It's not silly, it's just factually correct. The fact that they had two of the top 50 players all time is why they never saw a Finals elimination game. Jordan was obviously better, but without Pippen, I seriously doubt that would have been the case. Before Pippen, Jordan was 1-9 in the playoffs, with no winning seasons. My point is, Jordan wasn't even as good as the mythical figure he's become in many people's eyes. He was/is the best ever. I personally think LeBron is better, but I recognize I'm in the minority there.
To your point about the depth of talent, it's hard for me to believe that with a much larger pool of talent to pull from now, there is less depth. I just think that lower tier players are better than ever, so it's harder for the good players to separate themselves. I will admit, fundamentals are much worse now because most everyone relies on athleticism over technique.
