The only players in the NBA with 1300+pts and 500+reb. Way to go Aldridge! The Blazers are lucky to have him.
LeBron is the only NBA player that could start at every position on the floor and still play at an All-Star level. Magic maybe the only other guy in history that could say that.
He is a robin even still. He needs batman. But in the right system; he'd be top pf in the game. Currently I would put him 3rd or 4th
I am one of those people. A lot of it has to do with competitive spirit, and the refuse to lose mentality. Remember Jordan sick as a dog in that playoff game? He had to be carried to the bench during timeouts. Yet he played and did really well and helped his team win. This is absolutely nothing against Magic. I put him in the top 5 easily. Perhaps top 3. I do think Jordan is the best ever though. Of course everyone has their opinion. Other posters say Wilt is the best ever.
And how many defensive players of the year did Magic win, while leading the league in scoring AND winning the league MVP that same year? And how many all NBA defensive did Magic make, while leading the league in scoring? That's why he isn't the best all time player.
Indeed, tonight's performance by LaMarcus Aldridge makes me question whether Michael Jordan is the greatest of all time.
Yup. I'm an Aldridge hater. Every time he makes a shot I'm like, "DAMMIT!!!! Why did that have to go in!?! Now I can't post about how much I hate Aldridge.... woah is me, woah is me."
