    Kareem Abdul Jabbar
    Kareem played 5 more seasons than Jordan and even then Jordan's season stats for the most part besides rebounds and blocks, Jordan lead in points, assists, steals, and 3 point %. So you cannot compare career stats when Jordan did not play as long. Compare season stats. Michael Jordan is the GOAT.

    Kareem took one three point shot in his entire career. And I think that was in an all star game.

    You gotta remember that the 3 point shot didn't exist in the NBA until after they merged with the ABA. The first 3 point shot was in 1979, 10 years into Kareem's career. And he was a center anyway, what would he look like taking a 3 point shot?

    Anyway, bottom line, Kareem is the all time point leader and nobody is coming close to breaking his record. There aren't any players in the league on track to break Kareem's all time scoring record.

    Kareem is great, he's in my top 3, but I have him behind MJ and Magic. With Mike being the GOAT.
