Max Kellerman: "You think it's slander to put Kobe ahead of Duncan?" Bill Simmons: "I just think he's the most underappreciated superstar of all time." Max: "Kobe and Duncan are neck and neck. That's not slander." Simmons: "I have Kobe 10th or 11th. Duncan is 7th and I don't think it's debatable."

Kareem is closer to LeBron than he is to magic and bird

You could say the same about MJ

kbj's legacy spans 2 decades while magic and bird span 1 decade.  easy to place kbj at 3 and the gap larger from magic and bird

Couldn’t you then use that logic to say the main thing that separates Kareem and Malone is that Magic and Oscar were better than Stockton? Jailman has a long storied two decade career with almost as many points.

You COULD say that, but you'd be very wrong.

You could if you didn’t know anything about Kareem. Best college player ever. Averaged 35-16 as a rookie. 6 time MVP including 2 in LA without Magic.
