Nice post.
It's kind of generational to some degree, which is why youth today will always say Lebron or Kobe is the greatest ever.
To me, the 3 greatest basketball players I've seen are Jordan, Bird and Erving.
I think Dr J gets forgotten in this day and age, but his skill set, the moves he had, the grace and ease with which he played, imo his level of talent hasn't been duplicated.

i agree...MJ most likely is thee best!!
its hard to compare because(of course) the greats of today didnt play with Jordan or them guys. I do notice nowadays the athletes are bigger and more athletic compared to say..The Celtics of the 80s. One of thee best teams ever...but look at the players and their style. More of a jump shot/lay up type of style instead of the run n gun/dunking type like today.
so...its hard to compare.
just like with baseball. no way to compare Mantle,Ruth,Aaron to Bonds,A-rod,Jeter and those guys. Much bigger(naturally...but also bc of juice) and more show-boating than the guys in the past.

You just have to go by the rule of thumb that the greats of each generation would be great regardless of the generation.
The caveat of that, is that quite a lot of marginal players pre-integration that had long, successful careers would probably not have been starting players post-integration. We're talking mostly pre 1960's in the 3 major sports.
Wilt, Kareem, Elgin Baylor, Oscar Robertson, Rick Barry, Pistol Pete, Dr J, Bird, they'd all be tearing it up if they were in their prime right now.

i still watch sports but im not into it like i use to be.
Kansas City Chiefs were my team...Derrick Thomas years. i lost interest when he died.
Doc Gooden,Darryl Strawberr,Ken Griffey Jr.... when they were gone...i lost interest in baseball. dont get me wrong...i love a good Yankees game..
but just lost it.
and in NBA...after Shawn Kemp...David Robinson..Shaq...late 80s-early 90s..
i dont watch basketball anymore.
