Magic vs Lebron

Pray_4_War · « **Reply #2 on:** August 23, 2013, 02:31:25 PM »

I'm a huge Magic Johnson fan ever since I was a kid. As a fan, I was confused by Magic's tweet. Is he butthurt that Lebron snubbed him? If so, I'm amazed that he gives a shit what Lebron thinks. Lebron is of the generation that thinks that Michael Jordan invented the game of basketball. Of course he is gonna be on Jordan's nuts.

I agree with Magic that championships are huge when talking about the greatest players of all time. I hate the Celtics but why does Bill Russell always get ignored? Dude has 11 rings and the last two he won as player he was also the fucking coach. Bad Dude. While we are at it, Kareem has 6 rings and 6 MVPs.

Magic is a top 10 player of all time but lets be serious, he wasn't as good in his prime as Lebron is now

Saw Magic and Bird on Letterman. Bird said magic is better player because of more championships. Magic says bird is the better player.

James should Tweet back "You have more rings, but I'm HIV free"

Lebron is playing at a very high level right now but I still think Magic was better. It's hard to compare the two because they played on very different teams and they had different responsibilities on those teams.

I'm old enough to have seen Magic at his best. People today give him respect but I still don't think that they understand how good he really was. Lebron is a beast and I'm not trying to take anything away from him though.

That would be CLASSIC !!!!

As much as Magic was pushing the "Lebron is the best player" button, he probably wanted a little reciprocity.

There was nothing more entertaining than watching the Lakers play during Magic's era. The fastbreak "showtime" offense was truly a thing to behold. The Magic/Kareem Lakers were so much more fun to watch than the Kobe/Shaq Lakers.

Lets be real. You could move the top 10 of all time in different order and you would have a valid argument. They are all good.

Magic isn't really butthurt over Lebron.....he's likely mad because Lebron mentioned Larry Bird. Magic and Larry Bird's rivalry is legendary.

True, Lebron was just being honest, he said he Magic was fourth on his list! He is entitled to his opinion!

Horseshit. They respect each other immensly and do nothing but put each other over. DrJ doesnt belong. Not even close to a top 3 guy.

Agreed. And so many played in different eras, with different responsibilities to their teams. These guys are all top 10 worthy, and I listed more than 10 guys

Jordan
Bird
Magic
Kareem
Lebron
Kobe
Russell
Wilt
Shaq
Oscar Robertson
Duncan
Malone
Olajuwon

Probably forgot a bunch too

Dr.J changed the game! Maybe not top 3 definitely top 10 in my book! It's subjective depeds what you are basing it on!

He played an exciting style but he pales compared to the very top players. Excellent scorer, especially ABA days, but little else. Below avg rebounder for his physical abilities and not a great passer either. Fun to watch.
