According to my brain:

 

C - Hakeem Olajuwon

PF - Tim Duncan

SF - Larry Bird

SG - Michael Jordan

PG - Magic Johnson

 

 

According to my heart:

 

C - Dirk Nowitzki (I have to put Dirk here to make room for Charles and because I have no real favorite center)

PF - Charles Barkley

SF - Chris Mullin

SG - Jason Kidd (I have to put Kidd here because he and Magic are my all-time favorite guards and I'm saying that with much respect to Jordan)

PG - Magic Johnson

Stanley Roberts (the guy who brought Shaq to school everyday at practice, should have been a great himself)

Arvydas Sabonis (if he had played in the NBA during his prime, Jordan wouldn't have so many championship rings)

Len Bias (RIP, the guy who could have been greater than Jordan)

Bonzi Wells (2006 playoffs version, was dominant in the series against the Spurs 20+ppg, 10+rpg for 6'5" SG)

Vinnie Johnson (aliw lang ako talaga dito kay Microwave)

 

hinde bigyan mo na lang ako ng limang Larry Bird hehe

all these so called heir apparents were always compared to MJ... just because lebron had a Mcdo commercial ala MJ-Bird doesn't mean he's that good...

 

let's see both stands 6'9"... both plays forward but bird doesn't get the ball that often than lbj, but bird is the better assist man

at crunch time bird demands the ball

 

bird has played through the rough and tough times of basketball rather than todays touch foul on superstars type of game

 

bird would gladly play the 4 position as he did with celtics when mchale was coming off the bench...

lbj? he needs his touches...

 

both of them can play all 5 positions but bird can play them more effectively than lbj because bird understands the concepts of team play and he understands better that at each position stat doesn't matter only the W and the ring

but what we are talking most probably is individual TALENT, LBJ has all the talent a coach wanted, play PG, SG, SF, PF, well i dont think he could play C positon.. and individually, LBJ is better than Bird. but Bird is better team player no doubt about it. and HE HAS THE HEART that LBJ lacks. and may never have..

Lebron may have the superior physical skills but as pat riley said about magic and larry ..they possess a special set of skills that separate them from everyone else ...also to all lebron supporters ,hav you ever heard the word choke associated with the play of larry bird ..enough said

talent wise? lebron is better?

hmmm... passing will go to bird

defense, bird again... guarding the likes of worthy, blackman, ellis, english, wilkins plus the pfs nance, malone and olajuwon when the twin towers of houston were around...

shooting undoubtedly bird

movement without the ball, malamang kay bird ito kasi hindi naman sya on top of the key guy

rebounding... bird again...

physicality bird again, because bird plays the power forward position when mchale or picney is on the bench plus bird played without the handcheck rule

ball handling... watch youtube to be convinced that bird is better

 

 

james is more athletic but talent wise it still goes to bird...

bird is more fundamentally sound and much much more effective.
