ok, i wont stop taking drugs but........ ......... , 1)jason kidd is an assist king ! and has a great shot !! magic couldnt shoot for shit !! when we talk about individuals you cant talk about championships. alot of great players have never won a championship. i just think they are in the same league. 2)sir charles-- no way !! all he had was a spot up and post up. have u ever seen him try to dribble ? lol -- thats funny . todays players would shake him up ! big men drive to the goal and make moves these days! 3) ewing-- youre a knick fan so i wont bother arguing. 4) lambier - ???? come on
Lambier: What people don't understand is that Lambier would have hacked the hell out of Kobe. Jordan had to put up with tremendous physical punishment when he went to the hoop when he played Detroit and the bad boys. That was back in the days before Jordan got extreme preferential treatment, like is currently given to Kobe. Lambier, and Rodman kicked the shit out of most folks in their prime during Detroit's run. Jordan proved to them, and the league how physically and mentally tough he was when he took down the Bad Boys. Kobe gets essentially a free pass, as people live in fear of retribution by Shaq, and the refs.
ok, the only one i will take back is hakeem. although duncan is close. and bird doesnt brag. he wouldnt say he is better. and i do think jordan said he is passing on the throne. (referring to kobe) passing it on to a 23 yr old ! no need to pass it, it was taken
You prove your basketball IQ in single digits when you even try to rate Jason Kidd superior to Magic.
no one gets beaten around or has ever gotten beat around like iverson ! optional777, a serious question...... how old are u ? i think our age may be the reason for our different views
Iverson is one tough player, could have played in any era. Age has nothing to do with understanding hoops.
not saying that, but i think you like the older player more than u like the newer players. so does my dad
Ok ...You know nothing about basketball....seriously...you either are 12 and never saw him play or your a NJ fan....Magic hit so many clutch shots to WIN CHAMPIONSHIPS...not games in cleveland...BTW...Look up the career scoring avg of Kidd and Magic...
