Unlike the other great scorers, he doesn't have a signature move or shot. He just takes what the D gives him and scores. He can outmuscle opponents, drive to the hoop, play with his back to the rim or shoot 3's. He's adapted his game to the team's that he's been on. He took some truly putrid teams to the finals, like his first finals with Cleveland.
AND he's 4th all time in assists! Ahead of Steve Nash, Magic Johnson, Oscar Robertson, Isiah Thomas....
He's absolutely in the GOAT discussion.
