If Kareem blows his knee out at 33 years old (Before Magic fell in his lap) is the guy even in Shaq's class?
All those regular season MVPs with no les. Was Kareem the original LeBron James?
you could say that. he was a beast in the regular season, winning 4 mvps in 7 years in the 70's. he probably would've been an 0 timer in his first 10 years if it wasnt for oscar robertson. his second le came when the lakers drafted the lakers. makes you wonder if kareem is a career coattailer ( he likes piggy backing guards it seems like just like duncan)
When the Lakers drafted the Lakers. Ok. I don't recall that one.
this what happens when you and by "you" i mean me, pretends to know what he's talking about tbh. a 6 minute google research of the league history in 70's isn't going to cut it. given my diet of white rice, coffee and fried fish, its no wonder my iq is below 85.
Kimchi squats over piss puddles and hand rolled cigarettes...
Story of my life
Tiny chickens running around because you never let them mature before you eat them... kids with dirty faces and bad haircuts sitting under makeshift porches staring out at the cameras, women with leathery faces and missing teeth, chewing on some exotic root and swatting flies from their faces.... and a dog leaning against the hula hut to keep from falling down.

Frankly, I'm not impressed
Lew: 6
the tired old bag Duncan: 5
magic made him act like soembody
He was the original Karl Malone tbh(big FG% drops in the playoffs, RS empty stats that couldnt lead his team anywhere), Magic saved his career...
And that's why the Celtics tried to end Magic in '84. They knew if they didn't stop him then, crush him it would be their doom. And they thought they had. I thought they had. I was in a terrible shape, a crying jag in the parking lot at Parmatown in Parma, Ohio that I could not stop. It just empowered Magic though, like when the wrestlers get beat so bad it empowers them and they go nutty nuts and win the match. That's what happened to Magic. They beat him so bad that he because a man possessed and saved us all--took us all out of the darkness and into the light.
LMAO! Keep movin' them goal posts, Thready.
As long as Duncan>Kobe. Let us proceed.
You're closing in on O & half a hundred.
tee, hee.
mavs won't get into the playoffs
Kareem has 6 les. Six MVP's and has 13,483 points ahead of Jim. Jim would have to play another 10 years to catch Kareem in points. He also has the highest winning percentage of any player to ever play. GOAT... .
He also won one sole tile in his prime as a beta to Big O... then he coat tailed Magic.... he is not the greatest..
He's definitely not an MJ. But he's in the discussion
@ 33 years old he had 1 single le
MJ couldn't break thru until Pippen got his together. Basketball is a team sport. GOAT, passing the torch and all that is merely marketing aimed at low-information consumers.
Kareem was the most dominate center I've ever seen play the game. But even he couldn't do it alone. No one can.
- Kareem led the Bucks to a le in their third season of play. That's more impressive than a lot of other les.
- The Lake Show put hot garbage around Kareem his first few years there. Like, LeBron's supporting cast in Cleveland level of garbage. He led them to the best record in the NBA in 1976-77 even though their second and third-best players were Lucious Allen and Cazzie Russell. L.A. didn't add Norm Nixon and Silk Wilkes until his fourth season and didn't add Magic until his sixth. No man can do it alone.
basketball is team sport..I don't know why that is so difficult to comprehend for a large portion of fans..
If a player plays horribly and loses to a team that his team should have defeated, then sure, he deserves blame(that doesn't happen very often, though)..otherwise, it's stupid to give credit/blame to an individual for team wins, unless it's a historic run..
Kareem was a badass,,,no doubt about it. Dude perfected a shot that was unblockable. He's top 5 of All Time without question.
You just compared a guy from Central Arkansas traded away on Draft Day to the Golden Boy Magic.
If Jordan had Magic Johnson, he would have won 10 x les
