i really dont think u can compare who was the best of ALL TIME cuz there were so many generations of GREATS like the ones he listed up there...basketball is a game that has been changed so much over a 50 year course !!!!!...styles have changed n so have the rules so some of these great players in the past mite not be able to play the way we do now n some of the great players now mite not b able to play the game as it was in the past....but if i had to pick some1 i think wud FLOURISH in any time gap it wud have to be MICHAEL JORDAN !!!!!!!!
