Breaking news - NEW SPECIES OF HUMAN!

[QUOTE=The Iron Fist]Jordan was the lebron of his time. Not in the sense of how they approach the game, but in the sense of their physical abilities. People marvel at brons physical attributes as they should because he is a freak of nature, for this time.

[B]Jordan, was the freak of nature for his time. No other players had his speed or strength or athletic ability. Fast forward to todays times, and many players are built physically just like Jordan.

Its called human evolution. He'd still be great but the one advantage he had over his 80s and 90s peers, wouldn't be as evident today.[/B][/QUOTE]

It's called human evolution, you could be MJ if you had a time machine to travel to the 80s.

long ass time ago you never kno what kinda shit u gonna run into back then, stegosaurus? woolly rhinocerous? - who knos at this point it was so long ago its impossible to tell, they hd poor nutrition too. I wouldn't wanna live back then

Evolution is the wrong word, it's advances in nutrition, training and medicine.

When I read 'new species' I was thinking more along these lines:

:lol Aren't you butt-buddies with Blake? :yaohappy:

New research suggests that Homo Jordanicus was actually the missing link between Homo Sapien and Homo Modernnbaathletenesis, a sort of transitional species between the fragile, small, unathletic sapiens and hyper athletic, giant, zone-playing modernnbaathetenesis.

The lead researcher tells me that Jordanicus had some of that hyper athletic genome but not to the degree of say an Eric Gordon or other modern hyper athletic hominids.

However you slice it, Jordan could embarrass anyone of todays NBA. Jordan embarrassed Shaq, Lebron wouldn't stand a chance against Mike.

[B]{yo cavs.... your post is freaking hilarious....} [/B]

This is spectacular news!!

Clearly, people have leapfrogged 2 million years ahead and evolved into super-humans in a single generation!!!!

Fortunately for the world, that brilliant scientist, The Iron Fist, has articulated this for us - he's utterly destroyed the obsolete Darwin's Theory and already formulated the theory to explain this unprecedented event!!

Fortunately for all of us, he's published his Fistian Theory of Mike-o-Lution in elegantly simple terms, that anyone can understand. Now his work is published for the first time in the world's most scholarly scientific journal... ISH!!!

Cavs, I salute your ancillary work; you've done a fine job creating this updated chart showing IronFist's radical breakthrough in human knowledge.

But now, we must all move forward to the much more difficult task that lies before us ~ educating the masses about this new Scientific Discovery....

We mustn't forget to point out how the discoverer of this new theory has joined the ranks of Newton, Galileo, Bach and Einstein!!

I propose a new symbol for the college professors who will be teaching the new science. This cap is an appropriate symbol of our new-found knowledge:

:roll: really hope that original post was meant to be facetious

i'm not going to write a thesis on this, but i always argued this...evolution doesn't work that way. even if you take the sport of basketball as a microcosm, it doesn't make much sense. it's not a 20 year old sport or business and doesn't fall under accelerated sports evolution.

that's why i can understand the mma argument on the same subject. more people are becoming aware of it. more gyms, facilities, knowledge and trainers are becoming involved. athletes are transitioning into it instead of it just being a niche specialty that you either grew up with or attempted to transition into late. now, young people are participating in the full scope of mma instead of just focusing on one area (if they have that drive/passion/foresight)

take a look at the NFL. they also loosened their defensive rules and look what we got....QB's putting up HOF numbers and smashing records, even early in their career. unitas' completion % looks like crap in comparison, but unitas had to deal with cheap shots, less pads, more bump and running/jamming, less defensive penalties, roofless arenas and secondary players that could outright push and shove receivers and lay them out at any point after the ball was snapped. that said, jerry rice would be a beast in any era, just as calvin johnson would be

ok, getting off topic here. the point is, the argument doesn't work in the vacuum of basketball. you guys are not seeing some super athlete that evolved over the past 10 years. you just aren't. maybe HD and slo-mo have you fooled but the different isn't significant at all. btw smarts, fundamentals and heart are timeless

and well played LF, i see your cap and i raise you:

[B]I heard on 60 minutes that Jordan's homoathleticus hostility toward Reggie Miller was more than an interhuman encounter but something beyond that - And this was before this info got out. I also peeped how ungrateful his HOF speech was... like he couldn't give props to homo sapiens... I also notice that refs tended to give him calls other humans couldn't get. Jus sayin.[/B]

:facepalm to all the people that don't get it

Why does this thread have such a bad rating? It's calling out a dumbass for saying stupid shit; it's humorous; it even has a graphic (that's dedication).

Quality thread.

Most idiots dont know that everyday the radiation from the sun advances all DNA it touches. Its a slow ass process, but the sun is what is causing this human evolution and it will continue. One day, we probally will see a 7 footer with the game of a guard, hell, Durant is close enough. The crazy part is, basketball makes the evolution the most visible out of all sports.

Wrong thread. And wow, Sun making the DNA grow, like flowers. Sh1t is deep. :bowdown:

[QUOTE=bmulls]Evolution is the wrong word, it's advances in nutrition, training and medicine.[/QUOTE]

Nope. Humans can evolve within 15 years (shorter than our generation span of 25-30 years). Especially when there is no natural selection going on for basketball players with a vertical of 35 inches or more.

Cowboy thunder ruining the thread :no:

[QUOTE=jb220]It's fact, what Wilt did in his day is impressive but nowadays every team has a Wilt.[/QUOTE]

WTF? Name one team with a Wilt...right.......

Disrespect.

you should win some award for that shit:applause:

This thread is full of win :roll: :roll: and even more :roll: at the people who are either playing stupid or just are.

:roll: :roll:

what I dont get is looking at the rapid rate we are evolving in, shouldn't there be a tons of Shaqticus in next year's draft?

Evolution of a league that was ~90% white in 1960, and ~90% black in 2012.
