Gerry, I know you love Shaq. Do you think Shaq was better than Kareem?

Kareem's career, and not close.

Kareem was the oldest basketball player to be the best best player in the world. Kareem was the best player in the world in June 1985 when he was 38 and kicked Bird's ass. Kareem was the best player in the world in 1971 when he was 22 and kicked Wilt's ass.

Kareem best center ever. Magic best point guard ever. Notice it's all Kareem scoring and all Magic passing.

Imagine you are so good, college rules are changed because of your dominance. That happened to Kareem. 

[Califashorn75]

Our strength programs are incredible.

Let's go to Curry. Given that he couldn't defend my grandmother, why should I think he's anything other than a gen z pansy? There's no way Kobe or Jordan wouldn't kick his ass. I don't care about shooting metrics in the post man defensive rules. What say you?

[harveycmd]

Glad to see AI says 22 year old 2001 Kobe would beat prime 1986 Bird 1v1. Curry ain't close.

[harveycmd]

Here we go. Kobe Bryant is the only man known to have told Michael Jordan straight to his face that he could kick his ass in a 1-on-1 game when he 21. Jordan later stated Kobe was only man who could have possibly beaten him 1v1.
