How can open minded hockey fans debate this topic more openly without malice of any type, than the NBA debate?

It should be Kareem vs James

NBA is more popular and discussed in the US than the NHL.

Basketball is the sport that has the highest percentage of its fanbase that follow one player as opposed to one team. That plus the way the sport is marketed means individual players are discussed more often in basketball than any other sport (even football) here in America.

Hockey is probably fourth in terms of hierarchy in America.

1. NFL
2. NBA
3. MLB
4. NHL

Below that group is combat sports, soccer, etc.

Bobby Orr. Only defensemen in the history of the NHL to lead the NHL in scoring not just once, but twice. Maybe hockey fans have more common sense.

Maybe. I still think Wayne is greater but Orr was amazing. He's #2 for me. I know Grizz disagrees and he makes a great argument as he's more versed in the sport than I am, as are you.

The GOAT discussion in the States is much less prevalent for hockey than it is in basketball, football, and baseball.

That's all I am trying to say.

In today's game, the advantage the goaltenders and defensemen in gear and other facts. Advantage Orr.
