NBA Mount Rushmore: Jordan vs. LeBron & The Greatest Players We Actually Saw

Who is the real NBA GOAT? In Episode 7 of Beat the Best, we settle the NBA Mount Rushmore debate once and for all with a massive twist: The Witness Rule. We aren’t ranking players based on box scores from the 1960s. If you didn’t see them play in their prime with your own eyes, they don't count.


Host Betamax84 sits down with Sean Watkins, Catfish Jean, and Doctor Ntoya to rank the greatest basketball players of the modern era. From Michael Jordan and LeBron James to the "unstop-ability" of Shaquille O'Neal and the gravity of Stephen Curry, we break down the players who defined the game during our lifetime.


In this episode, we debate:

•

The MJ Omission: Why Catfish Jean puts LeBron James at #1 and leaves Michael Jordan off the mountain entirely.

•

The Laker Legends: Why Dr. Ntoya claims Magic Johnson and Larry Bird revolutionized the game more than any modern star.

•

The Steph Curry Revolution: Did Curry change the game more than the "Assassins" of the 90s?

•

The Power Forward Battle: Why Tim Duncan’s 5 rings often get overlooked for "flashier" stars like Kobe Bryant.


Whether you're a student of the Mamba Mentality or a believer in King James, this episode is an unfiltered look at basketball greatness through the "Eye Test."
