Lebron not even top 10 according to those who watched more ball

Baby boomers have MJ at 1 and Lebron at 12
Gen X has MJ at 1 and Lebron 11
Millenials have MJ at 1, Lebron at 7 and kobe at 5. :lol

Click on the link below and sort by age.

Just goes to show how Baby boomers and Gen X seen enough to rank MJ at GOAT and know that lebron doesn't even belong in the top 10. They do have Lebron over Kobe, while millennials have kobe over lebron and put kobe at 5 and lebron at 7. :oldlol:

This is more accurate than any biased ESPN poll written by some millennial journalist.

Meltdown

ESPN has had him top 3 for a while

Welcome to reality

Where is Straight Alt-in ranked?

Supposedly op makes 6 figures

imagine thinking kobe at 17 and maravich at 20 is anywhere near accurate :oldlol:. Baby boomer list specifically is just awful

LMFAO at referencing ESPN as if they are credible for top 10 lists. At least with this unbiased ranker site you have an idea of the age group that voted and can see just how many voted.

Was Jordan even better than Bird when Bird was in his prime?

I mean just look at the '87-'88 stretch where they matched up 10 times in the season and once in the playoffs. Both were healthy and MVP caliber players so no excuses for either player...


11/14/86
Bird - 37/10/5 (13/25 shooting)
Jordan - 48/5/1 (17/33 shooting)

Celtics win, I'd say it's a wash though.

01/02/87
Bird - 37/8/9 (61.1%)
Jordan - 34/8/3 (41.9%)

Celtics win, Bird easily wins the matchup. Highlights of the game here: . As you can see Jordan made a pitiful attempt at guarding him.

27/01/87
Bird - 24/14/3 (39%)
Jordan - 30/6/4 (38%)

Celtics win. Wash.

28/01/87
Bird - 26/5/9 (65%)
Jordan - 27/4/4 (48%)
Celtics win. Bird wins matchup.

27/03/87
Bird - 41/7/7 (58.6%)
Jordan - 22/7/7 (39.1%)

Celtics win. Bird easily wins matchup. Highlights:

17/04/87
Bird - 38/8/7 (59%)
Jordan - 17/4/8 (33%)

Celtics win. Bird easily wins matchup. Highlights: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEaNw...e=channel_page[/url]

12/01/88
Bird - 38/9/8 (58%)
Jordan - 42/4/6 (53%)

Celtics win. Bird wins matchup.

18/03/88
Bird - 19/10/6
Jordan - 50/9/5

Bulls win. Jordan finally wins head to head.

20/03/88
Bird - 33/7/8 (67%)
Jordan - 26/4/7 (56%)

Celtics win. Bird easily wins matchup. Highlights:

21/04/88
Bird - 44/10/3 (65.5%)
Jordan - 39/3/8 (51.5%)

Celtics win. Bird wins matchup *yawn*


Bird's record in this stretch? 9-1 while outperforming him in nearly every game. What makes this worse? Bird made Jordan look like a child when Jordan tried to guard him. Meanwhile the possessions I saw Bird guard Jordan, he defended him quite well (definitly wasn't gambling for steals to leave him open in the post).

Moreover, Jordan is 0-6 in the playoffs including this disaster in '87: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7RVMJSCTj5Y[/url] (Jordan makes 0 shots in the 4th quarter...Bulls had a 7 point lead with 11 minutes left...but Bird showed up when it mattered while Jordan was no where to be seen)

Kind of makes Jordan's '88 MVP come off as even more of a joke, no? Not that I really care but all you really hear about is the 63 points.
