Simply The Best?

Shank makes his declaration:
CLEVELAND — LeBron James is the best basketball player of all time.

Wilt Chamberlain is second.

Michael Jordan is third.

There. That wasn’t so hard, was it?

This is just the opinion of one man who’s seen all the NBA stars who’ve played since 1962. I understand that GOAT discussions, like Mount Rushmore arguments, are a little tired these days, and much of the debate depends on how one frames the argument (estimable colleague Bob Ryan chooses to eliminate old-time centers from the discussion). So I’ll just tell you that LeBron is the best I have seen and this does not come lightly from one who grew up in a small New England town during an era when the Celtics were champions every spring.
I started to wonder what motivated Shank to write two columns on a Sunday, then I realized he's in Cleveland...

  1. being in Cleveland he will say they suck and say the Celts will win this series but then flip flop and state that the Cavs are just better due to LeBron
