Saw this magazine with MJ on the cover, and flipped through just to see where they rated a few of my favorites.. I personally can't say I agree with this order.. Bird/Bryant/Hakeem I' rate above Tim Duncan.. Magic should be above Shaq...There are others but it seems like they got the first two correct then it went to hell.
