I see where your coming from bro but I shouldn't that be a positive for KAJ?? How many seasons MJ played like 13 or 14? N KAJ like 20? Idk man I value longevity :yeshrug:

longevity is cool but what MJ did is special

Yeah I think there is a legitimate argument for Kareem. I just think the NBA didn't want him as the face because of what he was involved in/his agenda (very pro black). I don't think MJ is the run away GOAT of the sport. This isn't hockey where I think it really isn't debatable.

Ima big MJ but I :patrice: at folks who say he's the undisputed goat like other guys don't have a claim to the throne. KAJ has the resume that's most comparable to MJ. He had the best money shot in the game in the Sky Hook. I think he's 2nd on the all time list

Well I think he deserved the 1980 FMVP but yeah Magic got the other 3

Cap should've won in 1980, he was dominating the series before his ankle injury and even so he made the game winning shot in game 5 and missed game 6 and we all know what happened.

Cap won finals MVP in 85 as a 35 year old man. Magic won in 82 and 87 and big game james won in 88

I always have kareem as GOAT period

Not only did kareem as a kid battle Wilt in some classic head to head battles

And won on every level, setting records

But unlike Mike, lebron and u kobe stans he risk his career on behalf of Ali and had to battle racism and death threats right in his face and still was able to go out there and dominate.

I recommend u guys to go buy his biography...

Lol isn't it the opposite?? well at least on defense but I do know big men depend on guards to get them the ball :ehh:
A perimeter player by virtue of handling the ball automatically holds more value, particularly at the end of close games. Even with a dominant big someone has to get him the rock.

I'd think hard about drafting LeBron over KAJ I think it's close

Shaq also but he fell off real bad in his later years
I can see Jordan over Kareem,Wilt obviously but LeBron?,Bird?,Magic? over Kareem Abdul Jabbar?Kareem was dominant on every level of basket he ever played.I know not many of us seen him play in college but those UCLA teams are legendary.
