Westbrook's dominance proves how easily MJ would be the best player today

[QUOTE=Cocaine80s]Westbrook is more athletic than Jordan[/QUOTE]

Here comes the 3ball gif spam.

MJ was a great player, but was also greatly overrated. He wouldn't even be top 3 today. Top 5 definitely though.

Who would you put ahead of him?

[QUOTE=JT123]Jordan in today's era = JR Smith without the 3 point shooting. :sleeping[/QUOTE]

Westbrook looks natural.

[QUOTE=SamuraiSWISH]I'm talking about mid range scoring skill set, and ability. Come on bruh, I know you're smarter than this ... keep up.

If we're ranking these specific players abilities to score from mid range / post:

1) MJ: 6 rings, 6 Finals MVPs
2) Kobe: 5 rings, 2 Finals MVPs
3) Wade: 3 rings, Finals MVP
4) LeBron: 2 rings, 2 Finals MVPs

It's no coincidence that Bron didn't finally win until he could score consistently in that area of the floor. Which was the 2012 season. It's a skill set that allows players from the perimeter to flourish in the post season. Thus why Harden is always such a failure come playoff time.[/QUOTE]

No shit. The point is Kobe's shot selection has NEVER BEEN GOOD FROM ANY DISTANCE...EVER. Try and keep up. Your stupid argument that he was a smarter player who was more prone to taking awful mid range shots compared to awful three point shots doesn't mean a whole damn lot...because they are still consistently bad shots regardless of where they were from on the court.

You know it's almost as if "Greatest of all time" means he would be the best player in any era

Brilliant post again. :bowdown:

[QUOTE=KirbyPls]

[/QUOTE]
Westbrook would look tiny next to Jordan.. he'd look smaller than Joe Dumars.

He's not just significantly shorter - with shorter height comes smaller bone structure... Westbrook is a materially smaller player than [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PCOJQOMEJ4Y][u]Ray Allen[/u][/url] or [url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvquD3ktNbQ][u]Latrell Sprewell[/u][/url] - and as you can see, both those guys look tiny next to Jordan.

That's why Jordan did so many things physically that Westbrook can't even dream of doing, such as the free throw line dunks shown above and tons of [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=10866292&postcount=29][u]other plays[/u][/url].

Or if you're eye test isn't reliable, you can just go by [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showthread.php?t=352399][u]the stats[/u][/url], which show that Jordan dunked 3 times as much as Westbrook... Comparing [url=http://www.insidehoops.com/forum/showpost.php?p=11021030&postcount=6][u]MJ's game[/u][/url] to Westbrook shows how differently they get things done, and how plays that are pedestrian for Jordan, are plays of the year for Westbrook.

[QUOTE=3ball]Jordan again[/QUOTE]
I swear you just posted this. Why delete it?

3ball what do you think Westbrook would average in the 90s? Say on the Rockets with Hakeem.

3ball, why so insecure? Who has argued that prime MJ would not be the best player if he played in 2015?

[QUOTE]You know it's almost as if "Greatest of all time" means he would be the best player in any era[/QUOTE]

:D

But Wilt would still suck in Today's game right? just trying to keep things straight.

It is funny though how every era thinks their best player would always mop the floor with whatever the current era was. Growing up in the 80's/90's all the old players from the 60's and 70's and early 80's were always talking about how the players of the 80/90's were soft. Now these old ass players from the 80's and 90's are doing the same thing.

Are you people serious? Michael Jordan would crush today's league. He dunked more than anyone in the hardest era to dunk. Midrange game on a thousand, and if he came up in this era he would obviously practice more threes.

FACT: at his peak, MJ in today's game would average more than 45 points.
FACT: rookie MJ would win MVP if he was drafted this season.
FACT: MJ would win the scoring title every year he spent in the league.
FACT: MJ would shoot at least 45% on three-point shots in today's game.
