    Most of what these coaches say is just to suck up to there players.

    --Reggie Miller
    --Mark Jackson
    --Horace Grant

    The only players to have played against both Lebron and Kareem.

    Just looked at the 85, 86, and 87 drafts. Not too hard to find the few players whose careers were long enough to bridge the gap between Kareem's farewell season (87-88) and Lebron's rookie year (03-04).

    It seems like all of those guys were retired by the time Lebron got here, obviously that’s wrong but it’s pretty interesting. Someone should get those 3 and have them debate greatest of all time, actually we could skip mark Jackson and Reggie miller we hear them enough, heh.

    Shoot, since I was thinking Kareem retired in '88, I missed one. Ramblin' Rod Strickland also joins the group.

    Didn't even think to go back to the 84 draft. Good catch.

    Geez, that dude played forever.

    Karl Malone had one year of overlap with LeBron, I think?

    I've refereed him since he was in 8th Grade and all through his high school career. The kid has always been a class act on the basketball court.

    I use him as a teaching moment for players with regard to how they should respond to an official's call. I have no negative words for Kevin.

    His father however....
