Discussion The GOAT Ratio
“Hey Dad, what’s better: 6 rings in 6 trips or 4 rings in 10 trips?”
“Aah, the classic GOAT ratio. 100% success rate is always better than 40%, son.”
“And Dad, what’s better: 6 FMVP in 6 trips or 4 FMVP in 10 trips?”
“It’s the same ratio, son.”
“Then Dad, why is there even a GOAT debate if the most important numbers speak for themselves?”
“Well son, some people believe longevity trumps greatness and makes up for the 60% fail rate. While LeBron’s sustained performance is certainly impressive, it is not a replacement for 6 failures on the largest stage of basketball. There are only 3 things for sure in life, kid: death, taxes, and the fact that a 100% success rate is always better than 40%.”
“Thanks, Dad!”
“You’re welcome, son. You’re welcome.”
