LeBron...unless he's facing the C's. The guy is like a video game at times.
Favorite all-time player not a C- Magic Johnson. Greatest player of all time, IMO.
I know that may be Blasphemy, but the guy was unreal and made everyone better that he played with, unlike MJ.
Unlike MJ?
Making players around him better is what you use to separate Magic from Jordan? Thats probably Jordan's biggest advantage in any comparison. Jordan's ability to make his teammates better allowed the bulls to get 6 rings (probably shoudlve been 8 ) with a lot of average to below average players playing prominent minutes. Luc Longley, Will Perdue, Craig Hodges, Bill Cartwright, Bill Wennington, Kerr, BJ Armstrong, Stacey King, Scott Williams, and Jason Caffey.
And even for his solid teammates from 90-93...i wouldnt exactly call Paxson and Horace Grant, James Worthy and Michael Cooper or Byron Scott.
but to answer IP:
former c's: gomes, bowen, and al
non c's: Jared Dudley, Wade, CP3
Well said my man. Anyone who can suggest that Jordan did NOT make his teammates better during his championship years, clearly never watched those Bulls team play a game.
And to answer the initial question:
Favorite ex-Celtic: Big Al
Favorite non-Celtic: Steve Nash
Favorite non-Celtic from the past: Tough choice between Scottie Pippen and Penny Hardaway
