The records speak more so of longevity, because he played 20 years in the NHL. If you look at Jordan's career objectively, he only played really 11 NBA seasons. 1986, He broke his foot and missed 64 games, 1994 (retired), 1995 (played 17 nba regular season games) 1999, 2000, (retired) then the last 2 wiard years. There's no doubt Jordan would be the leading scorer in NBA history had there not been unfortunate mishaps which cost him to miss numerous NBA seasons in his prime. It looks like an excuse on text, but it's actually an objective and sensible reason.

You can only go on what took place on the field/court/ice, not this woulda coulda stuff.

So he wouldn't of hit homeruns against Black or Hispanic pitchers? :stopitslime:

Breh he was playing against limited amount of talent. If that is the case than why not Josh Gibson>>>Ruth. Gibson hit more HRs than Ruth but because he only played against blacks it doesn't count for anything. Why can't that argument apply to someone who only played against whites?

SO then make Gibson the Homerun king of Baseball if he hit more, but not the MLB. Same way AFL records don't mean shyt since the NFL absorbed them. But like I said before Bonds used performance enhancing drugs, I can't deny his talent but his power boost shouldn't be equated in.

So because Gibson didn't play in the MLB he can't be better than Ruth:what:?
I can't deny Ruth's talent but him only playing against whites should be equated in. Ruth didn't play against the best talent while Bonds did and dominated. You can say he boosted but so was everyone he went up against. Everyone in baseball has benefited from some form of enhancing because of the technology and medical advances that we have now.






sidenote: the Negro players won 65% of their games against their white counterparts. Think about that for a moment

I never said he couldn't be better, just that in the annals of MLB history Ruth will be ahead of him. I put ahead Aaron ahead of Ruth because he was a better all-around athlete. I was arguing that Bonds shouldn't be higher than Ruth. You can't compare steroids and HGH to better surgeries,health care and rehab.

No, they're not just results off longevity. Seriously, why not just take a look at his records before writing all that?

What can Aaron or Babe Ruth do better than Bonds? Even before Bonds supposedly started using "HGH", they was only better at hitting HRs. And since you can't put him ahead of Ruth then where does Bonds rank according to you?

So do you consider Gibson a better hitter than Ruth?

Power wise of course, I don't know either of their career averages. Hitters top 10 probably, overall top 20.
