re: How can you justify saying Magic>Lebron?

I think LeBron's better overall, but a better passer? Magic averaged 11.19 APG, one of only two players in NBA history to average over 10 assits/game (Stockton is the other at 10.51). Magic is possibly the greatest point guard of all time.

LeBron averages 6.88 APG, 28th all-time. Of course, he's a better scorer and their rebounding averages are the same (7.2 RPG, though that's because neither had a decline phase, and LeBron has a pace argument).

Magic was pretty f'n great. That's not digging in heels, as I do think LeBron is better, but yes, Magic was a better point guard.

Magic was put on a Lakers team with outrageous talent all around him.

I'll give you that.

Lebron brought a crap Cavs team to the finals.

And got SWEPT. Not 4-1, or 4-2 or 4-3. SWEPT. Let that sink in. Also alot easier to get to the finals in a shitty eastern conference. A very weak Eastern Conference. But he made it. AND GOT SWEPT.

So, he goes to the heat, who by todays NBA standards are loaded with talent, yet Lebron is the GOAT for winning titles with a loaded team. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
