Re: Rank the top ten players of the 1980s
During the 93' Finals, Magic and Isiah said that if you removed mj/magic/isiah from their teams, the lakers/pistons would annihilate the bulls
in other words, the laker/pistons casts were much better
So doesn't that mean if MJ had the same help Isiah/magic had in the 80's, he would've destroyed them?..

How much more help does MJ need?

Can you read?
Magic and Isiah said they had much better casts than mj
And mj already destroyed both as it was, with weaker casts in 91 - the Pistons had 3x all-stars at every starting spot.. isiah/dumars/rodman were 27-29 years old....
And magic had 2 deluxe bigs (divac/perkins) who were better than anything the bulls had after the magic/mj and worthy/pippen matchups.. and they had 90' all-star ac green who lost playing time in 91' to Perkins/dicac

Of course this obessive mentally ill fakkot just goes off on some pathetic
Jordan tangent instead of just sticking to the subject and posting a normal response.

Interesting take on including Sabonis, but I would have to exclude someone like that because the Soviet Union would not let him play in the NBA then.

Dantley's defense sucked. So did Dominique's, though. Alex English scored the most points in the decade, so he's clearly one.
