Re: Vescey on Heinsohn, Pierce

["Dan Forant" <dforant1@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

So what if I wanted to compare Babe Ruth with say.......oh well take your
pick of the best baseball player today. Would you not be able to make a
choice because of different era's, I for one (back to round ball) would take
Bird over Pierce any day and Magic Johnson over them all any day. Was there
ever a basketball player better at playing all positions than Magic? Or do
the era's get into the way?
