Message: [QUOTE="HuskyHawk, post: 2700304, member: 1414"] The Jordan vs. Lebron debate is pointless. Different eras, different situations, different players. Jordan would not have fared as well against modern quasi-zone defenses. He benefited tremendously from the clear out isolation play, and the fact that the refs gave him every benefit. All stars get that to some degree, but nobody more than Jordan. That said, he played tremendous defense, which is often forgotten. I don't think Lebron works quite as hard at that end. I think Lebron hasn't helped his legacy by changing teams several times. When people latch on to a "greatest" they want to associate him with a single team, not 3 or 4 of them. I think it's fair enough to say Jordan is the greatest shooting guard ever. LeBron the greatest small forward. Center I'm not sure who is best, maybe Wilt, maybe Hakeem. Power Forward? Malone? Maybe Duncan if you consider him a PF. PG I'll go with Magic. [/QUOTE]
