It's waste, not waist, you fool.

It's clear that I know more about basketball than you, because you are an idiot. Why are you using smileys? Feeling insecure about being dumb?

A question (to anyone other than the idiot).

Where would you guys rate Kareem Abdul-Jabbar?

ever tried websurfing on your own ?

My god. Give it a rest. Kareem was good but I think either Magic or Wilt go in that spot for 2.

dominating? jordan
floor leader? jordan
basketball savvy? jordan
scorer? jordan
defender? not the best, but still good enough
clutch? jordan
athletic? jordan
all in one? jordan

thats why i think he's all around the best.
but thank you for making the word "BEST" more specific.
seriously, thats not sarcasm.

so who do u think is second best?

I kind of disagree with alot of those.
Dominating? Wilt Chamberlain
Floor leader? Magic Johnson
Scorer? Jordan
Defender? Ron Artest
Clutch? Jerry West
Athletic? Lebron James
All in one? Jordan

So yeah he is the best but not in every category.

Some people have to be the centre of attention, even if it is negative attention.

I've watched Magic a few times, he was a pretty great player. I didn't know he was so highly rated there, though.

Dont lower yourself Vic, you'll just feel dumber by reading every one of his responses.
In answer to your Kareem question he holds the record for the most points scored in a career and even though he was a great scorer he holds that record because he had such a long career (20yrs) and he was able to keep himself in great playing condition to preserve his career.
He won championships at every level he played and is one of the top 3 centers of all time imo.
As for his standing against the best players at any position, he is definitely top 10, i would put him top 5 but many would call me biased because he played for my team (the Lakers).
If you're interested here's some more info on him. He really is an interesting character outside of basketball to, he has written a few books on Jazz music and black history.

If Kareem had stayed a few more seasons he would be in a wheelchair now, he was 42 when he retired after having one of the longest NBA careers in history.
Jordan hit the league at just the right time, Bird and Magic had rejuvenated interest in the league again with the Celtics/Lakers rivalries and Jordan came in and showed a level of athleticism that had not yet been seen. He was marketed just the right way and had a clean cut image that made him so popular, as Magic and Birds careers wound down Jordan took over and showed that if he had a good team around him there was nothing to stop him winning championships every year. He had the whole package, flawless game and a great media personality. Kareem had game but hated talking to the media so they painted a picture of him being aloof and arrogant, as the media tends to do. He had no chance of ever being as popular as Jordan.

karrem 6 MVPS
magic 3
jordan 5
barkley only 1
larry bird 3
hakeem olajuwon kicked ass but hes only got 1 MVP

my bad i thought he was around 44 or 45 when he left cause i started to see some white on his hair during the games. 😄 but yah he left around 40. but still i say if karreem playe him 1 one on one karrem would beat him but still jordan would still give him a hell of a game.

talking about his face

LOL!!!!!!!!!!! I miss school!!

i hate it in threads when we get people who argue like they're still in school. spidey dude, i'm looking at you kiddo. no offence but with every post you've made you're calling vvd over for not knowing much about basketball. be happy that another person is showing some interest. existing fans should embrace the newbies not tell then they're idiots.
