re: How can you justify saying Magic>Lebron?

Those are all great points, which I agree with. Very well said.

Unfortunately, I think older fans do have a sort of nostalgic effect where they refuse to accept this era can be as good or produce players as good. There is also an element of people who contend this era is better due to greater athletes, and shooters, evolved game and strategy. It's very difficult for most people to remove their biases and respect both in the same reverence.
