A) LeBron
B) Bird
C) Magic
D) Jordan

For the record, I would take Magic, then Jordan, then Bird, then LeBron if I were building a team from scratch. Not because Magic was better than Jordan but because no player in history has ever made their teammates betteras well asMagic did.

I knew this was Jordan anyway though. I want a guy who will take over a game and score at will, not someone who is gonna pass it good to his teammates.

What was the point of your nameless stats question?

I thought you were setting it up for everyone to pick Jordan (based on the stats) in order to try and prove a point in the Jordan/Lebron debate. But then, you say you'd take Magic??? based on the stats you listed, Magic has the worst stats of the 4....

Unless I have completely missed your point, I think you have completely negated yourself.

The "worst stats"??? Look again. The only thing LeBron beat Magic in was scoring and 3 point percentage. More rebounds. More assists. More steals. Better shooting percentage and a better free throw shooter.

The reason I would choose Magic if I was starting a team is because he could play all five positions and would cover alot of deficiencies for a start up team. If you need a scorer then he could do it. If you need a rebounder he could do it. If you need someone to create for others then he could do it.

I said in my post that Magic was not better than Jordan.Somehow you overlooked that.

Let me quote your first post here, which had the title of "Pick Your Player To Build A Team Around" (I bolded the player that you chose)
Player A) 27.7ppg 7.1rb 7.0ast 1.7stl .479 FG .744 FT .329 threeptrs

Player B) 24.3 ppg 10.0rb 6.3ast 1.73stl .496 FG .886 FT .376 threeptrs

Player C) 19.5ppg 7.3rb 11.2ast 1.90stl .520 FG .848 FT .303 threeptrs

Player D) 30.1ppg 6.3rb 5.3ast 2.30stl .497 FG .835 FT .339 threeptrs

You said you'd choose player C (which was Magic)....Based off of those stats, why the 17 would you choose "C"???. Option C has "seemingly" the worst stats of the 4 anonymous stats that YOU posted. It was obvious that you set this up for everyone to pick Jordan(D) over Lebron(A)....especially due to the timing of this original post.

By picking player C, you are effectively saying that your first post/question is irrelevant and (according to your selection) the stats of a player mean nothing towards their greatness. Very persuasive of you....**(sarcasterisks)
Read below..
The only thing LeBron beat Magic in was scoring and 3 point percentage.

"Your and idiot" (translation: Are you being serious?) According to your stats, Magic beat Lebron in rebounding by 2 tenths of a point, (0.2) .... seriously? if that's not negligible when comparing 2 players rebounding ability then I don't know what is....

Also, Magic has a "decidedly" higher FG % (than anyone including Jordan and Bird) but has the lowest 3PT average than ANYONE.... to any rational basketball fan, that means that he made A TON of layups/dunks and was not as good of a shooter (comparatively).

Before someone takes this the wrong way, Magic, Bird, Jordan, and Lebron are all the tits. This is just a sports debate. Personally, I'd rather have Magic also (like Hanmudog)... but Hanmudog is completely contradicting himself while trying to call me an idiot at the same time becaused I realized his error.

Hanging up to listen....
