Micheal Jordan Denial

[quote=bleedinpurpleTwo]I like the trolls. they keep me entertained. I miss Knoe Itawl. and Make It Rain. BULLS is completely absurd, but I find it amusing. guys like that.[/quote]

ya BULLS is an exception. Especially with all the Chicago Bulls and old players bashing posts :roll:

Make It Rain & Knoe don't post here anymore, but from what I saw they didn't just enter random threads and turn a good discussion into **** as often as Kobe trolls did, if at all. Just wait, if L.A. wins it all this year (which is very possible) you guys will see what I'm talking about regarding all these Kobe trolls.

[QUOTE=mjbulls23]well I get the idea but I'm convinced there's no way to stop the trolls on this board. That's why as of recently I'm staying out of any Kobe/Lakers related thread because as far as I'm concerned the trolls outwiegh the good posters like yourself, hotsizzle, Laker4Lyfe, etc...[/QUOTE]
There are only 3 Laker fans (if you want to call them that) that can be claimed as trolls. Considering the amount of Laker fans that post here, that's pretty damn good. I find it funny you're always calling out our fanbase as trolls while ignoring all the others on this site. Get a clue.

I don't even view BULLS as a troll. Sometimes his statements are so absurdly hilarious that I wonder if he's just screwing around with everyone. :oldlol:

I'm not calling out anyone. I've always done my best in the past to seperate Lakers fans, hell even Kobe fans, from the trolls. Off the top of my head, selrahc, KINGD, Poseidon, ababaabababuuba, Jacks3, griffmoney1984, BIGSHOT, eliteballer...

and if you're not a troll I don't see why you take offense.

it's meaningless arguments like this one about fanbases that are a major reason I stay out of Lakers/Kobe threads period.

[QUOTE=Loki]Jordan was more than a little bit better than Magic individually. Magic's advantage was how he could more easily integrate with the team, so if you're going to take him for that fact, that's fine. But it's incorrect to suggest that Jordan was merely "slightly" better than Magic individually -- he was quite a bit better, especially when one considers both sides of the ball (but even if we don't).

Meh :ohwell: ... I'll stick with slightly

[QUOTE=falcon#5]Micheal Jordan was one of the greatest players to play the game but people are going to have to face it sooner or later that they're are players just as good as him if not better.

People are in denial and they will never let anyone be better than Micheal jordan people just wont accept it thats how it is.

People ride off other players before they have even compared them to him because they wont let anyone be better seriously think about it.

woRd OUT[/QUOTE]

No he was the greatest of all time, and no one has proven otherwise thus far. Nobody is even in his class yet, Lebron and Kobe are the only two that have shown glimpses and Chris Paul did this year only.

We are to concerned with the present and future and are trying to find the next MJ that we over praise the top talents to a fault.

Somebody might go past him, but its not close to happening yet.

Hey, no one ever said it was a sin to be wrong. :) :D

Knowing I'm in the minority, I'll just say this. My top 10 of all time is as follows:

1) Magic Johnson
2) Michael Jordan
3) Kareem Abdul Jabbar
4) Bill Russell
5) Wilt Chaimberlain
6) Larry Bird
7) Oscar Robertson
8) Hakeem Olajuwon
9) Julius Erving
10) Shaquille O'Neal

I don't intend to argue this, just wanted to let you all know.

Lucky for you :oldlol:

MJ and prime Shaq are the best and most dominant players in NBA history. Shaq was just insane.. everything after that is debatable but they are the top2 in my opinion. if i had to name another 3 it would be Magic, Bird and Kareem A-J.

and whoever doesnt put Shaq in top 5 at least is crazy. thats all i have to say about that.

^^up :pimp:

I've never seen a better player than Jordan. Kobe has come up short. Great great player, but not quite on MJ's level. Lebron is a guy with a chance to do it, but I doubt it. MJ was like the perfect basketball player. Perfect fundamentals, no weaknesses in his game, out of this world athletacism, a heart as big as his body. Lebron will be great but in a different more inferior way.

When a player comes along that surpasses MJ, there won't even need to be a debate, and then we will know.

i'm all for the evolution of basketball players. if some new cat comes up and leaps beyond all the greatness of the past, all power to him.

but we're still waiting, waiting, and waiting for the next guy to break through and knock our socks off.

the problem is... we haven't seen sh!t yet. no one has come to that level.

since we've already witnessed the best of the best before, our standards are naturally higher. we know what compares to greatness because we've already seen greatness.

however, your standards may be a lot lower because you never saw sh!t. you're just too easily impressed by the fakes since you have no fking clue what the real thing was. that's your problem, and unless there's a time machine, nothing can really cure nor help you.
