Live broadcast, January 25 news recently, Heat president Pat Riley talked about the best player in history in his mind when interviewed by ESPN.
Riley said: “I always say that Jabbar is the greatest player in history because his peak period is very long. He is unique. He can always maintain a high level. He plays 80 games a season. He often encounters bag clip for two or three people, but he has a kind of mental tenacity.”
“I put Michael Jordan on this list, but Jabbar was the greatest player at that time. He still maintained a high level of performance in his 30 s and 40 s.” Riley said.
“Without the greatest players in history and the best weapons in history, we would not have won the championship (referring to the Lakers period). The sky hook is unstoppable. In the final competition, only one person will win. Jabbar is definitely that person, and he will always be that person (here refers to GOAT).” Riley said.
