    Because he brought his home life into a Finals it cost him and the Spurs their 1st 5th. If you think we're forgettin' about that, Lachance, you're wrong. That's big time, baby.

    Your right, it isn't a debate. Jordan is clearly the best of all time and I hate the sociopath. Pretty hard to find much fault with his resume. Really have to get nitpicky tbh.

    In no particular order, Duncan, Jordan, Pippen, LBJ, Bird would probably be my top five.

    Yea, if you consider Bird beating Jordan 14X in a row nitpicky. And yes, it's a team game; but what kind of undisputed GOAT loses 14X in a row when you think about it?

    Who was jordans second best player during this time? Who was Birds supporting cast? Yea lets just throw out the amount of loses without context.

    By the time Jordan got help bird was on the decline.

    Considering how athletic Bird wasn't, that is just a testament to how intelligent Bird was as a player. Was always in the top 10/top 5 in steals each season almost every year of his career.

    And the Magic Bird comparison, Please the WC was a joke in the 80's. Basically flip the roles it is now. Lakers were the Heat/Cavs of the West, while the Celtics were the Spurs of the loaded East. There is a reason why the Lakers made 9 finals in Magic's career, something they wouldn't have done if they were in the Eastern Conference in the 80's.

    In 86, the Bulls clinched a playoff spot with MJ missing most of the regular season.

    MJ comes back just in time for the playoffs, wrecks the team chemistry with his Enriquing and the Bulls get swept

Bird was one of the most fun players to watch, he could pass like Diaw, shoot like Ray Allen, and hustle like Ginobili, the ultimate classball player.
    Plus he's white and he hated the spotlight, so he would be the embodiment of classball

    Nice try at a diversion. Even 2nd team illustrates he was one of the best defenders in the league.

    KG was also a better all-around player than Tim but he wasn't a better player.

    indeed. perhaps "more versatile" is a better description than "better all around" in some of these cases

    No it's isn't. Iggy is a better all-around player (more versatile) than Curry but Curry is elite at his craft.
