MJ was also a great TEAM player, he didn't have to do it all and the Bulls had some very good role players on those Championship teams but imagining what MJ would have done with Shaq, Gasol, Odom, even old Gary Payton and Karl Malone is amazing.....as Magic Johnson said "There is Michael Jordan and then there is everybody else" or maybe as Larry Bird said after MJ dropped a playoff record 63 on the 1986 Boston Celtics (a great team) "God disguised as Michael Jordan"

I would take any number of players over Lebron....sure he's a physical specimine but so were Magic Johnson and Larry Bird, both FAR BETTER than Lebron at any position 1-5.

Kobe and Lebron are great sure but they aren't as special as some of the LEGENDS. Those guys will become legends but to me they just do have the "IT" factor that most people want out of like Heavyweight boxing champions.....when Jordan, Magic, or Bird had to take a game over they saddled up and did it and there were times when they made it look awfully easy and this was waaaaaay long before the talent got diluted by The Bobcats, Raptors, Grizzlies, etc..

Kobe dropped 81 on the Toronto Raptors and people talk about it as if Michael Jordan could never do that or anyone else for that matter. Pete Maravich lit up the 1977 New York Knicks for 68 and that was without the benefit of a 3-point line!!!
