cId,
<< I would probably rule it out. First, with Jordon, even if he'd had a better supporting cast early on, he'd have had the competition of the Kareem/Magic Lakers, the Bird/McKale/Parish Celtics, and the Pistons at their peak. Jordon's Bull benefited from the lessened competition in the 90's. >>
Very good analyses and I agree, even though Michael was one of the greats.
<< A Larry Bird or Magic make players around them better. Kobe doesn't. >>
Agreed also on Bird and Magic. I haven't seen enough Kobe to comment.
Again, after watching Iverson just get better and better. I still have a few misgivings. I cheered the draft choice, but hoped he could complement Stachouse. He couldn't. What he has done is lifted a team that thrives, when healthy, on him putting the ball in the air, whether he hits it or not.
Kareem? Ya mean Lew?
<< record is comparable to Russell's >>
Comporable.
<< was the all-time leading scorer in the NBA >>
Was? Before him was Wilt and Elgin, and after was Michael. Don't think he is in all time top 10 is he?
My all time, all around still Elgin, and best to watch was Hondo.
