Stats don't tell the story.

Winning tells the story.

People thought Magic couldn't dominate...but in some playoff games where his teammates were shitting the bed - Magic took over and scored 40+.

Magic wasn't just about distribution - he distributed to include everyone and give confidence and form a team. But he could have - and sometimes did - take over...ala MJ.

Stats are a joke...especially for a player like Magic.

Neither does the eye test.

It tells the story if you're judging teams, yes. Not individuals. Not when Magic gets drafted by a team that won more games the previous season than Lebron's team did the previous 2 seasons combined. Not when Lebron played 7 seasons and the best player he played with was Mo Williams compared to what

Magic was able to surround himself with.

I'm sounding like a broken record, but yet again, this is stuff you're assigning to Magic that Lebron absolutely does as well, no one would disagree with that.

Not as much as the 30 year old eye test.

1. Bill Russel-11
2. Sam Jones- 10
3. Tom Heinsohn-8
3. Tom Sanders-8
3. KC Jones-8
3. John Havelick-8
7. Jim Loscutoff-7
7. Frank Ramsey-7
7. Robert Horry-7
10. Bob Cousy-6
10. Kareem Abdul Jabar-6
10. Michael Jordan-6
10. Scottie Pippen-6

i love how you act like he never lost. I think Magic-led teams lost 4 Finals and 2-3 other early exits in the playoffs
