[eliteballer]

Don't know why you guys won't stick to the topic, Kobe or Magic are a different discussion. Feel free to make your own topic on that.

So whats the vote for Jordan vs. LeBron?

Jordan > Kobe
LeBron > Kobe

Kobe=injured in 2004, 2013.

Malone/Payton/Nash-washed up

Jordan and Lebron: in primes, and supporting cast all or near primes.

If Shaq is more valuable than all that put together...you might as well concede he's better than Jordan.

Didn't Malone and Payton both average 20ppg before coming to LA?

[SamuraiSWISH]

Kukoc was never a 20 ppg scorer BTW, best he did was 19 ppg on 42% as the lone gunman on the '99 Bulls.

Ron Harper was a shell of the guy who could score 20 - 24 ppg when he had his athleticism prior to injury. Don't exaggerate. Defensive role player who couldn't create offense.

Kerr is a role player, Craig Hodges was a role player, mere spot up shooters. Same goes for Paxson, and BJ Armstrong. What's next Jud Buchelor was a Lamar Odom caliber 6th man of the year?

Forgot 2010 Lakers (Kobe / Gasol / Artest / Odom / Bynum/ Fisher) ... STACKED. And 2010 was stacked, I remember thinking exactly that before the season started when they added DPOY caliber specialist Ron Artest.

If Horace Grant, and Harper are as great as you insinuate, then add the 2001 Lakers to most stacked of all-time (Shaq / Kobe / Horry / JR Rider / Harper / Grant / Fisher)

Oh, and the 2011 Lakers (Kobe / Gasol / Artest / Odom / Bynum / Fisher)

Jordan:

Pippen: Top 25 player All-Time,

Stopped reading after seeing that.

[SamuraiSWISH]

Jordan > Kobe
LeBron > Kobe

LeBron > Magic, too. Slightly inferior playmaker. But LeBron is a better scorer, and light years better as a defender. And to his credit, at least LeBron stuck it out in Cleveland for 7 years. He didn't cowardly, and selfishly manipulate where he was to be drafted.

[LeGOAT]

Prime Pippen>current Wade. Every other playoff game was a struggle for Wade in the playoffs die to injury and Bosh was nonexistent half the time as well. Ray Allen was terrible for the majority of the playoffs. Mike Miller was playing with a broken back

Very unpopular opinion, but I totally agree. If Bron retired today, he would probably not be ranked as high. But the player that LeBron is right now is superior to any version of Magic, and I would say that about the last 4 years. If you ever feel like making a thread for that debate, I would love to partake.

[AirTupac]

Lmao at these sorry ass fools. Malone a 40 year old who was injured is being brought up in their lists

Dwight and Nash? L-M-A-O.

And then there's LeBron with prime Wade and Bosh with an allstar selection on the bench who signed for next to nothing. Now they have number 1 pick Greg Oden, number 2 pick Michael Beasley. So much firepower. [COLOR="White"]Lastsentencewasjokes [/COLOR]

[hahaitme]

Feel sorry for OP, getting ethered by everyone in this thread

[KyleKong]

Did OP really put Greg Oden as a "stacked" member?

[ArbitraryWater]

Kobe...

Outside of 2004-2007 stacked rosters year in year out

[plowking]

Clearly this is about this season, since it includes Greg Oden, which is where I'll start.

Greg Oden? Hes the reason we're stacked? Aaron Gray at this point is probably as impactful in the NBA.
Ray Allen? The worst man defender in the league and the guy that's shooting 35.4% from 3 point land? Is that the one? The best shooter ever? The one that is shooting worse than Bron and Bosh, and Wade this season from 3 point land? Only player on your list that was great for a season at the Heat.
Shane Battier? Battier has never been close to being a top 3 point shooter during his stay in Miami. At best, and I mean absolute best, he was average, with a side of streaky.
Mike Miller? Clearly played like the multiple ALL STAR he is... Oh wait, he was never an All Star once... and never came close to cracking 20ppg.

The Heat are stacked because they're top heavy. Lebron, Bosh and Wade make them stacked. The players around them outside one or two pieces have never been that great, which is why collectively, over the time the big 3 have been together, they've had the worst bench in the league.
This team is really made up of everyone's seconds and players that passed waivers. No one wanted Birdman. No one wanted Beasley. No one bothered to pick up Oden earlier. Celtics were actively trading Ray Allen.
Shane Battier was probably one of the few prized pieces on the Heat, and hes turned out to be trash outside of his defense. He can't even do what he was known for best on offense anymore, and that's hit the 3.

[Yao Ming's Foot]

Prime Shaq is more valuable than this entire list.

Jordan mythologists like to pretend 2008-2010 didn't happen...
