Just wanted to put out there that the best player of Jordan's era is Larry Bird, and Jordan never beat Larry Bird. Wilt couldn't win a series against Bill Russell...but he still won games. Lebron actually won series against Durant and Curry and Garnett and Harden and all those guys. Even Shaq who lost 8 times in the playoffs to John Stockton was able to eek out a single win. Unlike Jordan who was never able to beat Larry in a game that counted.

Just thought I would put that out there for nobody in particular

I am a big Larry Bird fan as I have Bird higher than Magic in my player rating, but consider this = if you switched these two players and had them change teams, there is no way Bird is leading that Bull's roster over the Boston roster especially with Jordan on the Celtics. Teams win series and championships.
