They say nothing is forever.
But that saying clearly doesn’t apply to the GOAT debate.
It’s a topic that’s discussed daily and will rage on forever.
The latest prominent name to chine in was Joel Embiid, and he had some very eyebrow-raising thoughts.
According to Embiid, the answer isn’t Jordan or LeBron.
Nope.
Embiid is going with a fellow big man.
“To me, you got Wilt Chamberlain,” Embiid said on The Ringer’s NBA Desktop.
"MJ is NOT the 🐐."—@JoelEmbiid

“I mean, he has all the records. They’re never gonna be beaten.
“I don’t see anybody getting 100 points in a game. That’s it. He’s the GOAT.”
Embiid’s overly simplistic logic is clearly flawed.
But he’s entitled to his incorrect opinion.
