I was very surprised to see him beat Kareem’s record and I feel like no one will beat his record in the history of the NBA”.
