As a SoCal born Celtics fan and Laker hater, I would even have to put Magic first. He knew how to lead and drive his team. Bird second, and in all honesty, I'd put someone else before Jordan. He was and still is the most overrated of the greats. The Kobe of the 80s and 90s, just without the free pass on fouls.

The Kobe of the 80s? lol

DOES NOT COMPUTE

I hate Kobe Bryant so much and am appalled that "The Kobe of the 80s and 90s" is an actual phrase.

Gag me with a damn spoon.

To clarify, MJ may have won 6 rings, but how many of them were won by stellar play from Rodman, Pippen, or Kukoc? How many of them without?

For the longest time, they said Kobe couldn't win without Shaq. That was true until they got Fisher back and then made that underhanded trade for Gasol.

Jackson coached the Bulls back then the same way he coaches the Lakers now. Kobe/Jordan scores 30+ points while the rest of the team does nothing. It's only when the other teammates are more involved that they get the win.

I agree and that's how it should be. There are few things more boring than seeing a one player team.

Michael Jordan hands down.
