"Icon" doesn't really have any merit when you look at the careers of those guys though. Off of purely what they accomplished in Basketball, ALL of those guys could be considered the GOAT that's why it's kind of stupid to say one of those guys is overrated, or that there is in fact a goat when it isn't. They are all the greatest. Sounds like a diplomatic response, but it's the truth.
Like...Why are we even trying to find how KOBE BRYANT is overrated..the thought alone is silly.
Because we should use context and variables when analyzing, at least for me. The simple longetivity factor is one. Sports medicine today and yesterday plays a big role in extending one‘s performance, let a lone shelf life. Such factors play a role in merit comparison for obvious reasons. That is why it is some what unfair in my opinion to just look at statistics, or pure numbers. It‘s better reserved for people whk don‘t really watch the game, much like SAS and anchors who just talk, but never watch the intangibles.
Kinda like how MJ was able to create himself through Nike and that economic boom for the US. Just perfect timing, perfect scenario for himself.
I get what you are saying though.
