If you break down every basketball career into 3 parts: nba player, non-nba player (college, national teams, other leagues), post player (coaching, executive, commentators, analysis etc), where every part has the same value, who is the person with the best career? Who has all 3 parts (or at least 2) on the highest level? Negative career can overshadow positive. So MJ Charlotte executive career almost eliminates his achievements as a player (joke)😉

Kareem - 3x NCAA, tier S player, 2x champion as assistant coach. Pat Riley - champion as a player, as a assistant and as a head coach. Phil Jackson - 2x as a player, 11x as a coach. Bill Russel - 2x NCAA, 11 as a player, 2 as a coach. One of the greatest of all time. Charles Barkley - mvp, olympic champion, goat in entertainment.

Tell me yours. Who can be in this list potentially?
