      Kareem scored 38000 points throwing sky hooks from where thr three point line used to be at a time when there are no three pointer. If there was he would have set a record that was completely unbreakable. No debate. Secondly a fuy known simply as 'The Dream' who Shaq admitted always ran circles around him no matter how hard he hit him or fouled him show be on the mountain before him. This isn't a physical NBA. Its a marketing NBA. Sure Jordan got all the calls in his era as did Magic and Bird in theirs. At some point we have to stop calling it basketball compared to the rules the rest of the world is playing by.

      @Dr. Rhil TV you should watch more tape on Jordan. He had to bust through hard lanes and take it up with big men going hard on him many times. Not to mention going against stuck on you glue defense. You've probably never seen anyone play that kind of great defense in your lifetime, since I assume you're gen z. And since that is the case, why are you even trying to discuss a topic that you don't know about? The fact that you even think they play defense today is insane.

Is Steph gonna take it to the hoop against Alvin Harper or Pippen, no, he doesnt do it now and in their era he'd be hard checked everytime he touched the ball. As for defense, you straight up called one of then best defensive players of all time a stat padder... foolish to argue a point you can't speak on because you never saw it.

      It's funny how everyone talks about the warriors team being the best to the benefit of Lebron, yet, they keep on disrespecting Steph, the cornerstone of the teams' offense. Without him, their offense doesn't work. To be honest, if you added a Jaylen brown or Brandon Ingram type of player to the 73-win warriors, they still win one or all two titles. And that's not to disrespect KD, but that highlights just how good the GSW team was.

      #2 Calling someone a dummy when you clearly don't understand context is bush-league.
      #3 You are putting an arbitrary qualification about being in the hall of fame just as they are putting an arbitrary qualification of rings.
      #4 It is completely subjective and debatable and everyone can have their own list.. There is more to being on Mt. Rushmore than either of those qualifications so Jerry West, Kareem, Magic and Kobe are mine...doesn't make me more correct or not.

Centers back then was stacked with real Centers that played physical. Now maybe 2 or 3 that can be consider tough. They rather sit behind the arc and hit the 3 instead of being the paint grabbing rebounds and getting a high percentage dunk.

    The biggest problem I have with these What If scenarios is that how biased people tend to be towards whatever player/team they think is better. Like a Wilt vs Shaq situation… whoever you got down as the better player is fine. Just don’t act like they’re monstrously better and like that’s obvious. It’s close! They’re both dominant superstar big men. They could both score points on one another and they could both block each other. It’s fine to have a preference but it’s not like one of those guys is going to beat the other guy 100-0. It’s more than likely going to be competitive and go the distance.

They had 3 starters on the 1st team, that is INSANE. Ron Harper was a really solid defender and Luc Longley was just gigantic. If the Warriors want to play small ball, just take out Longley and put in Kukoc. The Bulls were really versatile against lineups like that. The Bulls would have been thrilled to play against a team that just jacked up 3s all day.
