Shaq was an unstoppable machine and Kobe won 2 rings with a cast of cardboard cutouts. Jordan was 50% legit and 50% marketing. Think about that and let it settle in. Jordan isn't the greatest of all time. He's maybe top 10.

Kareem Abdul Jabbar was objectively better by many metrics and his movies were way cooler. Jordan is the pick of losers with no taste and idiots from Chicago.

Comparing bigs vs guards is a mug's game.

I love Shaq but he's not even the best big man. I'd take Hakeem or Wilt first.

I always liked Dennis Rodman and his Spurs jersey is the only sports jersey I've ever owned. He gave no fucks about scoring or being popular, he just did his job better than anyone ever and is one of the best team players in all of basketball history.

This really highlights how afraid to make contact Hakeem was. He floats up a bunch of shots before he gets into traffic.

It doesn't show his nasty blocks either.

edit: there aren't too many Otis Thorpes or Oakleys in the league today.

Jordan was known as the greatest of all time while he was still playing.

Normally one needs to finish their career first.

This is a correct post. Kareem's skyhook was literally unblockabe and he's one of the few big men to ever be dedicated to excelling at both ends of the floor.
