There's a great /r/nba thread[0] on this post too, for those looking to see comments from an NBA community perspective.
My couple notes on this post:
1) > For the past 20 years, I’ve occupied myself with social activism, my writing career
Kareem is incredibly good at writing, and with the focus of his writing career, which is something that's rare. Many famous people spout opinions, but him putting a label of "writing career" is really cool to see.
2) It's hard to imaging, going back in time to when LeBron was in high school with his games being played on national tv already, and him still blowing all those expectations out of the water. Absurd how someone can do that.
3) When people talk about GOATs, it'll be interesting to see how much the perspective changes in terms of time frames. LeBron still being one of the best after multiple decades without sustaining injuries is incredibly impressive, and I think people will more and more start to consider high quality play over time just as important in determining who is the best as they do with an few year hot streak.
