Letters to Sports: Kareem Abdul-Jabbar still greater than LeBron James?

Sorry to disagree with you, Bill Plaschke, but you are old enough to know better.Trying to name a basketball GOAT is like trying to name the best automobile ever made - you just can't.Each basketball era has its own "greatest" list, and you can't really compare the game as it was played, the rules as they were, the competition and makeup of teams as they stood, or the individual players from generation to generation, at least not without a whole lot of qualification to equalize the comparison.
