OKAY. Let me sum it up for some of you. Larry Bird, Magic Johnson, Wilt Chamberlain, Bill Russell, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the others earlier, they ALL HAVE ASTERISKS attached to their rings BEECAAUUSEEEEEEEEE::: JORDAN was not born earlier!!! If JORDAN were born in 1940 and were superhumanely fit enought to play throughout the 60's and 70's and 80's, those scrubs would not have won any single ring. They were lucky enough to have played before the Jordan era. Just like Hakeem was lucky enough to have played between the two Jordan eras, or Duncan who is lucky to play after the Jordan eras and got the 99 ring.
all i can say is that you are a moron. you can't compare eras and say that they wouldn't have won if jordan was around. jordan was around from 85 - 90 and he didn't win a championship and he was scoring 30ppg. it's a f***ing team game. you don't deserve to post. period
