BSUTOP25

The GOAT of GOATs

Recommended Posts

Bill Russel is the only one of those three whose autobiography I would actually consider reading. 

Planning is an exercise of power, and in a modern state much real power is suffused with boredom. The agents of planning are usually boring; the planning process is boring; the implementation of plans is always boring. In a democracy boredom works for bureaucracies and corporations as smell works for skunk. It keeps danger away. Power does not have to be exercised behind the scenes. It can be open. The audience is asleep. The modern world is forged amidst our inattention.

Huh?  The Pocket Rocket, serious?  I mean yeah, he's got the cup hardware record locked down but he played in an era where the Canadiens dominated a small league.  Go to the record book and other than cup wins you gotta scroll down to find Henri's name in any other category.  GOAT ain't just about championships especially when it comes to team sports.  If titles are the measure then we have to throw Michael Phelps into the GOAT mix.

He was the best on the best team. He gets GOAT status with 11 rings.

Henri was damn good but he was named only once as a 1st team all-star and 2nd-team all-star 3 times over his 20 year career.  To be sure , one of the best players ever in the NHL but not a GOAT.

No clue who that is either. Kinda reminds me of a strange looking statue i saw in Portugal once:

I don’t know if you ever saw the story about the poor guy who carved that. It was really sad. Anyway, I know you can definitely make a great argument for Messi.  I’ve always been a Man U fan though and saw Christiano play at Old Trafford a couple times, so I’ve always leaned towards Ronaldo.

I heard something about the sculptor but haven't read the details.

That's awesome that you got to see him play there. Its always been a bucket list of mine to see Messi play at the Camp Nou but i fear I may have missed my chance. We had plans this year to go to Spain but theywere unfortunately canceled due to COVID and now who knows how much longer he'll play for Barca.

I hope you make it. Spain’s the first place we want to go once we can travel again.

Quoted for truth. I’m an Olympics fanatic. Phelps has more GOLD medals than the next closest Olympian has TOTAL medals. I’d bet my life that nobody will catch him, because if it happens it won’t be in my lifetime anyway. @halfmanhalfbronco might have my back on this.
