Whose career would you rather have: Jordan's or Abdul-Jabbar's?

The caveat is that everything off the court would be the same. Growing up in the Jordan mass-marketing era made me thing that he was the best player who has ever lived until I heard about Bill Russell's 11 championships in 13 years.

Kind of on the court: Jordan got Phil Jackson, an incredible coach who assigned reading specific to each of his players. A zen master. Pat Riley for Kareem. I say Jordan wins that round. Until you look back at college. Say what you want about Dean Smith, John Wooden is legendarily wise and 4 years of college with John Wooden might have made the difference for Kareem. I'd take Kareem's career here.
In the court of movie reviews: "Airplane" beats "SpaceJam" 100 times out of 100. No contest.
Kareem 2, Jordan 1
