    At least AD let you guys keep that talking point, gotta cling to that 2 point scoring edge after LeBron won FMVP

    I must reiterate that Bird not rotating over quickly enough sometimes on help defense and being often beaten off the dribble while on man defense due to, for lack of better words, lethargic feet is a detracting statement against Bird, 'cuz you know that's not good. Other players suffer this defensive letdown as well, but I don't think they're always called out as much for it.

    Checkout the On/Off data. AD's got more impact on defense and generally overall. Only scoring doe! What's a tougher pill to swallow, AD leading you to a championship or Jordan still having 2 more?

    Why couldn’t AD outscore, outrebound, or outassist LeBron in the Finals?

    Hey where is Hakeem in your list, OP? That guy was a considerably better two-way player than AD.

    The same chart that has Danny Green ahead of LeBron and Rondo 9th? Don't think I'm gonna take that too seriously. Unlike the clowns on here I give LeBron & AD essentially 50/50 credit for the title, and I think LeBron being the consensus 2nd or 3rd best player of all time is gonna be much more difficult for the haters to take than Jordan being GOAT, which I wouldn't even disagree with

    Same thing with any stat. Games and minutes played should be used as context. Danny Green is a role player while AD and LeBron see most of the action. And for the most part are on equal footing, hence your 50/50 rating. Didn't mean to RAIN on your guys parade though. Keep on keeping on!

    I must confess...

    this was originally a troll thread masked in truth, for the purpose of taking down Kareem, who people were calling the goat at the time on ISH

    It basically backfired because even though I understand the "birdfed" narrative purported itt, my actual stance is the opposite.. guys who finish possessions control the game the most..

    lebron and magic need these great iso scorers that can finish possessions like Kareem, Wade, Kyrie, Worthy or AD - elite 1st option juggernaut scorers... lebron/magic need guys to FINISH possessions.. I made a thread about their need:

    http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/sho...like-AD-Kareem

    Otoh, Jordan was the finisher for the Bulls - he was the juggernaut scorer and also the leading assist guy
