Criteria - The athletes who could best use their physical abilities to win basketball games.
Here first names that come to mind for GOAT race:
Wilt Chamberlain
LeBron James
Michael Jordan
Shaquille O’Neil
Bill Russell
Zion Williamson
Vince Carter
Allen Iverson
Russell Westbrook
Julius Irving
I’ll make an example of Jericho Sims to show what I don’t want. He can touch the top of the back board but can’t get playing time. Why? Because he has no ability to apply that insane athleticism.
Some amount of skill is also indexed in this. If you are a hyper athletic guard, you need to be able to dribble the ball. It ranges from balance (lots of overlap) to hand-eye coordination (medium overlap) to a set jumper (no overlap).

Blake Griffin (even though I loved to hate him) would be up there on that list if not for injuries etc.
If Ja Morant can get his shit together and give us a few more years of what he’s already doing he will be on this list.
A big brodie fan, but there is no chance he should be on that list.
Really? Who’d you put over him?
Forgotten players like Gerald Green
