Especially the way the game is played today. He'd average 30 easy because of how much the 3pt shot is utilized today. You had Dirk's soft ass averaging 25/9 in his prime.We're 2 years removed from Kevin Love putting up 26 & 13, but Larry Legend wouldn't do work today?

Dwight Howard

so does defense matter or not? cause if so I dont see how anyone could pick Bird over Kobe. Kobe played at a high level on both sides of the ball, was a better scorer than Larry, has more rings than Larry...Larry got more boards cause he's a 6'9 PF. I'll give him him assist, but as we've seen its not like Kobe couldnt facilitate at a high level, I mean he did last year and thats not even his prime. How the hell is Larry better? To me its ridiculous considering the defensive gap between Bird and Kobe. Kobe was a lockdown defender in his prime. and Dr. J being top 3 is just laughable. nikka not even top 10.
Jordan, Kareem, Kobe, Magic, Bird, Duncan, Russell, Shaq, LeBron, Hakeem
my top 10 in no order...now which one of them arent better than Dr. J..i'll wait

Lol wut? Only two dudes I haven't seen play was Wilt and and Russell. They have this new thing called YouTube and you can catch all the old games
I'm 27 and saw most of those dudes play with my own eyes. I'm also from Boston so all the Lakers/Celtics classic games have been watched numerous times.
I call him soft because you used to be able to put 6'6-6'8 swingmen on him and they'd SHUT HIM DOWN

Man....it's getting worse and worse. Some of the younger generation are being stupid on purpose. Theres no more good debates, older heads fall for the bait everytime.

You can tell the 80's and 90's babies apart. Tony Parker? Hahahaha
there's never been any good debates as far as sports is concerned
I'm actually kind of flabbergasted. I regard you as a sensible voice, and I'm not trying to put you down or get into some petty back and forth or anything like that. But damn, you are really disrespecting the shyt out of Dr. J. Dr. J's NBA career doesn't leap of the page? It's fair to compare him to Vince fukking Carter?
You can't point out that he played with better teammates than Vince without acknowledging that he played against more complete teams as well. And that he took a team to an NBA championship. And on multiple deep playoff runs. And that he made 5 All-NBA first teams and two seconds. And that he won an MVP award. He also finished second, third, and fifth twice in MVP voting.
Vince Carter had 3 playoff runs during which he shot under 40% from the field, and one in which he shot 29% on 10 shots a game.
Vince Carter has never made an All-NBA first team. He has made 1 second team and one third. Vince Carter never finished higher than 10th in MVP voting.
Dr. J's numbers - even excluding his ABA years - are better than Vince Carters, he's better by just about every advanced stat too, his teams had great success to which he directly contributed, and he was by far a better defender. There really is no comparison other than the fact that both are 6'6 scorers who revolutionized dunking. Vince Carter simply doesn't merit that level of comparison.
I tap outta this convo...that was a bad argument, lol.
