No, it's not fair. In fact, it's crazy.

Jordan never played Hakeem in the playoffs.

malone would have a ring. barkley would have one. so on and so on. id bet my life bigs like duncan and ben wallace and shaq would be not as great as they are now if they played in mjs era. kobe is lucky to be so young. put him in mjs era and he is a great player...but no legend.

Hmmm... I wonder if Jordan would have any ring had he played in Bird's and Magic's era... Oh, Oops! He did!

imagine mj with a decent big, let alone shaq! seriously, taking away pippen isnt as big as taking away shaq.

Imagine Kobe playing with a All-Time top-20 talent. And arguably the best defender and rebounder the games has ever seen...

kobe will NEVER win a ring again...

Why?

West was motivated by a relentless drive to succeed. Years after a game in which he hit 16 of 17 shots from the field, sank all 12 free throw attempts, and notched 12 rebounds, 12 assists and 10 blocked shots, West told the National Sports Daily, "Defensively, from a team standpoint, I didn't feel I played very well. Very rarely was I satisfied with how I played." This obsessive quest for perfection was a constant during West's playing years, and it continued in his later roles as coach and general manager of the Lakers and, currently, as president of basketball operations for the Memphis Grizzlies.
