No, this is the first time I've seen you geek out about him. Never before. You have a complex relationship with understanding and grasping that players that existed before you were even swimming in your dad's balls were legit, and of the caliber or better than some of, if not all the guy's you see on your screen today. With the exception of maybe LeBron, and when he's ballin ... Kobe.

I know the game. I respect the greats of each era. I just don't live in a world where they cannot be challenged by the contemporary players of today. You're very shortsighted in terms of projecting how great today's players are and that is fine.

I don't want to get this thread off course.

If you want to continue discussing this, feel free to PM me.

Nah man, admit it ... you flat out hate on older players. I have seen you make stupid generational arguments all the time.

Not really. I'm very knowledgeable and sober about ranking players as I've seen them. I claimed in 2010 LeBron had surpassed Magic in terms of performance. And I was crucified. All that's left to catch up is his resume in regards to rings and it's legit. On longevity terms he will surpass Bird, too.

Kobe is quite easily the 2nd greatest SG of all-time. Wade probably the 4th best SG of all-time.

How does that make me short sighted? I just know for a fact I haven't seen someone better yet than MJ from '90 - '93 / '96.

I will PM you though to catch up with you, bro.

I think the most "controversial" argument I've ever put up against older players was when I was shocked that people didn't think Shaq's peak was as good as Jordan's.

Maybe I'm blissfully unaware of my bias against past players.
