He would've averaged 27/8/9 and had an easier load than his 34/6/6 playoff averages
This idea that Jordan had to average 34 and therefore it was good that he had no scoring help or a weak-scoring sidekick is absurd and really dumb
People are literally saying that Jordan somehow had MORE help by having no scoring help.. it makes no sense
Can't make the playoffs in the Weak West....
Trying to revamp his superteam, but so far no luck....
And now he's the first player in NBA history to get his number repo'ed. The league just slapped this fool in the face.
:roll:
The man just can't stop losing.
:oldlol: When it comes to the criteria for GOAThood, the alts cannot pick a lane to stay in if his life depended on it:
Winning = Bill Russell is superior
Stats = LeBron and Wilt are superior
Longevity = LeBron and Kareem are superior
Instead, the alts desperately try to adjust the 3 of the criteria above in accordance with which player he...
Melo is one of those people who will always be more respected by basketball players than fans who determine how good people are by a formula. Dray, Kobe, KD, and a lot of the “student of the game” types always seem to be over the top in the respect for his skill set. The tough shot, well rounded, clutch one on one types like he and Kobe tend to...
I was listening to an argument about what foods smell and look/sound the best but often aren’t as great tasting as the other senses lead you to believe. Not necessarily overrated and definitely not “bad” just…not as good a finished product meal in your mouth as the smell/sight/sound of them make you feel it should be. Fajitas were a hotly...
...he missed the playoffs in 2002, whereas he won the championship in 2004.
How is it possible to miss the playoffs with a 20.0 ppg averaging Richard Hamilton, when a 17.6 ppg averaging Richard Hamilton is capable of winning a championship as the leading scorer in the finals of the finals winning team?

Title. I left and I had 4500 posts. I come back and I’m under 4K. What gives? And how did so many threads/replies get destroyed?? And if you tell me it was because of the BTE threads getting deleted and that we let BodyBuilding forum win, I’m disgusted.
I mean, it's all true...and extremely embarrassing.
How does a guy that big and apparently dominant, literally have ZERO offensive moves other than a dunk?
Defended by CP3 in the post :roll:
Lazy.
Took the max....Time to earn it...because your defense doesn't matter when the playoffs start, you are exposed.
So Chris Bosh, Dwyane Wade get their Miami numbers retired. But Lebron not? wow.
I think NBA did a big mistake in this one. Mistake like also ECF MVP should have been named for Lebron, and not Larry Bird.
Past his prime, too. At the ages of 32, 33 and 34.
This astonishing feat may never get matched again.
What a friggin beast this guy was. Wherever he went, he instantly became the cornerstone of that team's defense. :applause:

Michael Jordan, not having played a single NBA game in the summer of 1984 (summer before he would join the Bulls) was named to the Olympic team, in those days US Olympic teams were basically college players only.
On a team that had...
Every Sports Network whether on TV, online, or through Social Media right now is talking about the WNBA or showing clips more than ever before. Or am I wrong? I do not recall this much coverage by ESPN, NBA TV, or any other Sports Network. And the amazing this is, is that this still won't do much for the popularity of it. They are trying so...
I have a newfound optimism... and surprisingly, I think it's going to last for another 6 months.
You know deep down in your conservative heart everything will magically improve by mid-October. Things will get a lot better across the board before midterms.
And a few months after the masses are seduced into punching their ticket for the Blue...
Say you made them all the same height, but they retain their proportional dimensions like wingspan, body mass and so on. They also each retain their equivalent athleticism, tho assume bigger guys become a bit more nimble and shorter guys lose a bit of quickness.
How do you see the resulting hierarchy?
Obviously Lebron still remains the GOAT...
I say personally that Kobe wins 2 rings with West's teams from 1961 to 1974.
1960 -1961 Lakers with 1996-1997 Kobe they most likely miss the playoffs altogether.
1961-1962 Lakers with 1997-1998 Kobe they most likely lose in the first round.
1962-1963 Lakers with 1998-1999 Kobe they most likely lose in the first round.
1963-1964 Lakers...

Pippen
That's the only guy on the list
Every other notable sidekick was a go-to player that dominated and was a 1b except Pippen.. Pippen was just a system player that couldn't create his own shot or average more than 14 outside the dynasty chemistry that he grew up in (triangle).
And every above-average sidekick outscores opposing...
