Is the pretty clear line in the sand that you can't find anyone to back you up?You’ve a clear bias to yesteryear and I’ve a clear bias to the modern era.
Pretty clear line in the sand here - we can put to bed whatever debate we have and leave it and that.
I genuinely cannot believe anyone would suggest Pele or Maradona would be anywhere near GOAT talks, but that is absolutely a symptom of our individual biases. Jordan vs LeBron is different to Wilt or KAJ.
The point on Bradman is a good one, I still disagree that Matthews would’ve scaled to the ability of the modern game and been as far ahead today as he was then, but I do also take the point many have made that being that far ahead during an era is a pretty good measure for your standing in the game.
