the ONLY reason i'd take magic over bird is cause he was a 6'9 point gaurd
please after kobe's performance no more comparisons mj

Bird could do anything Magic could do. Bird would run the point if needed be. The diffeerence is Bird proved he could take second rate teams to the championship. Magic's entire career, (College included) he's been with great teams. Bird made teams great. Not to take anything away Magic, if Bird is better it's only by very very very very small margin.

Shaq was all the Lakers had and it sure as hell wasn't enough against a team that puts the team ahead of personal goals. Kobe also isn't a team player, he thinks it's all about him.

The fact that he even played with all the pressure and issues he was facing actually brings him closer to Jordan...He didn't wanna let the team down, he didn't take the year off like most players would have done...Just face it, Bryant is a great player, and will go down in history as one of the bests...

You're right. With Wilt, Russell, Bird, Magic, Jordan, and a couple others (Dr.J, West, Oscar), there is a plateau that there on where you can easily argue one over the other. Will any of today's players reach that plateau? Yeah sure. Guys like Shaq, and Duncan are almost there, but Kobe's got years to go.
Doggystylin:
Duncan? no, Duncan has so much support, it might not seem like it but that team is very similar to the sacramento kings, their made up of very good players who are just below all star level and run deep in the bench. Duncan is very overatted IMO.
