At 41 years of age KAJ is using--to quote the announcer--"quickness" to "attack" his defender.

He was 41 years old and doling out lessons!

True greatness

Eh, he was just a fadeaway guy.

The other thing is Jabbar had the luxury of playing with Magic Johnson and James Worthy. As good as Pippen was he was never on either of those guys level.

Yea, he faded alright. Faded up into the sky, hung around a while, and then dunked on some mofos.

People now downplay Pippen to hoist up Kareem. Kareem was winning titles before Magic was in the league, same as Worthy. Jordan only ever won titles after Pippen came into the league.

Scottie Pippen was a better defender than Jordan, handled the second scorer role, and was a dynamic player all around. Jordan left the Bulls and they still deep playoff runs. What happened when KAJ left the Bucks, or LBJ left Miami and Cleveland? It took several years for Miami to reset and Cleveland had it's first good LBJ-less season since...before LBJ was in the league.

Jordan was just a scorer. LeBron will soon be the all-time scorer, with a massive PPG average and that wasn't even the predominant part of his game.

LeBrawn was greater earlier, later, and their prime years were on par.

LeBrawn wins.

Jordan was not just a scorer.

That was the main part of his game. He turned into a decent passer, and he was a wonderful defender. But there's a reason Phil had to fight with him about passing and playing within the system.

He was not nearly as multifaceted of a player as LBJ.
