BunnysBastatrds 1,955 Posted May 18, 2018 Never really tried till the playoffs. Jordan hustled both sides of the ball all year. Only player to win offense and defense player of the year in the same year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KSB2424 3,087 Posted May 18, 2018 The centers are so tough. Kareem, Russell, Wilt, Shaq, Hakeem Wilt and Shaq were most dominant. Bill has all the rings. Kareem all the records. And Hakeem may have been the most skilled of them all. Tough, especially since most of us, save for drobeski, never saw Wilt and Russell. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mike Honcho 4,154 Posted May 18, 2018 ESPN has him #2(I have him #1, but I'm biased as a Bucks fan), but one stat stood out to me. The NBA's all-time leader in MVP awards, points and Win Shares. Abdul-Jabbar owns three of the top six seasons of all time in terms of Win Shares, including his 1971-72 season in which he averaged 34.8 points and 16.6 rebounds. Even if you counted only his six seasons before joining the Lakers, Abdul-Jabbar would still rank among the top 50 in NBA history in Win Shares. And then there is this...

listen2me 23 1,583 Posted May 18, 2018 Lebron isnt anywhere close to the competitor MJ was. Great player. Physical freak. Front runner. But not near the competitor MJ was. But no one is. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Strike 4,097 Posted May 18, 2018 Lebron isnt anywhere close to the competitor MJ was. Great player. Physical freak. Front runner. But not near the competitor MJ was. But no one is. I also wonder how effective Lebron would have been in an era where defensive players were actually allowed to touch and harass you. I question Lebron's toughness if had to take the beating guys did back in those days when they took it to the hole. He still would have been a great player but not sure he'd be the player he is in today's NBA. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BunnysBastatrds 1,955 Posted May 19, 2018 Michael Jordan and Scottie Pippen, the ultimate of ultimate duos. Also, probably the worst two tippers in NBA history One of my favorite stories about Jordan. He was in a hotel elevator with Eddie Murphy in Vegas. They get in the elavtor and there's this little old lady from Iowa holding a bucket of quarters and is nervous as fawk standing there with them. Tiny old white broad who didn't recognize either of them. So the elevator sat still for a minute and Jordan says "Hit It!! The old woman drops her quarters and panicked for her life. She thought two black men were going to rape and steal her money. Jordan and Eddie laughed so hard as they helped her up. They ended up sending her a dozen roses with a hundred dollar bill on each rose with the card reading" Thanks for the laugh." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
