I don't do stats.

Those can mislead in hindsight.

I was there - lived it. Those 80's Lakers teams.

Magic carried Kareem - like Worthy. Magic was just so smart...he kept everyone included and feeling wanted and special. Those Lakers teams (which I lived and died with) weren't the greatest collection despite having some famous names...Magic made all those teams. It was obvious at the time.

You had to be there and watch it.

That's kinda what tells you how good and productive and efficient a guy was, not the eye test.

Like I said, you keep emphasizing these things Magic did insinuating that it separates him from Lebron, but Lebron does these same things.

Same as above, you ever see the stuff Lebron's Miami and Cleveland teammates have said of him?

Mike Brown/Spoelstra vs Pat Riley?

So, it's Spo and not all Lebron that makes this Heat team?


I guess I don't really get your arguments, like at all. It's just generic stuff you apply to Magic that Lebron has shown as well, but you're saying he hasn't.

I'm not doubting you at all with these assertions. I've seen a lot more Lebron than Magic. And I think they're both amazing and transcendent players. But I also feel Lebron has done the same thing with his teams. Either through carrying them to a title, or carrying a lackluster roster deep into the playoffs

Respect earned by PJ... At least YOU SAW what happened back then... Most on here weren't even born... They have NO CLUE how much punishment Bron would go through back in those days,... He cries like a bitch now with someone just touching him......... Back then Laimbeer would put him on his arse and say "get up dude" Rodman would eat Bron Alive.........

Youve got it backwards actually. Stats tell the story. Your eyetest and memories will definitely mislead in hindsight
