    It seems every year the case gets stronger as newbies and old-school cats alike, want to cement Jordan as GOAT. People forget that Magic is just as worthy of this title.

    That's a whole nother thread.

    Magic is the prototype for this era's 6'7-7'0 ballhandling all around cat. Paradigm shift for real.
    MJ more rings more MVPs better Defense.

    Abdul Jabbar and Chamberlain and Russell factor into the GOAT arguement.

    Just sayin', the overriding trend especially recently is that Jordan obviously gets WAY more shine than these other dudes. (because he's the hipest and most marketable, has always been). Not hating at all, just saying. I would LOVE to watch Magic at the Great Western Forum.

    For those interested, the Lebron/D-Wade clip at NBA.com is PRICELESS...
