re: How can you justify saying Magic>Lebron?

To be fair here... Macig has NEVER had Aids.. He has HIV.... He had ZERO choice but to quit in the best interest of the rest of the players in the league... Was he stupid for contracting the virus??? SURE...

Thank you for addressing the important stuff and dodging everything else

fair enough, I'll rephrase. Didn't magic have to quit on his teammates when he contracted HIV through stupid and selfish life decisions? A previous poster apparently thinks 1 game on a sinking ship of a team has a larger affect than a career ending quit.


This is what I hate about these arguments. Magic was amazing, but everything about that era in basketball has been romanticized to a point nothing could live up to it. I see magic averaged 11-12 assists in his career and it blows my mind that that's even possible. And he was still able to score some. He was a remarkable talent/player and had an all time career. But to act like he's a above reproach seems silly. The old guard just champions their era of basketball like it wasn't often a hockey fight in the paint and a slow, boring free throw contest. Contrary to popular belief, the MJ/magic/bird era had its flaws and the stars got the calls back then, too. All MJ jock sniffers outta know that
