Michael's one of those make you think players

[72-10]

What will he do next with the ball? How should I and my team prepare to defend his shit?

[Sulico]

Not at all. He had pretty slim variety of moves, especially late in his career. People knew what he was about to do, but they couldn't do anything about it.

A lot of the “moves” are subtle. Just because he didn’t dribble like Kyrie or whatever doesn’t mean that his game wasn’t incredibly nuanced. If a defender played him well doing one thing he’d change it up. Could be his footwork, angle that he holds the ball, shoulder positioning, where he bumps you, etc.

He thought about all that shit.

Yes, a mediocre passer that can't shoot from range and was a terrible ball hog had the defense wondering what he would do :lol

Reminds me of a quote from Drexler if I remember right. They got a win and Drexler got a key stop and was interviewed. Basically said Jordan had like 10 moves he could have used, and Drexler guessed and got lucky. It was a we won but we aren't going to be able to finish this moment. Said a lot about Jordan that even in a loss he was sewing despair in the other team.


Found the quote. From Idea Man/Paul Allen


“We had our moments against the Bulls. Midway through the fourth quarter of a tight game four in Portland, Clyde tapped the ball away from Jordan and converted it into a dunk, setting off a surge that evened the series at two games apiece. Nearly giddy, I went into the locker room afterward and found Clyde slumped in front of his locker, completely exhausted, an ice bag on every joint. And I said, “Clyde, that was a brilliant steal. You read Jordan perfectly.”

He looked up at me, shook his head, and said, “Stop, stop, you don’t understand. Most guys have two or three go-to moves; Jordan has nine. I guessed right, that’s all. I got lucky. Sometimes you get the bear, but usually the bear gets you.” Clyde knew the score. The Bulls, on the cusp of a dynasty, beat us in six games.”

If MJ was such a mediocre passer who couldn't shoot from range and was a terrible ball hog, why couldn't anyone stop him? Why did he win 6 championships? Why was there FEAR in everyone else's eyes and such CONFIDENCE in his? Give me some of that mediocre passing, lack of shooting from range and ball hogging - I wouldn't mind such deficiencies that resulted in so many spectacular results.

What you Lebron stans don't understand/remember is that no one fears Lebron the way they did MJ. It wasn't a case of lucking into a ring via a Hail Mary shot by someone else/Ray, it wasn't a luck into a ring because the rest of the league isn't ready (and the Clippers choked/Doc did a shitty job managing the Denver series) and he lucked into the the best big man in the league. It was MJ is on the court - he KNOWS you can't stop him and the rest of the players KNOW they can't stop him - that was the feeling for those of you who didn't experience it.

And I'm no MJ fan - he was the most cocky, arrogant S*B - but he sure could back it up.

Of course no one fears lebron. Even Kuzma shoved him like a b*tch to make him play defense
