playing through injuries, winning an MVP, getting All-Star MVP's, racking up First/Second NBA All-Defensive Team spots (deserved or otherwse, whatever, I'll take it), Olympic Gold Medals, helping great but underachieving bigs win rings they didn't have before teaming up with him, and being the one guy in his generation that people persist in trying to unearth anyone and everyone that can be remotely considered better than, and being the one name consistantly mentioned as the best his position has ever seen with the lone exception of the virtually unquestioned GOAT?

I'm not sure, but whoever it is, I'll take that guy.
