Re: Who would you rather build your team around - Kareem, Bird, LeBron or MJ?
[QUOTE=Mr. Jabbar]not really. once you scratch lebron and compare the others 3 achievements & longevity Kareems name instantly appears as the obvious choice[/QUOTE]
Longevity... you are right. I'll have to edit my post. :(
(BTW, we have no idea as to LeBron's longevity yet.)

Re: Who would you rather build your team around - Kareem, Bird, LeBron or MJ?
[QUOTE=elementally morale]If I don't know how they will pan out:
1. Kareem
2. LeBron
3. Bird
4. MJ
If I do:
1. Bird
2/a Kareem
2/b MJ
3. LeBron
That's my final answer.[/QUOTE]
could you possibly explain a little bit why you would choose Bird over Kareem who you had number 1 if you didnt know?

I didn't take longevity into account first, just peak play and impact on team. I started watching in 1980 and from what I've seen, Bird's peak was better than anyone else's not named Shaq. But I didn't see 70s Kareem... so I don't know.
And longevity is important, I just totally forgot about it the first time, hence the EDIT. In other words: I fu(ked up the first two times I tried. :oldlol:

Yeah... and losing the 2013 Finals against the 8th seed of the West didn't help his case either.

I never really think about injuries, but what if you took that into consideration as well? Bird was more injury prone than Jordan, LBJ and Kareem.

[QUOTE=jongib369]Lol idk if you're being sarcastic or not but would love to hear your opinion if you can make up your mind :lol
Known on here as a LeBron fan right? Guessing you'd choose him. Which I can respect LeBron is a ****ing monster. Need to see him play before he retires[/QUOTE]

Re: Who would you rather build your team around - Kareem, Bird, LeBron or MJ?
Knowing how their careers went and taking health, longetivity and dominance into consideration... Toss up between Jordan and Kareem with Bron right behind them. I wwould scratch Bird from consideration because of his chronic back problems.
Final list...
1a. Jordan
1b. KAJ
2. LeBron
3. Bird

Re: Who would you rather build your team around - Kareem, Bird, LeBron or MJ?
Kareem probably has the GOAT college career. Bird had an excellent one as well.
Considering college is typically where talent is scouted....
Kareem - Easiest to build around a big. At 7'2" yeah he's pretty much the epitome of a big. Had the agility of a guard too. Excellent defender and rebounder with a great offensive game. Can't go wrong here.
Bird - Elite court vision and shooting ability. I'm thinking Bird would have been like a 35ppg scorer had there been a 3 point line.
Both MJ and Lebron athleticism were just clearly ahead of the field as prospects. Lebron as a high school phenom in a man's body and MJ as the majestic high flyer. Lebron had the hype as the Magic v2 so probably Lebron over MJ in this case.
