including according to you. Because that was not the case in the mid-80s at the height of their rivalry in the middle of their primes when they were neck-and-neck in ring count. But somehow it had pretty much become the consensus after Magic surpassed him in ring count, yet aside from that their career achievements and accolades remained so closely matched (both 3x MVP, 10x All-NBA, 12x All-Star, etc.)
