How much would this forum improve if you got rid of the Jordan stans?

[hateraid]

Traffic? Traffic? Are we taking about TRAFFIC??? Not the game I love but traffic.

It seems to be the only reason 3ball is still here. Traffic. Sure the quality of the board drops immensely, but at least we have traffic.

In your honest opinion does posters like 3ball, 2muchknowledge, and kiddlovesnets who obsessively pump up Jordan and absurdly trash LeBron have a place on here? Is there any potential to have rational basketball talk?

The bolded above sounds like you're simply mad about the facts people post that shed light on the fabricated nature of lebron's resume

[Uncle Drew]

Let's just say this: if it were 3ball laying under Chauvin's knee, people across the US wouldn't bother raising a protest.

As much as it would if you got rid of bron stans

[mehyaM24]

they make jordan look worse lol. no joke i held mj with higher esteem before posting on here. ya since then there are players who've improved their careers, but i never looked at jordan under a micrsocope before. now i do. the arguments by his fanboys have made me dig deeper - and what do you know? jordan's shit stank too.

i feel for the intelligent jordan fans. there are few left on ish, but many of them packed their bags and hauled ass.

I browse this board but to be honest I post more on RealGM these days. That place is also full of stans but if you troll or spam you get banned as you rightfully should. I'm 100% in favor of banning 3ball if it will stop trolling on all sides.

When comparing goat candidates, the details are ALL that matter

So who cares that Jordan won 6 titles

It's the details that he won without super-teams or 1b's and never lost with a 1 or 2 seed (6-0) that separate him from everyone

[Real Men Wear Green]

Less than if we got rid of the idiot James Stan's. But it would help a little.

Problem is there's bron stans just as bad. Then there's the steph stans. You'd have to get rid of more than just mj stans.

[tontoz]

I would argue that the Jordan stans are worse although I dislike both.

LeBron is still playing. Jordan retired almost 20 years ago. Let it go FFS.

Agreed but the Steph fans are not annoying. You've got 2-3 guys who make a thread after a big game which is ok. Ditto for that Kawhi stan HBK something but he isn't annoying and doesn't make too any threads. But 3ball and these Lebron stans make 5 to 10 threads a day talking about the same shit over and over. It gets to the point that I appreciate Curry and Kawhi stans in a sense that we get to talk about something else.

Yeah mj and bron stans are definitely the worst

Part of the appeal of this forum is that it isn't as dry as RealGM. I think both have their place. This is more of a bar talk site. 3ball should have been cut off about 20 shots ago, and he's off in the corner rambling loudly, and most of what he says doesn't make any sense because he's plastered and can't string together multiple thoughts in a coherent manner. But then again, at this point he's part of the atmosphere of the joint. Maybe he drives away newcomers and regulars, but maybe his ramblings and the people yelling back at him is the main draw. Who knows, but it's a rambunctious joint which is fun if you're not in the mood for whispered conversations over expensive Scotch while seated in leather chairs next to an enormous fireplace and high vaulted ceilings.

I never cared about Lebron's resume. This is a fabrication of all Jordan stans

[hateraid]

I feel Lebron stans are a product of Jordan stans. Kind of like normal people reacting to the woke left. Lose the Jordan stans and the Lebron stans disappear. Not the other way around.

Perfect description. Although the guy that over consumed (3ball) should have been put in a cab and sent home. Think about the front page here. It's the result of 3ball's insanity and the board retaliating. It's exhausting. The problem is 3ball revel's in it. It's not healthy and it's a bad look for the NBA forum. as a newcomer I'd be turned off. And as an old vet it's an eye sore and I tend to participate because there's literally nothing else to talk about. I started a thread about Huerter that was crickets. yet bashing 3ball will likely go on for 10+ pages.

Good description for that clown. Still don't know why people entertain his BS. He's worth a few one liners, maybe a smiley and gif. Tops. Let 3bot starve for attention, something he YEARNS for.

I started to check out RealGM when the pandemic hit, and while it for sure had legitimate basketball discussion and a LOT more traffic, I found the experience to be rather dull. After a few months I genuinely lost interest in viewing that site, I just felt like they discuss basketball in a very joyless manner, just posting an endless stream of numbers with very few interesting exchanges. They crack down on trolling a little too harshly there, any joking around seems to get either your thread locked or your account banned.

The perfect balance would be somewhere between RealGM and here, where you can have legitimate basketball discussion while also being able to joke around and actually have fun while posting.

I think that's what we have here

But I'm going to start following the games and commenting on other things as the playoffs get closer

I use RealGM for the Wizards board which is pretty active. I don't post on the regular board.

[mehyaM24]

i dont know how yall post on multiple forums lol. especially two talking about the same thing. from what i heard about the other forum is that trolling is less acceptable. the racism and spam here would've been dealt with long ago. with that however also comes stricter moderating. i like lebron but it feels like that place is oversaturated with his contingent. any real criticism of his could be seen as "trolling". that is lame.

[Ainosterhaspie]

I don't bother much with the General Board over there very much. It tends to be like this forum, but not as entertaining. The Player Comparison board on the other hand has highly informative discussions and frequently delves into topics other than MJ/LeBron. Not that there isn't plenty of that too, but you can learn a lot about the history of the game and delve into some high quality analysis there too.

You are solely to blame for your crap posting. Complaining that you write stupid troll crap in retaliation is a weak excuse.

[Smoke117]

3ball is really the only insufferable one who still post regularly. The problem is he never shuts the **** up and is the equivalent of half a dozen insane Jordan stains.

What about slick who stans bran with his multiple dups (TheCorp, Shooter, FromDowntown, LeCroix, SpaceJam2, etc.)? Also spams in a similar way but nobody seems to notice it.

[2much_knowledge]

I feel flattered to be mentioned lol. Cause im new and the first weeks, i only posted different, serious and varied stuff, but got 1 - 3 replies at most. Since i decided to give them their same medicine, the replies multiplied and now they can't take what they dish lol

3ball bothers them but light, 8ball, coorporation, goatest, Rico, hey yo and shooter post so much repetitive nonsense and for some magical reason, it doesn't bother o.p.

Fultz is just crazy

Improve in what aspect? For people who like mostly rational discussion, this is not the right forum. But for people who like trolling, replying to trolls, calling names, sometimes rational discussion, stanning, attracting attention, etc, this board is quite nice. It's like a rowdy bar where sometimes women flash their tits for attention and sometimes drunken fights break out.

This. There are literally a few MJ stans, there are probably 4-5x as many LeBron stans. And as delusional as 3ball is sometimes, he consistently criticizes a top 30 player. LeBron stans consistently try to criticize and dethrone the greatest player of all time. You got some of these guys claiming he's not even top 10. So which is worse?
