"There's no way, with hindsight, I would've ever called up Larry, called up Magic and said, 'Hey, look, let's get together and play on one team...' In all honesty, I was trying to beat those guys."

Well, Karl Malone and John Stockton teamed up for 18 years,

and never won one single NBA championship. Think about that.

David Robinson ain't got a ring before Tim Duncan joined the team.

Shaq ain't got a ring without Kobe and Fisher by his side.

Hakeem ain't got a ring neither when someone was in the league.

Ewing never got a ring.

And someone worked so hard for seven years and still ain't got a ring, 

before two of his teamates played like (and were selected) All Stars.

He did not do it alone.

By the way, he used a bad example.

He never beat those two guys named Larry and Magic at their prime.
