I was listening to a hockey podcast and the hosts were saying that Connor McDavid I will be the best hockey player ever. Then the question came up what if he never wins a championship?
In team sports I do think you can have a GOAT or hall of fame type career but never win it all because somethings you just can’t control. Tom Brady doesn’t play defense or special teams but he’s got two championships directly related to those units performing or making a huge play (Malcom Butler). When people see greatness you just know. I think of players like Calvin Johnson, Barry Sanders, and Dan Marino clearly GOATS but no championship.
Stackers what do you think? Can you be great without ever winning a championship?
