The fact that so many people won't even entertain the idea that maybe Jordan isn't the best ever says all you need to know about the ridiculous levels that people have propped him up to.
I don't have a problem with MJ being #1 on somebody's list. But I also don't have a problem with Kareem being #1 on somebody's list.
And I think that Lebron James is forcing his way into the discussion for potentially going down as the best player himself.
If somebody got kaj 1 I can respect that if they really watched him from the jump. His early years and prime were before my time though. I watched mj from the get go. College, olympics, beating the nba stars team, whole Chicago career, everything. He was that great. Just like I've watched Kobe and bron. They're not as good. I respect Kobe for being the competitor but mj was bigger, faster, stronger, better finisher etc. lebron has had too many small moments in his career. Even now Irving is the one with the cold blooded willingness to take the shots. Lebron don't even wanna shoot free throws mane.
