I was never very interested in basketball. But I do know MJ makes fantastic commercials for Hanes.  You can't possibly argue over Hanes's comfort. 

kobe has improved his status on my top 10 list of guards with his recent 2 championships with lakers, before that, he wasnt' even in my top 10 even though he had 3 with shaq.. but he's definitely improved his ranking among top guards all time, he could literally be #2 at this point.. if he wins one more he definitely is.

if you're using mvp's to put people in top 10 ranks, then you'd have to put nash there, but he doesn't have a ring.. i'm looking at rings.. i mean AI was insane back in his sixers days, he had basically a horribly weak supporting cast and made it to the finals.. he truly took over games and was nearly unstoppable.. but he didn't win one either.. top 10 is reserved for players who win championships..

i'll use an nfl example.. tom brady vs payton manning.. tom brady isn't considered anywhere near payton's level in quarterbacking, BUT, he's more of a WINNER... he's clutch, he gets it done, he pulls out wins out of nowhere.. he might have a 200 yard passing game with the game winning drive in the 4th, etc.. to me he's among the top 5 QB's all time, already.. if he wins one more i'm literally putting him GOAT status, he is that legit at just WINNING.

MJ was a winner, when you needed him, he delivered, more often than not... FAR more often than not.. beyond his great stats, he just was able to pull out clutch performances and win games, thus winning 5 championships, with another 3-4 he could have won had he not retired.. he simply is the best of all time and is the authority on all things basketball

could be 2 or 3, but extremely unlikely, b/c then it be called "top 5 guards"  and when i typed mvps, all star mvp/finals came to mind but then i brought those up separately anyway.  that doesn't really matter, yet you chose to write an entire paragraph to bring it up then you mentioned the top 10 thing which i just refuted.... i'm really not belittling your hero mike, i hate to see people have incorrect views on things and then vehemently defend their position.  im not disputing mike's accomplishments...

Wow dude, you didn't read anything I said did you? Other than the MVP(s) point, I just agreed with you on all your points and then stated some random facts about Kobe. I never said a thing about MJ in that post. MJ is nowhere close to my "hero" anyways. Can't really agree to having a self-absorbed, egotistical a-hole as a hero anyways. As great of a basketball player he was, MJ was no "role-model" by any means. That was further reiterated by his HOF speech.

David Robinson, now there's a basketball player that is hero-worthy.

p.s. You can be #2, or #3 on a 'Top 10' list. It is just what you choose to call it. He could be #1 on the Top 100 list, and it still be called a Top 100 list. Now, I'm sure MJ meant it as a slight to Kobe by saying Top 10 Guards All-Time, there's no doubt in my mind that he did. But, that doesn't make his statement invalid. Where did you refute it by the way? It's a true statement that Kobe is Top 10 Guards All Time...to refute means to prove it wrong...

Edit: Oh, and sorry for making you read another paragraph.

We're in agreement here.  My whole point was that here we have the greatest basketball player of all time, who has received the due respect that he deserves, still throwing out verbal subliminal jabs at another great player (Kobe) AND still making claims to flaunt himself (that he could score 100 today).  Classy people do not do this, they move on when their time is up and go on to greater things.

Agreed. Maybe if he'd focus on current events he might be able to run the NBA team he just bought somewhere else other than into the ground...
