First off, my apologies to Lew for helping derail his thread. I like Lew and this thread probably should have been started way sooner. Here is a link to the thread that started it:
Background - it seems some members of this site seem to think there are members of society walking around that are better than the best of all time. Regular street ball players that are better than Michael Jordan. Powerlifters (w/o videos) with better lifts than world record holders, etc.

Well, I played basketball at the pro level and I just missed the NBA so I have plenty of perspective here. I will tell you unequivocally that there are not members of society (street balls players) in any appreciable number, that are even good enough to play in the NBA let alone “better than MJ”. Period. End of story. They are unicorns. And unicorns do not exist.
