His entire career’s ridiculously overlooked. And his NBA stats, awards, and accomplishments are more than enough to solidify his standing over MJ.

And I’m talking BASKETBALL; not sneakers and marketing campaigns.

I mess with MJ but just not as the game’s best ever.

And for ESPN to have LeBron there, above Kareem, is mad disrespectful to that man’s legacy. I got LeBron, over Bird, as the best SF to ever do it but not the best player to ever do it.
