After seeing these video clips of NBA and Football fake injuries and Embarrassing Stupid Flops of all time. I came up with a conclusion of comparing the GOAT players to other Goat players of different sports. What makes it so interesting is that in involves great players like Cristiano Ronaldo, Neymar Jr, Kobe Bryant and Lebron James.
This recent year and last years Draft, Player Trade and GOAT debate. I consider Lebron at par if not exceed Kobe or MJ. But when I saw this image of Basketball network on Ex Bull's General Manager Jerry Krause statement reminds me of who is the real GOAT is. As he takes on MJ's willingness to win in every NBA game. I can say Its like watching the best concert on his every NBA game. He never came to Jerry and asked for other players.
So you understand that its a numbers game. And how much are fans willing to pay or support for them to win? What fans profit can result can trade, buy in to add value to its sports team based on its demographics? Location and target market? Number of paying fan-base, advertisers and so on and so forth.

Jordan never came to Jerry and asked me to draft a player. MJ Never came to Jerry and asked to trade for a player. Never once did that happen. Part of it was he thought he was so darn good he could win without ’em. So no matter who would you put to play with him Im sure he will trick and did all his best to win it.
Jordan is so addicted to winning, in golf and different sports. He even used to used bet $100K on rock, paper, scissors hand game Imagine that? He likes to win both offline, casino and online betting games. But the good thing about him is that I never saw him fake a foul or injury, did an embarrassing flops - no excuses flu game.
In boxing or MMA you pretend that your not hurt, when almost injured or dying until the ref stop the fight. You keep on fighting till the end, In golf Champ ignore torn ligament or broken knee just to finish the game. Even in Racing Champ ignore internal bleeding till checkered flag. For NBA/Soccer players Goats camera doesn't lie you just enlist yourself in the lifetime wall of shame.
After watching several Russian World Cup 2018, Boxing and NBA highlights nowadays. It made me realized that winning nowadays is all about money. Its all about super teams. Now I understand why Neymar and Lebron faked its injury. They don't wanted to be guarded or touch by the best defensive player.
Another great strategy for foul, for the that great unwanted attacked, to penetrate then score and then win. They just like to win and dont care about what the true baler fans will have to say later. Because If they have money they will have high valued ticket gates, PPV and endorsements will over-follow anywhere.
So you would understand its dynamics and sports economics that its the fan that made them a highest paid pro. Another sport meme is that an NBA super-team salary is only equivalent to 1 football superstar year salary. So its really the math and population of fans made the figures.
I know understand why they want to create a super team. Why not be loyal like Dirk Nowitzki who stayed in Dallas for 2 decades and Kobe Bryant who stayed in Lakers for 2 decades did as well? Because they wanted to win and to protect that inning streak as well.
They are now talking about its dynamics such as max contract, max offer, trade in, super team and so on and so forth. Now I see that they don't wanted to loose. Same with the boxers and football players of today's era.
Its all about winning, in the great team and being undefeated. So when can you say its not about money? Its just purely about money, love of the sport and the love to win - for the win.
