So kareem was the unquestioned leader until he was 41 and entering his final season?:mjlol:

Do you even read the stupid shyt you type before you hit the post button?

Magic already had 3 finals mvps up to that point and had been outscoring kareem since '86, when he got his first mvp.
Arent you the same one who said Nique was a choker?

You CONSTANTLY go at me as if Im a liar.

Riley asked Magic to take on the scoring load in 88’ because Kareem was the unquestioned stuoned leader of the Lakers prior to that season. Those are Magic’s and Riley’s words.

As Kareem Abdul-Jabbar approached 40, Lakers Coach Pat Riley had asked Magic to take on more of the scoring load, in addition to running the team.

Ive heard Magic say numerous times that Kareem was the leader of the Lakers up to that point. Argue with him.

Another thing your 90s NBA loving ass doesnt fet is that prior to that, big men ruled the NBA. The game was played through them. MJ changed everything where he made it an outside in game...prior to that, the fame was played through the post where big men had top dog status. :manny:

The point was that the Bulls peak came at a time when the league’s teams fell off from the decade prior. Im not saying that to take away from MJ, Im saying that it’s ridiculous to slight Kareem for having a stacked team where he wasnt always the Finals MVP. Teams required to be that good where it wasnt just one man who can carry a team to the threshold. Kareem was the lakers unquestioned leader until Riley told Magic to take on the scoring load in 88’....his last year.

Are you even reading the fukking links you post? :what:The link specifically says "1986-87 SEASON OVERVIEW", exactly what i fukking said. Not '88 when kareem was entering his final season like you said.

Straight from your link titled, "1986-87 SEASON OVERVIEW": "As Kareem Abdul-Jabbar approached 40, Lakers Coach Pat Riley had asked Magic to take on more of the scoring load, in addition to running the team. Johnson responded by averaging a career-best 23.9 ppg, while still leading the league in assists with 12.2 apg."

Where the fukk do you see 1988? Are you dyslexic? You just proved my point. Magic ran that team since 86. Proofread everything you write or even think about posting.

there’s one goat, and that’s MJ :manny:
fact is he matched all of those bigs accomplishments arguably did more while he was 6 inches shorter
There’s a lot of advantages to being Jordan’s height compared to Kareem’s as well though. :usure:

You said magic took over in kareem's last year in 88. I said magic was the leader and took over the scoring since 86. You then provided links showing I was right and that you're a buffoon.

Trying to brush it off with a "Who cares? I was only off by a year.:manny:"

:what:You were off by 2 years, you idiot and that was the whole point of me laughing at you. Admittedly by everyone, magic was the leader for 3 years like I said, not 1 like you were saying. You're too stupid to even understand your own damn links.

You're only good to laugh at, and are clearly clueless as to what you are taking about. I feel stupid for having to even explain how stupid you are, you dyslexic fukk.
