ESPN turned Alex Ovechkin’s scoring record into an NBA GOAT debate because of course it did

Alex Ovechkin breaking Wayne Gretzky's NHL all-time goals record is one of those hallowed sports marks we could truly never stop talking about. Evidently, for ESPN's First Take, it seems like Ovechkin putting himself on top of hockey history was merely an excuse to have the same tired NBA GOAT debate it's seemingly been having in every other segment for years.

On Monday, First Take was joined by former Norris Trophy winner and three-time NHL All-Star P.K. Subban.

Subban was there, presumably, under the guise of talking about Ovechkin's remarkable achievement.
