Listening to all the Kobe vs. Lebron talk got me thinking back to the 80's when the NBA still had some class and people actually did something called a jump shot. Granted, I was a child of the 80's being born in the mid 70's, but if you look at the rundown, it is hard not to say cats like Jordan, Bird and Magic would not school the glorified gang bangers of today.

Tit for tat, best of best, what era was the best and why?

Also, 1980's vs 2000+, I think you have to make the line:

80's -10.0

Thoughts?
