The rules were tightened specifically to reign in Chamberlain's game but were relaxed during the Jordan era.

I think Earvin Johnson is underrated in GOAT discussions.

Sometimes the best defense is a great offense.

My one detraction from Wilt would be the depth of talent in the NBA in

Bill Russell is completely overrated and shouldn't be in the top 5.

Those are all good points........I probably buy in a little too much

A lot of the national guys who go on and on about Russell, don't care enough

I agree with the link ranking Russell 5th on that list, however I do not agree

Great points. You are absolutely right, he would be a 4 in any other era.

The question is: "Should James be in the top 5?"

I had never seen that backboard break video with Jordan. Where was that?

It was an exhibition game in Italy in the mid 80's, I believe.
