Kareem is arguably the greatest player of all-time. People give it to Jordan because of his off the court appeal. Everyone wanted to 'be like Mike'.

@carmeloanthony7793 7 лет назад

likemikegenerationx2 I want to be like kareem

@likemikegenerationx2 7 лет назад

TrapxGod Leafy Yeah it would be cool to have great post moves like Kareem. But every one wanted to jump and dunk like MJ. I don't blame them.

@JAWrightonline 3 года назад

And were there any rule changes to make the game of basketball harder for Michael Jordan? I'm with you, Deng.

@RobwLPOC 3 года назад

Wilt Chamberlain caused a few rule changes as well. Opposing player saw him take a couple steps jump from the free throw line and dunk it down instead of shooting a free throw. Before he had a chance to ever do it in a game, they made a rule that your body could not cross the line

@jayjaymejia4149 2 года назад

@jeannejansen4023 Год назад

They've changed the rules many times because a player was too good or it was too easy for them to dominate. Charles Barkley had this happen too.

@Karma-hy6ki 4 года назад

Tyler Hingleton oscar was great but if u also take into account the era he played in then it would also diminish his legacy a little like wilt and Bill Russell. If u are looking at stats than according to u westbrook would also be a top 10 player all time which ain’t true

@Karma-hy6ki 4 года назад

Tyler Hingleton I’m just using ur debate cuz if one looked at stats they would be similar for both of them. The league changes in many ways and it would also be difficult to adjust to some things in this era, y’all don’t give any credit to the ppl in this era

@Karma-hy6ki 4 года назад

Tyler Hingleton my top 10 players of all time 1. Jordan 2. Kareem 3. Lebron 4. Magic 5. Wilt 6. Bill Russell 7. Larry bird 8. Tim Duncan 9. Kobe 10. Shaq All nba first team all time C: Kareem Pf: Duncan Sf: Lebron SG: Jordan PG: Magic Oscar is great but would be between 11-20
