[QUOTE=Dragonyeuw]The eastern conference was an entirely different beast in 1989 and 2009. Thats IMO a bigger factor than the difference between their rosters.[/QUOTE]
This. 1989 East included the eventual NBA champs who the Bulls had to play [i]six times.[/i]. And if Bird had played at all that season, the Bulls probably would have only won around 45 instead of 47 games. No one trick pony was going to win 66 games in that conference.

Arenas had a low iq as a bball player. Especially for a "point guard". He was a chucker. No wonder he thinks Kobe is so good.
I'd much rather here Jason Kidd or Magic Johnson's opinion.

Yep, and extend that to the league as a whole for that decade. Look at the champions: Lakers, Celtics, Sixers, Pistons. Those teams were loaded with legit star power complemented by great depth. No team with one legit star and a cast of role players was going to do much damage in the playoffs.
Re: Gilbert Arenas Say's LeBron will never Be On Kobe's Or Jordan's Level
I love Gilbert Arenas, but why does anyone care about his opinion? Especially about Lebron? It'd be like Ehlo saying, "Jordan wasn't nearly as good a jumpshooter as Kobe."
Lebron thoroughly clowned and destroyed Arenas' Wizards like 3 years in a row.
Arenas never had any idea what was going on more than 2 feet away from his body. He was looking to get up as many FGAs and FTAs as possible. Had no sense of the rhythm of a game or the team dynamic. He's a checkers player, can't meaningfully understand the kind of game a chess player like Lebron is playing.
