Flat out no. Just no. And how is it that Bird was considered the better player in their era but Magic's legend keeps growing while Bird's shrinks?

Russell (No. He was never even a finals MVP, despite 11 wins)
Hakeem (Really? No)
Shaq (No. free throws man, free throws)
Jabber (No. His teams didnt make the playoffs in back-to-back seasons during his prime)
Bron (Not yet)
Kobe (Just No. MVP just 1 time out of 20 years)
Duncan (went 11 years without an MVP recognition?)

Even Lebron agrees with Magic Johnson.

He constructed his "Mount Rushmore" of historical hoops greats. The quartet included Michael Jordan, Larry Bird, Magic Johnson and Oscar Robertson

So if Magic and Lebron both agree, pardon me if I take their word for it over yours

This is why I don't really like a greatest ever poll. When someone ask me who the greatest basketball player of all time is I think of the whole package. Shooting, ball handling, rebounding etc etc. How are you going to really compare Shaq to MJ or Russell to Kobe. Some were only inside players and had little game out of the paint while others such as Lebron, Kobe, and Bird among others could do it all.
