Get a clue. There were less teams then thus each team had a deeper squad.

You are the same person who would say that Mike Tyson fought better fighters than Ali.

No question Jordan was great but he is a media darling. ]]> Wed, 12 Nov 2008 00:04:15 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment404297

Again you are underselling the role players Jordan had. The media has seduced you into thinking that Jordan alone was the Bulls. That's a bunch of garbage. And you can't tell me players stunk back then and than argue that Russel wasn't the catalyst to the 11 Titles!

You also need a trip to the Basketball Hall of Fame.

Oh and look at your list of great opponents Jordan played against. Notice none of them were guards? What great nemesis did Jordan face one on one?]]> Mon, 09 Jun 2008 04:48:25 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment160564 ]]> Sun, 08 Jun 2008 01:52:34 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment160380
Plus the Bulls made ot to the Eastern Conference Finals without Jordan and lost in GAME 7 with seconds left to the Knicks! And made it to the 2nd round the year after with Jordan's return.

It was a shame we didn't see what Len could have done.]]> Sat, 07 Jun 2008 19:48:14 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment159915 ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:54:48 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment159910 ]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 19:43:06 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment159504
But I will never forget what MAgic did to my 1980 76ers!

Some also say Bird should be considered because he ranks in the top 20 of a lot of major stats for his career. But again Wilt did it all except foul shooting.]]> Fri, 06 Jun 2008 01:10:42 PST http://www.sportales.com/Basketball/The-Greatest-NBA-Player-Ever.123208#comment159461
But my vote will always go to Magic. Not because of stats, but he is still the ONLY NBA player that I've ever seen that could play all 5 positions, both defensively and offensively, as if it were his primary position. I cannot think of another player with that ability. I feel that this makes him the best overall player of all time. I think more people would see it this way if his career wasn't cut short.

I see Wilt as the most dominate of all time, and MJ as one of the most exciting, but Magic mostly played point guard at 6'9", and he was voted the best point guard of all time last year by ESPN! How many 6'9" point guards have there ever been in the NBA? I can think of only one. And again, how many players could/can play all 5 positions, and be very good at each?]]> Thu, 05 Jun 2008 22:45:56 PST
