As much as it pains me to admit this....I think so.....

DrunkenHorseplayer · May 27, 2014

Magic, Michael, LeBron, Karl Malone and Moses Malone.

packer2012 · May 27, 2014

Any way we could use Russ at the power forward? Hard to keep The Stilt put of the lineup.

LeBron does not belong. Bullshit wishful thinking to get a current guy in there!

HacheMan · May 27, 2014

I don't think he deserves to be there....yet

Mr_Mark · May 27, 2014

I think the only for sure lock on everyones list is MJ at SG

Many great players at the other positions makes it a tuff call.

PG:
Magic
Big O
Stockton

SF:
Bird
Lebron
Dr J
Elgin Baylor

PF:
Duncan
Malone, Karl or Moses
KG
Barkley

C:
Russell
Shaq
Wilt
Hakeem
David Robinson

I think you ask 50 all time greats to pick between Bird and LeBron and you probably get 25 on each guy.

Shub · May 27, 2014

Bird all day

CHOPTALK · May 27, 2014

Come on guys. I was a big bird fan to but I don't see how this is even a conversation.

DogDaze · May 27, 2014

Bird.

Doublelife · May 27, 2014

Lebron by far he would destroy bird

They are two of the best all-around players all-time.

But in different ways.

Bird was a better shooter, rebounder, passer, and scrapper.

Lebron depends on his size & physicality to get it done.

They're just different...

CHOPTALK · May 27, 2014

The question is who's the best not who's your favorite. I can't think of a single thing bird did better then lebron other then maybe a slightly better 3 point shooter

Then you didn't watch Bird as much as you think you did.

He is one of the best free throw shooters of all time.
