lol that's great and all but I've followed magic through watchin old tapes, reading books, documentaries, etc... I'm sure u know more about Eldridge cleaver than I do, but that's from reading his shit. U didn't have to be alive at the time to understand his greatness..

And you, homie, do not understand the greatness of Magic Johnson

I understand his greatness. And we can talk about his greatness all day as long as you leave Jordan out of it. I'm cool with Jordan, Magic, and Birds names being grouped together because that was my favorite era of all time... but it's blasphemy to start saying that Magic was equal or better than Jordan in any way.

Thing is, magic could score AND pass... Its not like he was a pass only player. He just did what it took for his team to win, and that was fill every role based on what was needed. The Showtime Lakers would shit on the 90s Bulls wit the quickness.

You mean like they shit on Jordan and the Bulls in the 91 Finals? In the words of Jordan, "Sorry Showtime"
Hack Wilson - real:
so basically you've learned about Magic from biased documentaries? makes sense Nikki

magic is the GOAT in my eyes, but i have no problem with jordan bein called GOAT either...and the only thing that's blasphemy is denying magic had better court-vision, passing game, was the better facilitator, rebounder, more efficient and was just more of an all-around player on offense than jordan. he did more for the lakers than mj did for the bulls...like i said, he single-handedly won the championship as a rookie, scoring 42 points when forced to replace kareem in the starting line-up..imagine if he was thrusted into a role like jordan's from day 1, where he was forced to be a score first player. he would be far more glorified as an individual...but the fact remains, magic did things on the court that couldn't be duplicated, by any1...as for 91 finals, Lakers won game 1 and were favorites to win the series. next thing u know, worthy got injured in game 1 and the rest was history...but still, that was post-showtime lakers....showtime lakers from the mid-80s with kareem woulda destroyed any bulls team, it wouldn't even be fair...trust me.

Dude, chill the fuck out and show some respect to the Greatest Point Guard ever. Comparing Magic to Jordan makes no sense - they are different players with different style of play. These two along with Larry Bird are a part of NBA's "Holy Trinity" - if it wasen't for them, this league will be nowhere near where it is now. They made the game of basketball what it is today.

It's funny you said that, after trying to downplay MJ's accomplishments in every thread possible around here :)
