He'll never be on an All NBA Defensive Team but his D is getting better.
I think he needs to end up at 1 or 2 on the All Time Scoring List and win at least 2 Championships to be in the GOAT talks along with Jordan and Lebron.
If he stays healthy and plays another 14 seasons (Age 38) I can see him being top 2 or 3 on the All Time Scoring lists. Lebron will pass Kareem within the next year, so who knows how long he'll play and what his end number will be.
Kareem played until age 42 but didnt start in the NBA until age 23. Luka already has 8,000 points at age 23. Kareem "only" scored 4,600 points after the age of 38 (4 seasons). If Luka keeps up his pace he'll pass Kareem.
