Not true. Otherwise, Bill Russell would be considered the greatest basketball player of all time; instead, most rankings have him below Wilt Chamberlain. The amount of rings is important, but it will be diminished by the perceived level of help needed to accomplish it.

No matter how many rings Lebron wins with the Heat, he will not be seen in the same light as those that did it with their original teams built from the ground up. He will always be looked at as a great player that needed to change his scenery to win a title. He'll always be looked at below Jordan.

nobody will surpass Jordan....no matter how many they win. Just something about Jordan that makes him untouchable. Everybody is just fighting for second place, IMO. And i'm not even a Jordan fan

The league as a whole also bites moose nipple compared to when Jordan, Bird, Magic, etc. played. Back then every team had a superstar, and the quality of play was so much better it's almost comical. Then a guy who shot 45% from the field was considered erratic who took too many bad shots...now guys who shoot 38% routinely make the All Star game.

Joakim Noah Apparently Says 'F--k You Faggot' To Fan

r-JOAKIM-NOAH-GAY-SLUR-large570.jpg


an unfortunately unoriginal display of frustration, Joakim Noah of the Chicago Bulls appears to have been caught on camera saying ?F*** you F*****? to a fan.FloppingOut reports that TNT cameras filmed an angry Joakim Noah mouthing back a hateful anti-gay slur to a fan after receiving his second foul early in the first quarter.
Just last month, Kobe Bryant was fined $100,000 for yelling a homophobic slur at a referee. Bryant later released a statement saying, ?My actions were out of frustration during the heat of the game, period. The words expressed do NOT reflect my feelings towards the gay and lesbian communities and were NOT meant to offend anyone.?
Yet, NBA Commissioner David Stern said, "While I'm fully aware that basketball is an emotional game, such a distasteful term should never be tolerated... Kobe and everyone associated with the NBA know that insensitive or derogatory comments are not acceptable and have no place in our game or society."
While there may be no place for derogatory comments, they appear to be taking place at lightning speed in a disturbing trend. Regarding acceptance of different sexual orientations in society, some consider the sports world to be trailing behind. Phoenix Suns president and CEO Rick Welts, who recently revealed to the public that he is gay, told The New York Times, "This is one of the last industries where the subject is off limits? Nobody's comfortable in engaging in a conversation."
UPDATE: Noah apologized for allegedly using a gay slur toward a fan during Miami's Game 3 victory on Sunday night.

D.Rose pogo sticked his way into giving Anthony a facial AND 1 in the first half. It may have been sicker than the Gibson dunk on Wade.

Bulls up 6 early 3rd. They win this, homecourt is back on their side!

EDIT: Now 4. Keep up the intensity Bulls!
