Literally auto mechanics made All Star Games.

Literal grocery baggers became starting players.

It was a dark time for the NBA so the league, Stern, and Nike had to Hype up Jordan to make it look like he was something special. The reason for this is the face of the league used to be Larry Bird and Jordan was winless against bird in the playoffs (0 for 6) so how are they going to hype this guy up when he was 0-6 vs Bird.

You mean top 10 at the time. Not all time. With the influx of new era players he is barely top 50. No. Not even that. Not top 100. As he is a Derozan at best... so not top 100.

But when I watch old footage of 90's ball, it's like playing old NES games (literally and figuratively) sure it seemed amazing back then, but compared to today it's grainy 8 bit pong

you just immediately realize how far less the athleticism and talent pool there was

WELP this is the truth and some dont want to admit but I know what you mean I do the same shit when I watch a Mike highlight I think what the hell are these peeps doing in a NBA league they have no true skills. Its like the Mike Myth sorta similar to where he is just a myth now like the person who caught a fish 30 years ago and each year you tell the story the fish gets bigger and bigger.

Stop lying. The guy that just won Finals MVP last year doesn't look as good as MJ did 30 years ago. Grainy footage of MJ sh*ts on Lebron aesthetically. Even 98 MJ would draw more viewers than stiff @ss LeBron playing at his peak. :oldlol:

No.

And the more open man-to-man defense of the day makes it look like they didn't play good defense simply because the passing lanes are more open.:rolleyes:

That was a typical poor block attempt by Shaq - he didn't rotate quickly enough and then made little effort defensively after that to even rise up on an already skying MJ.

And unlike everyone else on this forum, I can write coherent English! Goteem!

The main takeaway here is MJ shitted on guys like Hornacek and Bogues while Lebron got shitted on by guys like Barea and Jason Terry.

MJ had to play during rules where you were actually allowed to play physical defense, unlike the rules of today. :applause:

It's true that the Bulls started 19-0 against a franchise that matured into a playoff team, a franchise that had Glen Rice and Steve Smith. Let's say you have a franchise that has Glen Rice and Steve Smith just for starters - how many games do you think it takes this team to get a win against the 90s Bulls?

And it's kind of strange, 'cause I seem to recall Jordan being guarded by 6'6" Ron Harper (not 6'6" Craig Ehlo) and 6'7" Byron Russell (not 6'4" Jeff Hornacek).

then we haz
6'7" Reggie Miller
6'7" Clyde Drexler
6'7" Anthony Mason
6'6" Hersey Hawkins
6'4" Gary Payton

Yeah, I'm calling BS on that claim, I doubt Hakeem would say that.

If by more skilled they mean running around on the perimeter as glorified three point shooters then I don't know. What I do know is that Big Men today don't have none of the footwork or post moves that the 90s Bigs had, not even close.

You don't know the duties of a "president of basketball operations."

On June 14, 2011, the Charlotte Hornets hired Cho as their new general manager, promoting previous GM Rod Higgins to president of basketball operations.

Stay looking retarded, fool :oldlol:

Nice, but why couldn't he beat this guy 1 v 1 :confusedshrug:

"The Bobcats probably wished they could have taken Kidd-Gilchrist's teammate Anthony Davis, yet Michael Jordan was left to make a decision between Kentucky's second-best defender or Florida shooting guard Bradley Beal.

Ultimately, Jordan probably made the wrong decision, again."

That's why whenever I play someone 1-on-1 and I'm giving them a lead, I only give the opponent an 8 point lead (going to 11 by 1's)... I learned the hard way that even the biggest stiffs can hit a lucky shot or 2

MJ always had issues with his gambling skill - in this case, he didn't set the game up correctly to mitigate for luck and/or adrenaline-inspired buckets .. :confusedshrug: .. certainly NOT the goat gambler

If MJ was really the GOAT he wouldn’t have got scored on at all by a damn banker :roll: Imagine LeBron letting a banker score on him :oldlol:

You or I could score a couple buckets on Lebron, especially if he was half-assing it

I know I could... I have to many NBA players before - Raja Bell is a better defender than current Lebron and I can score on Raj at will, especially in 1-on-1

Raj is a size mismatch for me.. it's a big mismatch in the post

I might 7-0 skunk him if I get the ball first

He's quick and strong so he might skunk me if he gets the ball first too - at a certain level, nobody can stop anyone 1-on-1 with no shot clock .. that's why it's no surprise that John Rodgers scored on MJ - Rodgers was a former D1 player and was hella crafty.. Any D1 player can score on an NBA players on a island playing 1-on-1

True. I lit Isaiah Morris up when I was in high school and he was starting for the Razorbacks. I was nowhere near D1 level. I just got hot and was wetting the net from all over the floor. I would have gotten smashed if he was serious but I could score a bucket or two.

He played a year for the Pistons so technically I scored on an NBA level player and I was more the play in the park type dude.

No I really did light him up. I was excited because he played for the home team. He was there to help recruit my high school teammate and I wanted to prove I was on that level too. I wasn't but on that night I was.

My friend is 6'6" and went on to play for Ole Miss. I went to Morehouse and that was that.
