Thread: Just finished the GOAT Debate article. Here is the link: https://theracket.home.blog/2020/05/12/6500-words-on-the-g-o-a-t-debate/
I really appreciate everyone who contributed a stat, it helped me write this very much. I’m going to tag everyone who gave a stat, both out of thanks and so that you’ll see the end product.
A couple words of warning: this is not the best writing I’ve ever done. The article starts out as, essentially, a list of each player’s best accomplishments, then the largest holes in their CVs. I go on to make a case for and against each player, then delve into a series...
...of opinions about the comparative strength of their careers and a couple projections for the future. Since this is such an important debate to many and my writing is a bit sloppy in areas, I’m guessing not everyone is going to like parts/all of the article. Regardless...
...I’d like to know what everyone thinks. This is a long article, so if you have criticism, don’t pull any punches, I realize that there are going to be parts of this article that you don’t agree with or don’t like. Again, thanks for contributing stats, it made my life...
...much easier when writing this. As always, if you have a request for an article, let me know and I’ll do my best to make it happen. I understand that I probably did not meet everyone’s expectations/wants for this article, and I apologize if something you wanted...
...to read was left out. Finally, thanks to @Big3Tennis, for tweeting stats that were easy to verify and use. They recently made a podcast making claims for each of the Big 3 for GOAT, and please know I did not intend to copy the format and did my best to diversify my article...
...from the podcast (which is excellent). Again, thanks to everyone who commented a stat, and I really hope you enjoy the article (sorry it took so long to finish).
