What is he missing to be considered GOAT material?

Kobe

a shirt made of lebrons skin

sustainable play at a high level

many players have come and gone with a few good seasons and a championship. the GOATs play like that for 10+ years with multiple 'ships

also his team is a meme so that doesn't help
>>

style, all the greats had style and were larger than life on and off the field/court. he seems like to much of a nerd/normal guy

who is Tim Duncan

He only appeals to teens

GOAT defense and sustainability

To be considered GOAT, you have to dominate both ends for at least most of your career start to finish and win multiple titles.

MJ , KAJ, Wilt = All arguably the true GOAT because criteria mentioned above apply to all 3.

Magic and Bird = Honorable mention GOATs. Both sputtered at the end of their careers. Magic never dominated defensively, Bird struggled with injuries.

No one has dominated both ends of the game like and since Jordan, Kareem and Wilt.

This 100%, asides from Magic everyone in the top 15 players of all time was an above average defender
>>
>>63949126
He's a good defender.

Being a good team defender > being a good 1 on 1 defender

Wilt didn't give a fuck about defense most of his career

The ability to dunk.

Can't play jiggaboo jam without the jammin'

I don't think anyone will ever surpass Jordan and Curry is already 27

He'll be remembered as the greatest shooter, but not as the GOAT

He's also got >only 9k points at 27 years old but he'll shatter every 3pt record

>>63949437
need some rim rippin' with that toe tippin'

>I don't think anyone will ever surpass Jordan and Curry is already 27
To be fair, Jordan did not win a championship until he was 28 so Curry is ahead in that department.

Still, anyone who thinks Curry has a chance of becoming the GOAT is a huge memer.
>>
>>63949094
This pretty much, longevity separates GOAT tier from really good. He has the tools, now to see if he can sustain it and keep adapting to what the game throws at him in years to come.

>b-b-but he can't defend

This is how you out yourself as a true pleb

hardly. he spent the majority of his life in america, and invented the sport while in america.
