If Jordan is 1st then Kareem or Russell is 2nd.
LOL @ those voting Kobe or Wilt or Magic.

Longevity helps a lot here. That, and turning a small market franchise into contenders immediatly at such inexperience is pretty impressive (talking about Milwaukee of course).
I think the only real thing I can critique Kareem for is basically doing nothing of note in the playoffs in his prime until Magic came, and that he always had some great PG when he won (Oscar and Magic). If I'd give a trump card though, it'd have to be longevity.

Kareem is a much better player than Magic and was the main reason of the Lakers' success in the 80s. Magic was there riding his coattails. Much like Kobe rode Shaq's. Yet Magic and Kobe got all the (undeserved) credits.
They are overrated.
He'll probably be in the top 3 of any categories - Rings, MVPs, Records, Accolades, Intangibles, etc.

Kareem.
Magic
kareem. has only 2 of 6 FMVPS. 66% of their championships. he wasnn't the best man on his team.
russell. (what has already been said)
magic. the one thing that always got me with him, his one thing: his teams were always LOADED .. always. never had to go through struggle.
i think it should be between magic or bird.
:)
(serious)
Kareem
The answer is not Kareem, but I suppose he's gonna be 2nd.
I hate the trend of Kareem, because he's absolutely not as good as Magic.
