5. That's unfair, since they changed a lot of the rules between the two eras when they played...

...and a lot of them were changed BECAUSE of the Wilt. But then, Jordan changed the rules once again...

It's a bit like comparing Honus Wagner to Derek Jeter.

19. Yes, but...

...they changed the rules to make it HARDER for guys like Wilt, and they changed the rules to make it EASIER for guys like Jordan.

That's an important distiction.

12. He was coming out of a store I was going in ....

I found myself staring at the stomach of the tallest black guy I had ever seen. As I craned my neck back I realized who it was.

13. That may be true...

...but only Kareem Abdul-Jabbar had the balls to go up against the ass kicking machine that was Bruce Lee.
