doing some era research and analysis. looking for the VC/Tmac/Ron Artest/Sprewell type of equivalentMJ, Nique are in the VC tier of athleticism. Larry Nance, Pipp, Hill, Penny, are in that Frobe/ Wade/ Tmac tier. I wouldn't consider Artest athletic. He's super strong with great lateral movement but he lacks the top speed, hops and balance to be put into the elite categories.

Some kid 15 years from now will be asking the same thing as you about the 2000s, when they don't know who VC/Tmac/Ron Artest/Sprewell are.

On on a different note, who is the mod who deleted my thread that strickly show the FGA and points scored stats of Kobe, Jordan and Lebron. Seriously, why would they delete that, unless they were a stan that felt threaten, out of all the threads to delete they delete that one. Will this thread get deleted since it's a troll thread?

MJ, Nique are in the VC tier of athleticism. Larry Nance, Pipp, Hill, Penny, are in that Frobe/ Wade/ Tmac tier. I wouldn't consider Artest athletic. He's super strong with great lateral movement but he lacks the top speed, hops and balance to be put into the elite categories.
Larry Nance should be in the top tier.

players like Penny and Grant Hill don't really fall in the time frame

why not? penny's best years are from 93-97.

Yes, I've been quite curious about this as well. People are always going on about this "Air Jordan" guy. The way he is spoken of leads me to believe he is a famous movie actor, but I have yet to confirm
