ALL TIME BASKETBALL - Torch Carriers

[kennethgriffin]

this isnt about per year. this isnt about who did what. this isnt about anything except a mixture of greatness and overall popularity, being the face of basketball for people around the world. the guy representing the game. each guy passed it on to the next.


the torch carriers




George Mikan 1949-1954
Bob Cousy 1955-1961
Jerry West 1962-1971
Julius Erving 1972-1979
Magic Johnson 1980-1990
Michael Jordan 1991-1998
Kobe Bryant 1999-2011
Lebron James 2012-Now






wilt and russ were nothing compared to the popularity of the logo
kareem wasnt nearly as big as the Doc. he legitimized the ABA
bird wasnt nearly as big as magic
shaq and duncant couldnt hold a candle to the Air Apparent
Durant is a fart in the wind to lebron



we can argue all day about 2 guys from each era. but whats clear as day is who was carrying the sport of basketball
