There’s an argument for Kareem over Magic but when they played together Magic was clearly the better player. When it comes to Kobe and Shaq, Shaq was the better player the entire time they played together. Kobe was great, but he was the second best player on those teams. The argument for Kobe’s greatness comes from what he did after him and Shaq broke up. Kobe had a better career than Shaq, but prime vs prime, Shaq was above Kobe

      regardless, doing it in one game doesn't mean he was the feature for the whole year. kobe dominated individual playoff games with shaq, especially when Shaq notoriously fouled out, but he never gets credit for those games. even though both of them had one hand on the wheel, neither was the bus driver for their respective teams. overall, Magic was 5-4 with at least 2 other hall of famers on his team for almost his whole career. Kobe did more with FAR less against harder and deeper (pause) league-wide competition.

    As legendary as Bill Russell is, among the things I discovered when I researched him and the Celtics was that their championship teams were FULLY LOADED. There were only a few teams in the NBA, hence, less number of players. And the Celtics had a handful of the best players. Plus, the NBA during the Celtics dynasty years only had a small sample of the best black players in the U.S.. Because of all those things, yes, I would rank the great Bill Russell out of the Top 5.

      The Spurs were great in the 1990s made WCF in 95 with D Robinson winning MVP and they won 60 games and lost to KD Warriors in 2017WCF the season after he retired which if Kawhi doesn’t get hurt Spurs maybe win the title people throw his team success way to much into Duncan’s all time case

    We need to stop the lies…Bron literally had 2 game winners in his first playoff series in 2006 and hit game winning shots including one after asking for the Kobe 1v1 over Kobe in Staples before he went to Miami…why do y’all ignore MJs chokes before he won? ORL series he had a clutch buzzer beater in game 2 and FTs to send game 4 into OT, all Bron needed was help to win he always had that dawg in him…if Cleveland drafted a Pippen for him he woulda been fine then too…Miami move did elevate him tho

      @@LeSteelercool with what you said but if we taking everything you saying into consideration, Magic will be the GOAT because he never really chocked like MJ and Bron. Also, won an MVP and title as a rookie. With all that accomplishment, we still say Bron and MJ are better than him and even Kareem. But after that is said, something gotta give between MJ and Bron. Then we would say MJ had more moments at his peak than Bron and Bron played more. MJ also won all the games he was supposed to win but Bron didn’t. Bron came back from 3-1 against the best team in NBA history in GSW but one might even argue that the team wasn’t the same mentally after Draymond’s ejection. The fact is that Bron should not have been down 3-1 in the first place. Had Kyrie, Kevin Love, J.R Smith who are all all stars

    Lebron needed Wade to win his first championships, similar to how Kobe needed Shaq and Jordan needed Pippen. Just because Kobe and Jordan got excellent players in their original team and all Lebron got was Zydrunas and Mo Williams in Cleveland and therefore wanted to go elsewhere doesn't make him weaker. On top of that, Lebron actually carried the 2007 Cavs to an NBA finals! If this doesn't highlight his winning capability, idk what you're talking about.
