"When the legend becomes fact, print the legend." -Maxwell Scott, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance

Spoiler:




Round 1, Pick 5
Jesus of Nazareth


Was Jesus really the son of God? Did he even exist? Who gives a ****? You know what I do know? That no matter whether those things are true, the world counts fully 2.4 billion people as Christians today.

Jesus may or may not have existed, but even if he didn't, his legend has inspired more people to devote themselves to him, to literally believe he is both the son of God and the Word made flesh, than any other person in history. And even in our time, we've lived through a number of false prophets, from Charles Manson to L. Ron Hubbard to David Koresh to Tom Cruise. Do you think any of them could inspire the combination of worldwide and sustained devotion that The J.O.N. did? Hell no.

And I know you know that, in our skeptical world, barring some ''The Matrix is real and Neo has liberated us all" event, that nobody is ever going to approach that level of worship again, in breadth or depth.

So I give you, The GOAT at getting people to treat him like a literal god, now and in perpetuity.


Spoiler:
1. Kevin Durant: being a *****
2. Donald Bradman: cricket
3. Tom Cruise: being a movie star
4. Genghis Khan: all round great guy
5. Jesus of Nazareth: GOAT figure of worship

Next up, Eric's Untouchable Wood or whatever.

I take Aleksandr Karelin.

His career record was 887-2. He was undefeated for 13 straight years and literally did not have a point scored against him for 6 consecutive years.

1. Kevin Durant: being a *****
2. Donald Bradman: cricket
3. Tom Cruise: being a movie star
4. Genghis Khan: all round great guy
5. Jesus of Nazareth: GOAT figure of worship
6. Aleksandr Karelin: greco-roman wrestling

Anybody who has even a passing interest in how Khan did what he did and who hasn't listened to Dan Carlin's "Wrath of the Khans" series needs to do so immediately.

If someone is drafted in one category can we draft the same person in another category? For instance could I draft Durant as the GOAT Twitter multi-accounter?

While I appreciate CDL also wanting a piece of the GOAT, I feel incredibly cheated by that ruling.

Yeah seems bad, could someone then draft Genghis for some obscure category? I’m drafting the man with all his GOAT skills not just in one category

im going to preemptively draft that ruling as the GOAT commissioner blunder

He/she should have to be GOAT at two things and the write-up explicitly only mention one GOATish behaviour for that to be valid.
