My GOAT is Kobe Bryant. Here is why:

Kobe Bryant had a mentality that was the closest one to Jordan's. He never gave up. He never was afraid of missing shots. He never was scared of defending the best player of the opponent team. He never thought stat padding and always concentrated to win.

Injuries were never an excuse for him. He played hard, gave whatever he got. When he lost, he accepted the failure. He never left his team and his teammates. Kobe always believed them.

They told he was a sidekick to Shaq. He didn't care and got more rings than Shaq at the end of the day. The press always against him and he always was ready to fight everyone.

Scoring titles or any other individual awards were never his aim. He was maybe the only player who always think to win, just win, after MJ.

Jordan got Pippen who is the most underrated player of the world and Rodman. Kobe, in his last 2 rings, was the only superstar in his team. I accept Pau Gasol was such an amazing player but wasn't a superstar when he joined Lakers. Kobe made him a star.

Kobe always battled against super teams like Boston, Spurs. When he lost, he never escaped and thought to join other teams to beat them like LEBRON.

Lebron is great, one of the greatest stars, I know. But there is something Kobe never did: Kobe never left his team to win trophies. Kobe played with bad players in his prime but he never complained! Lebron always tried to join other teams to win. I can't admit this.

I can understand if your Goat is Michael Jordan but if you say Lebron, I mean, come on man, he is running around to win titles. You can't be a goat like that! You can't get the all success, there was Kyrie, Wade and there is Anthony Davis (the current best big man) now.

My Goat list is:
1) Kobe
2) MJ

That's all.
