Who's the better player in your opinion

Michael Jordan was the better scorer Larry Bird was a better passer and rebounder Jordan was better on defense Bird was a better shooter and FT shooter Jordan won more championships but never had to deal with the Showtime Lakers like Larry did so who do you think was the better player.

BQ: Also what do you think of this quote by Pat Riley "If I had to choose a player to take a shot to win a game I'd choose Michael Jordan, if I had to choose a player to take a shot to save my life I'd pick Larry Bird

What's your favorite NBA quote

“A winner is someone who recognizes his God-given talents, works his tail off to develop them into skills, and uses these skills to accomplish his goals.” Larry Bird

“Leadership is getting players to believe in you. If you tell a teammate you're ready to play as tough as you're able to, you'd better go out there and do it. Players will see right through a phony. And they can tell when you're not giving it all you've got. Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It's being able to take it as well as dish it out. That's the only way you're going to get respect from the players.” Larry Bird

“I've got a theory that if you give 100 percent all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.” Larry Bird

“I really don't like talking about money. All I can say is that the Good Lord must have wanted me to have it.” Larry Bird

“This is a tough game. There are times when you've got to play hurt, when you've got to block out the pain.” Shaquille O'neal

"I'm tired of hearing about money, money, money, money, money. I just want to play the game, drink Pepsi, wear Reebok." Shaquille O'neal

“There is a lot of pressure put on me, but I don't put a lot of pressure on myself. I feel if I play my game, it will take care of itself.” Lebron James

"Don't underestimate the heart of a champion" Rudy Tomjanovich

“What I'm doing right now, I'm chasing perfection.” Kobe Bryant

“I'll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it's sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.” Kobe Bryant

“The guy said NBA players are one in a million, ... I said, 'Man, look, I'm going to be that one in a million.'” Kobe Bryant

“These young guys are playing checkers. I'm out there playing chess.” Kobe Bryant

“My parents are my backbone. Still are. They're the only group that will support you if you score zero or you score 40.” Kobe Bryant

“I've pretty much done all I can here and, you know, God will carry me the rest of the way, so I'm pretty comfortable with that.” Kobe Bryant

“I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” Michael Jordan

“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.” Michael Jordan

“There are plenty of teams in every sport that have great players and

never win titles. Most of the time, those players aren't willing to

sacrifice for the greater good of the team. The funny thing is, in

the end, their unwillingness to sacrifice only makes individual

goals more difficult to achieve. One thing I believe to the fullest

is that if you think and achieve as a team, the individual accolades

will take care of themselves. Talent wins games, but teamwork and

intelligence win championships.” Michael Jordan

“I can accept failure, everyone fails at something. But I can't accept not trying.” Michael Jordan

“I've always believed that if you put in the work, the results will come. I don't do things half-heartedly. Because I know if I do, then I can expect half-hearted results.” Michael Jordan

“Obstacles don't have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don't turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.” Michael Jordan

“There is no "i" in team but there is in win” Michael Jordan

“I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot . . . when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.” Michael Jordan

“I know fear is an obstacle for some people, but it is an illusion to me . . . Failure always made me try harder next time.” Michael Jordan

“To be successful you have to be selfish, or else you never achieve. And once you get to your highest level, then you have to be unselfish. Stay reachable. Stay in touch. Don't isolate.” Michael Jordan

“Just play. Have fun. Enjoy the game.” Michael Jordan

With the comparisons between Lebron and Jordan today especially after Pippen's comments I wanted to ask about another comparison that was brought up on espn and that was the comparison between Dirk and Bird. I would say Larry Bird was better but what is your opinion and also who do you think is overall closer to his counterpart Dirk Nowitzki to Larry Bird or Lebron James to Michael Jordan.

what's your take on this honestly it pisses me off I mean Tupac is a legend and now Soulja Boy gets to play his part seriously I feel like this guy in this video.

not that I'm promoting violence I mean I love watching basketball but who doesn't enjoy it when it happens shame it doesn't happen much any more in the 80's and 90's it happened a lot more often. It shows just how much more physical the game was back then.

I bring this video to your attention because even though I don't agree with the list (I think Kobe is to low or high depending on how you look at it he's top 10 in my book) and (Wilt is to high not sure he would be in my top 5) I think it's a well made video and so I ask you what would your top 20 NBA players be.

since some people like to say Lebron's better because his stats are superior to Kobe's a thought came to me since Kobe and Lebron play different positions wouldn't it be better to compare them to other players at their own position. I took the 5 main categories points, assist, rebounds, blocking, and stealing and this was my result. Oh keep in mind this is just from this past season no other seasons.

Lebron points

2nd among SF's in PPG

Kobe points

1st among SG's in PPG

Lebron assist

1st among SF's in APG

Kobe assist

2nd among SG's in APG

Lebron rebounds

tie-5th among SF's in RPG Luol Deng and Lebron averaged the same amount

Kobe rebounds

1st among SG's in RPG

Lebron blocks

3rd among SF's in BPG

Kobe blocks

8th among SG's in BPG

Lebron steals

2nd among SF's in SPG

Kobe steals

2nd among SG's in SPG

it's up to you on who you think dominates at their position better but for me it's definitely Kobe
