    Agreed. It's too hard comparing players of different positions.

    Hey man I'm enjoying it too. It's nice to be able to debate with someone about sports and not have it turn into a name calling contest. That comment about averaging 50 points a game might have been a little excessive, but the players MJ was dominating against were much faster, stronger, and more athletic then those players of the 60's era. MJ didn't use the three point line enough for that to be much of a factor. He was much more athletic then anyone of that era and the guys defending him wouldn't have stood a chance. I do agree with you that the expansion of the 90's thinned out the competition.

    You're argument about MJ being on a stacked team may be true but it's not like Russel had 4 bums on the court with him. John Havlicek, Sam Jones, Tommy Heinsohn, K.C. Jones weren't slouchs either. Havlicek is one of the most clutch basketball players of all time. They were both on great teams but MJ dominated from the shooting guard position. Russel had Wilt Chamberlain to rival in the paint and that was about it. Jordan had to work harder for his points I think.
