You might not like it, but this is the truth.

I witnessed Brady tho, Montana isn't the am. football GOAT

why do you always make shit threads like this?

4-0 is more impressive than 5-3 (incl. 18-1)

Ummmmmm last time I checked Patrick Laine is on the league

i have federer, pretty happy with that

Laver was better

>7 australian championships
>3 french championships
>8 wimbledon championships
>5 u.s. championships
>23 grand/pro slam championships
>triple career slam (one calendar slam in each age: amateur, professional, open)

>4 owls
>4 conference championships

>5 owls
>8 conference championships

...

also 200 singles titles

I saw montana. had a 9ers starter jacket. you're a faggot.

Do you know what the AT in GOAT stands for, you dumb mouth breathing fatass?

Montana made 4 superbowls. Only 4 in his entire career.

He posted tons of playoff losses in the early rounds constantly losing to other teams before even making the superbowl.

Brady became a fulltime starter in the 2001 season, he missed an entire season due to injury, and in his 17 years as a full time starter he's made the superbowl 8 of the years.

That's nearly half of the seasons of his career ending with him in the biggest game of the sport, and he's won 5 out of 8 of them.

So that's 8 conference championships, and of those 17 seasons as a full time starter, 12 of those the patriots ended up at the conference champion.

Over 2/3rds of Brady's career he made the conference championships in the seasons he's played. To say that isn't work of the GOAT is simply wrong.

Marciano was better than Mayweather

49-0 heavyweight > 50*-0 lightweight

* includes a fight against a man who only ever boxed once

stick to divegrass sonny

meme numbers, you're pulling straws here.
also, federer is gonna break the 200 single wins

It's not Rod Laver's fault that the amateur/professional/open era division happened during his peak. He still made the best out of it: literally won everything in all three ages

Federer is at 97 right now, he will never reach 200, he'll be lucky to make it to 110

Sampras, Nadal, Federer

pick one

ELITE FINNISH SNIPER

>Montana lost more earlier in the playoffs before the conference championship
>Lost as many conference championships as Tom Brady
>Won less conference championships than Tom Brady
>Won less superbowls than brady
>attended less superbowls
>was far less dominant than Brady

Definitely not the GOAT, Brady takes that spot.

you do know that Montana didn't play all those seasons you listed there, yes?

Out of those? Nadal has the highest strike rate, will in all likelihood pull a double career slam, maybe triple, and will probably make it to 23 slams

He has the potential to beat Laver

>Montana played less in total seasons
>even managed to have controversy during the time he played as who was the better starting QB, him or young

Brady didn't play in all the seasons I listed on the left either, and that season the patriots didn't make the championship game.

The image makes enough of a point though. Brady's had far more success than Montana did.

He won 1 more ring in 5 more seasons, and lost 3 more superbowls, including choking a perfect season against a wild card team

Laver and the likes' achievements were weird. Amateur slams weren't worth anything and pro slams only a bit more. Many of his 200 titles had less rounds than your today's regular tourneys.
If you want to be a patrician then have Pancho Gonzalez as your GOAT. 9 years of being #1.

but messi is the goat. you aren't the contrarian argie by any chance, are you?

What's his excuse for being so terrible at majors?

>Crosby
he's not even the best Penguin of all time
he's not even the best Penguin of now

Jordan was the hoops GOAT and I witnessed the fuck out of him.

>Crosby
>better than Gretzky
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Crosby's not even better than Ovechkin
>b-but mu Cups
Ovechkin can't help that the Caps are eternal chokers to the Penguins and Rags

>Ruth
Ruth was a fat smoker during an era where everyone else was a fast smoker. I'd like to see him hit some balls thrown by a Dominican who can throw 100+

*where everyone else was a fat smoker

Wrong except for maybe Ruth.
Wrong except for Brady and maybe Ruth

>Ovechkin can't help that the Caps are eternal chokers to the Penguins and Rags
I mean, he could if he was actually the GOAT

He made 4 more superbowls my white friend, he won 4 more conference championships my white friend, Brady won more.

The statement "Oh it's better to lose earlier in the playoffs than in the superbowl" is what fans of teams that always fucking lose tells themselves.

1983, Lost to the Redskins in the championship game

1985, Lost to the Giants 3-17 going one and done
1986, Lost to the Giants 3-49 going one and done, getting absolutely blown out (Note this has never happened to Brady)
1987 Lost to Minnesota 24-36 going one and done
1990 Lost to the Giants 13-15 in the championship game

91, 92, doesn't make playoffs due to injury

1993 Lost 13-30 to the Bills
1994 Lost 17-27 to the Miami Dolphins going one and done in the playoffs.

Joe Montana has 4 one and dones in the playoffs, 3 conference championship losses, and 4 superbowl wins

Tom Brady made the playoffs in 15 seasons
Joe Montana made the playoffs in 11 seasons

in those 11 playoff runs Joe Montana went 1 and done 4 times, and lost in the conference round 3 times, while winning the superbowl times.

In those 11 playoff runs Tom Brady went 1 and done only 2 times despite playing 4 more seasons, lost in the championship game 4 times which despite playing 4 more seasons he only lost 1 more championship game, and while playing 4 more seasons then Montana in the playoffs he's made the superbowl 4 more times, won 5 of them, and only lost 3.

Maybe if Joe Montana spent less time going one and done and more time winning he'd be the better player, but he isn't better than Brady in any way.

Brady also plays in a piss easy conference that has only been competitive for at most 4 teams at one time and his first 3 Owls were won by the skin of his teeth

Definition of GOAT is when the individual matters more than the team

I've witnessed Brady, Messi, LeBron, Bonds, Ilyin, Bjorndalen and Bjorgen, Bolt.

I've witnessed a lot of GOATs

by that logic Gretzky blows Crosby out of the water

>piss easy conference

I'd say the timeframe the AFC was the weakest was when Brady wasn't winning rings though, and I'm pretty sure the AFC has won more rings outside the patriots winning then the NFC did between 2000-2018

>Lebron is the hoops GOAT and I witnessing the fuck out of him.

Fix'd, also checked

> comparing players across a quarter of a decade
you're a fucking faggot

By that logic Crosby isn't even better than Lemieux

>2000 - AFC, Ravens
>2001 - Pats

>2017 - NFC
11 for the AFC, 6 if you take out the Pats
7 for the NFC
and the AFC only had FOUR teams win and those 4 are almost the only teams to make the Owl this century. The only NFC team with 2 Owl wins are the Giants

I watched Joe Montana, OP. So you're wrong.

Messi
Brady
LeBrown
Jeter
Federer
It's alright

Maybe the choke goat

how do you faggots possible defend brady not being a systembabby anymore
honestly if brady was anywhere near GOAT status, the Patriots would have ten rings

Do you know what the AT in GOAT stands for, you dumb mouth breathing fatass?

Correct list from sports I thoroughly know:

Accurate list

>Pele
He wasn't even the best player on that team

His "GOAT status" is the result of marketing

yes

I know this is bait but it still triggers me.

It's not bait. I unironically believe it.

How the fuck can the GOAT get 18-1'd?

Got to see Schumacher, Gretzky, and Jordan though. I'm pretty happy with that.

>90's had 3 GOAT's
>00's and 10's had 0 GOAT's
wtf

Tom Kristensen was the endurance racing goat, that's 2000s, as were Schumacher's most dominant years.

But I did user!

No but Neagu is the absolute GOAT this decade, only Mork and Gorbicz come close.

He isn't, Lemieux was the best of all time

Laver played before tennis became a real sport, Federer competes in the most competitive era, even Lave himself says Fed is the goat.
Admit it, you that butthurt argie from the /10/is thread, and you started this whole thread because of muh Federer is not greatest I hate him so much.
Enjoy Indian Wells

>Laver has 23 majors
You’re thinking about Rosewall.
>pro titles
>when the pro tours were all about the h2h
lmao

I saw Phil "The Power" Taylor, mate

What you fags have to understand is, is that back then the NFC was so much better than the AFC that losing in the NFC bracket was like losing to the already decided Superbowl champ. It was reversed in the 2000s with the AFC having much more talent so when Brady lost the owl he was losing to an inferior conference.

I witnessed brady federer jordan serena phelps bonds tyson mayweather and lebron. Its truly the age of goats. Take your contrarian opinions elsewhere

>4 is more than 5
Big if true

Only time he choked was 11. If he stays healyth hell post 40k 10k 10k career. With 3 or 4 rings on underdog teams. Hes the goat but im not mad at anyone who says jordan. 90s bulls were a spectacle

>choker
>b-but he doesn't choke
>has cakewalk thru east and has to play one decent team all playoffs in the finals and loses more times than not or needs Silver and the league to bail him out
L35ron the excuse thinker's goat, yall

>40k 10k 10k career
Stat padding pointless numbers. Why not get more chips, mvps, finals mvps, dpoy, scoring titles, ncaa titles.

Kek

I witnessed MSCWINSLOL.

Records are deceiving. Sugar Ray Leonard is better than them both

Lomu was a winger, no way the GOAT was a fuckin winger

cr7 ridicules anyone from the past with his achievements and career.

i saw montana. i'm old
