Is Karaban the GOAT if he gets third chip?

[gtcam]

Not sure if he'd be the GOAT but he'd definitely be on the Mt Rushmore for the UConn men.

How many faces on your Mt Rushmore? Aside from being on a team that won x number of years and he was a starter (all really good things); in the history of UConn mens BB he isn't in the top 10 statistically and/or he hasn't shown that moxie/ability on the court to physically carry a team.
Great young man and a true asset to the program but Mt Rushmore? Nah

Fair point because frankly Ray Allen probably doesn’t make the UConn MBB Mt. Rushmore.

Kemba will always be the GOAT. His 11 game run is the stuff of Legends.

The number of titles is irrelevant. It's about the feat
Don't believe me? Just ask Makers Muppet

He wouldn’t even be the GOAT of UConn Powerforwards.

Shabazz or Kemba literally carried us to a crown in goat worthy runs. They obviously couldn’t do it without the entire team, but it also helps the teams confidence knowing they had the best player on the floor every night.

AK was a piece of very good overall teams. I’ll die on the hill that Newton would still be above AK even if AK won his third UNLESS Alex is our true and unarguable leader and go to guy this year and we win.

P.S. We are such a spoiled fan base. The fact that we can talk about these hypotheticals is truly insane. After 2018-2019 I had no idea if we’d ever win the natty ever again (AAC and Football ruling supreme in college sports —> Thought we were becoming mid-major).

Don't put the GOAT before the cart.

 

[VanDunk]

this is mojo carnage

 

[Scottzer]

A GOAT type has to be able to create his own shot, and utilize that skill when the shot clock is winding down. He’s just not that guy. Kemba, Bazz, Newton, Ben, Emeka, and Adama are all higher on the list in crunch time.

 

[2ndFlBelden]

Goat for one season would have to be Kemba, 2 Championships co-goats, Napier and Newton, if Karaban goes on to win 3rd would be list worthy.

 

[Mr. French]

nah.
