Past achievement is a great measure for success but people's varied definition of GOAT is something that you cannot argue with. I personally prefer LCW more but LD was undeniably the better one in terms of achievement. Nothing could tell me otherwise. People like you who criticize others for who they prefer is what's wrong in this world, have a great day buddy.

      "Lcw always choke in final doest matter who is his opponent"
      Thats not truth. Lcw was rank #1 or #2 since 2006 but his first final at worldchampion was in 2011. That mean he choke even in first round. How can you be Champion if he got that kind of weakness.
      At the end of the day, When lin dan won 5 WC and 2 Olympic compare to lcw 6 silver. A word "choke" doesn't explains it.

    Not only the home court advantage, look at LIN DAN's speed at game 2, is that a human? No, that's a beast!
    LEE lost four points in the same place four times when game 2. LIN DAN knew his weakness is backcourt forehand, so he targeted at it.
    Find opponent's weakness and aim at it, this is what we called "match".
    Besides, the gap between the two's physical fitness was also disparate, you can compare the arm muscle.
    Before the Olympic match, LEE was the second seed, and LIN was the one. Maybe at that moment LEE could defeat almost every Men's Single easily, but 2008 Beijing's LIN DAN was never on the list. 2012's LEE Chong Wei was regrettable, but 2008 he had 0% possibility to win. Maybe my words sound harsh, this is the fact.

    This may not be the most exciting game between the two. But it was definitely a game where Lin Dan was on full fire and exerted all his advantages to the extreme. After the last ball was returned to the net by the opponent. Lin Dan jumped excitedly into the air, lying on the ground and covering his face with his hands. Then tears filled his eyes. Facing the coach who came to congratulate with a smile on his face. He cried loudly like a child between Coach Tang Xianhu and Coach Li Yongbo. The loss of Athens, the pressure and doubts suffered for four years have dissipated at this moment. The preparation seemed to be slightly insufficient, and Li Zongwei, who was in poor condition, lost the game. Li Zongwei did not appear particularly sad. No gaffe. Instead, he politely smiled and shook hands with Lin Dan to congratulate him. Lin Dan also patted Li Zongwei with his hand to express comfort and encouragement. Maybe this is friendship

    这可能不是两人最精彩的一场比赛。但绝对是林丹火力全开,各项优势发挥到极致的比赛。在最后一个球对方回球下网后。林丹顿时激动的跳向半空,躺在地上后他双手掩面。随后泪水充斥了他的眼眶。面对喜笑颜开前来祝贺的教练。他像个孩子一样在汤仙虎教练和李永波教练之间大声哭泣。雅典的失利,四年来遭受的压力和质疑在此刻都消散了。而准备似乎略显不足,状态欠佳的李宗伟在输掉了比赛后。李宗伟没有表现的特别伤心。没有失态。而是很有礼貌的面带微笑向林丹握手表示祝贺。林丹也用手拍了一下李宗伟表示安慰和鼓励。或许这就是友情吧
