The thing that makes OV hard to rank is his longevity. Wasn't ever as dominant as most of the other guys you'd put in the top 10 (which feels mildly absurd to say about a guy who was top goal scorer 9 different times, but we're talking GOATs here) but he was an excellent player for a long time, and a very good one for a long time after that. None of the other greats held the bar as high as he did for as long as he did.

Wasn’t as dominant? 

What the hell am I reading. 

Dude is the all time goals leader and has 9 rocket trophies including a stretch where he won it 7/8 years 

How can you  dominate more than that ?

Yeah I would argue that it is the longevity but more that people forget just how dominant he was because he is still around and not playing nearly at that level. He is like the Rolling Stones - still around but not making albums like at their peak.
