Great player for sure......but those are some long shorts. Just took a picture of my HS pictures my wife still has on display above our bed. These are the short shorts I was talking about.

In a ironic twist, my nickname was pistol Peter in HS, but not because of basketball skills.

Nobody mentioned this, I'm surprised, unless that rim was lowered, a white dude dunking especially back in those days is impressive! I doubt Stockton could dunk and Bird was 6'-9" so it would be hard not to be able to.

Bird was far more athletic than he wanted people to know.

And yes, Stockton could dunk. Google it.

Those things are heavy and will rip the sole off your shoe . . . I got in a lot of trouble when that happened . . .

They had a girl? Real or a doll?

Don't overlook the fact she was blind in one eye and could not see out of the other.

That's what my dad always said, that he was blind in one eye and couldn't see out of the other.

Stockton is my all time favorite point guard. At 6'-1" if he could dunk that is impressive.

Spud web could dunk with the best at 5-8 . I never thought anyone would surpass Jordan as the greatest player of all time . But I give the nod to Lebron . At 38 he's playing as well as he's every played . That's zen like to do what he does in Basketball. Jordan faded big near the end of his career . There's always a debate and just my opinion

I would take Lebron over Jordan if I was starting a team. I feel Jordan had a great team/coach in Chicago. If Lebron developed the outside shot that Jordan had, he would be impossible to stop.

LeBron is a more complete player than Jordan. But LeBron doesn't have the competitive spirit of Jordan or Bird.

But for me the GOAT is Russell.

I agree for me Russell was the GOAT. He would pass up his own shots to get his team involved and it paid off in wins.

And he had a competitive spirit to rival Jordan.

Most importantly, 11 titles. The guy could dominate a game without scoring a point.
