Bobby Orr and Wayne Gretzky are two of the best hockey players of all time, and they are constantly in debates over who is the greatest. They are hockey's version, more or less, of LeBron James and Michael Jordan.

Former player and executive Don Cherry made a statement on his podcast about the two players. He was asked if a team made up of five Gretzkys or five Orrs would win in a hypothetical contest. Cherry said (9:58):

"Well, Bobby Orr used to be able to body check. He used to be able to fight, used to be able to hit, and he was a good defenseman. I would have to say, I would say Orrs team, they're winning the cup."
