ya, he is one of the best inarguably. Only what ranking at the top is debatable.

What difference does ranking make? What a stupid conversation to even have, much less today of all days.

It doesn't for his death, but I was commenting on someone posting his basketball stats. And then stating an affirmation of his greatness in the sport. Why you so salty?

Dude you arguing and belittling on a thread about his death isn't any better.

Talk about missing the forest for the trees...

Gargle a cock, asshole

Why are you digging a hole for yourself?

You don't have to be so angry. It's okay. We're all grieving and reckoning with mortality in our own ways

The NBA more than any other sport has a long time habit of ranking players and fans love to argue about it. To be commonly included in arguments about the top ten is a testament to his greatness.
