Blah, blah and no knowledge of NBA history

Hi,
I just read this article.
Nothing new that we haven't heard or read in the last few days. But what stopped me in my track: "... LeBron James commands more respect than anyone not named Michael Jordan in NBA history ..." (bald font is mine). I thought that NBA started before '80s...
Looks like this guy, Sam Sheehan, did the same mistake as Lebron when he decided to "honor" number 23 and insulted number 6.

AK,

I see your point.

Somebody forgot Russ, Jabbar, Chamberlain, and a few others.

Regards

With respect as the key word - I have to agree with both AK and NYCelt.

Don't worry, I will never forget Russell!!!!

LeBron will be remembered, he is "special" and I use that word with many meanings to it

When I hear "special" I think of Dana Carvey in Church Chat. You can hear him use the phrase at 4:53 of this SNL clip. Just wait past the Zantac ad.
