    You seem to be having trouble understand what people are saying today.

    I did not, in any way, say you are upset right now.

    The only person I give a hard time about strawman arguments is PapaG. And, I'm not upset when I do so, it's more like a running joke.

    Kobe offers his 5

    And I agree 100% with Kobe with his 5 and the fact it's not difficult. Those are THE 5.

    Nobody listed Ostertag as one of Shaq's toughest opponents. They listed him as a center with size.

    Strawman

    Top ABA/NBA Players in PER, all-time.

    Face it folks. LeBron James is one of the greatest players ever.

    http://www.basketball-reference.com/leaders/per_career.html

    For those who dismiss PER as a measure of greatness, notice this, and then notice the players who don't have the asterisk.

    Also note that LMA has the 75th best PER of all-time, with ZBO at 76.

    You compare players who are in their peaks, to former players whose PER averages include downside years.

    I just did a calculation, that I'm too tired to post in understandable form. I figured the average number of teams (and thus centers) against whom Wilt played during his peak 1959-68, and the same for Shaq 1992-2006. I divided the number of good centers during those years by the number of teams played against. The result is that they each played against the same quality of centers. Maybe I'll come back after a rest with details.

    LeBron is a better post-season player than Jordan statistically, and has better prime seasons than Jordan.

    2009 buddy.

    I get what you mean. Kareem played 2/3 of his games against guys like Abdul-Aziz.
