The GOAT has spoken. :applause:

[riseagainst]

so humble.

[inclinerator]

he must have died a little inside typing those words

[Im so nba'd out]

Players bow before him
Stans and fans adore him
what a mighty goat we serve

[played0ut]

Lol he doesn't mind. He always wanted to be like Dr. J after retirement. Just fade away into the background. (He said it when he was with the bulls, and after when he retired).

Heh.

[ImKobe]

MJ don't care bout no jersey number, he's fine with being considered GOAT by the majority

[navy]

24 > 23

Gotta get that Kobe number, 1 over Jordan.

[Hey Yo]

At least LeBron doesn't do this.

[MastaKilla]

Lol I know what goat means.

[russwest0]

And why would Jordan care?

It's just a fukking number lol.

[Soundwave]

The funny thing that their stans never really get is Kobe and LeBron are probably the biggest Jordan nut huggers out there.

One basically patterned his whole game/career around trying to be like MJ. I still think wearing 24 and 10 (Olympics) is pretty much motivated by Kobe's obsession with Jordan too (Jordan is the best so his jersey +1 equals the ultimate level of achievement in Kobe's mind).

The other always states MJ is GOAT and wears no.23 because Jordan is his favorite player and he wanted to wear the same number.

I like Jordan but if I was a NBA player I'd pick my own number. These guys take obsession to a new level.

:bowdown: :bowdown: :bowdown:

Fix'd, because GOAT should be capitalized when speaking about MJ.

[KyrieTheFuture]

The only number Jordan owns is 6 aka 6/6 aka 100% aka NNL aka LeBrony < MJob

I know, right :applause:

If Kobe and LeBron were posters on ISH, they'd probably be MJ stans :oldlol:

WTF do you expect them to do? They eat, shit, and think about this game 24/7 so obviously they are going to idolize someone that dominated the very thing they live for. Any superstar in the NBA is obsessed with basketball. They have to be in order to be that good.

They wouldn't be top NBA players without being obsessed like that, hell they might not have gone pro.

Thats ****ing fresh though

[wally_world]

Yeah he owns the entire NBA and its entire 68 year history

[Soundwave]

I get it. I'm a few years younger than Kobe but a few years older than LeBron, so I basically grew up in the same generation as both of them.

I get it, I get what Michael Jordan means to that generation especially.

It's just funny that the stans on this board seem to be completely oblivious to it, if you're a true Kobe or LeBron fan you can't hate on MJ, his basketball DNA is part of who Kobe and LeBron are.

It would be like a Jordan-stan hating on David Thompson (who clearly influenced Jordan's game) ... that would be totally retarded.

[livingby3's]

Yeah. I don't think most players really care.
Just like the many other comparisons people like to make.
Fans care more and are actually more sensitive than what the actual players care about.

What Jordan said

"I'm cool with it, I don't own a number."

What Jordan meant

"I'm cool with it, I'll always be the greatest #23."

That's a good picture. Reminds me of when Wilt tried to pull shaqs arm off. Cept bron is a grown man and probably has more raw str than mj does, but he's still getting sonned. Of course da alpha handshake is wack, but Jussayin.

Edit: otoh forgot bron is a leftie.

What do you mean lets be real?... Kobe even said he idolized MJ.

[DMV2]

And why would Jordan care?

It's just a fukking number lol.
The ESPN obsession on LeBron is getting fcking retarded. A few days ago they did a segment on his number changing.

So fcking stupid... :facepalm
