Kareem blew it for me when his family lost in Family Feud. GOAT at basketball but can't win a simple gameshow? I don't think so.

Now I know what you're thinking: that Family Feud game happened when he was way past his prime, so it shouldn't count. But that's not why he lost; he lost because the game has simply passed him up. I don't think even prime Kareem would have been able to hang with today's families. When you're talking GOAT, you've got to account for the differences between eras and his was simply less demanding.

Edit: That said, it was great to see one of the greats at it again and he has nothing to be ashamed of having his family give it their all on national TV like that.
