My point was that most of us are using stats to base our arguments on, so your claim of "you guys just watch too much ESPN" is completely LOL.
What statistical work have you done? Have you done studies where you take stats and compare them to your prior notions based upon watching the games? What I'm telling you is that our community has done that a ton over the past 3+ years. We have guys working in NBA front offices now. We have guys doing podcasts, making websites, trying to come up with winning betting models, and so on and so on. In short, I don't see why you would be so quick to dismiss the findings of people who have done a ton of work on this subject unless you have also done a ton of work. So please do explain to me what type of statistical work you've done and why you've found it to be suboptimal in favor of "watching the games."

Right now, that's the case imo. When Lebron is finished and his body of work is complete, ONCE AGAIN, he could be a top 5 all time player. I never said differently.
Lebron James right now is a better basketball player than Larry Bird ever was. I assume the point of this exercise is to put together the best 5 man team, not to put together a list of the 5 players who have the most awards/titles/accomlishments.

I understand your position, I just don't agree with it.
Again, what are your qualifications? What studies and work have you done? Why are you so quick to dismiss us when we've done so much work/analysis on this subject?
