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

[QUOTE=Prometheus]

FACT: at his peak, MJ in today's game would average more than 40 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.

[B]agreed, and keep in mind that ROOKIE jordan was superior to today's westbrook in every way[/B] - bigger, stronger, more athletic, more explosive, more skilled, much smarter..

rookie jordan made a million plays that westbrook isn't capable of doing PERIOD, and plenty more plays that were easy for jordan, but would be plays of the year for westbrook.

i'm talking about ROOKIE jordan..

also, 2nd three-peat jordan would destroy this westbrook as well, and not just through GOAT skill, GOAT smarts, and a vastly superior offensive repertoire.

2nd three-peat Jordan still had comparable hops coupled with [I]vastly[/I] superior power, which allowed him to make shots like the GIF above that Westbrook can't do on HIS BEST DAY.

If Curry played during Jordans era he would be GOAT because of the paint camping rules...No one would contest his 3's and he would make 90% of them...

ive come to the conclusion 3ball watches jordan highlight reels when he needs to jack off

Players in any era would contest Curry's 3-pointer the same way they contested Bird's, Miller's or Ellis', and the same way good 3-point shooters are contested today or in any era.

Curry would still hit several per game and crush it from that distance, but that's no different than today.

Now what Curry WOULDN'T be doing is a damn thing in the paint because unlike today, Curry wouldn't have anyone spreading the floor for him - so there would be no spacing and the paint would be packed like nothing he's ever seen.

Then obviously, it would be harder to get IN the paint to begin with, because defenders could be more physical, including hand-checking.. and once he got in the paint, hard fouls were standard, not suspensions like today..

Curry is already pretty fragile, so he would probably be [I]perpetually hurt[/I] in previous eras.. Oh wait..
.

Come on now guys. MJ would be a scrub in today`s league. He would polish Kirk Heindrich boots, at best. Worse stats than Spanuolis or whatever the Greek Freak`s called.

Human race has evolved a lot the last 10-20 years. This would absolutely not cut it today.

He would be crushed.

OTOH, I`ll give WB his props, I like his intencity and attack modus. A little better decisions making is all he lacks.

[QUOTE=OnFire]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.[/QUOTE]

Correct. It's a stupid human generational trend. Everyone wants to hope that they lived during the era of the best *whatever* to exist.
The best of whichever era would mop the floor with the average competition of whichever era.

[QUOTE=ralph_i_el]Lol how about google what a "fact" is you stupid ****.[/QUOTE]
He was satirizing 3ball, man

3ball leavin ni99as shook and insecure once again.

Jordan in any era would dominate.

Fact

Westbrook at his best is still no where near Jordan as a rookie.

My b

3ball, I think Westbrook is a better in-game dunker than Jordan, what do you say?

Westbrook is a better human being than Michael Jordan

Durant is a better human being than Lebron.

[QUOTE=Le Shaqtus]I didn't think it was possible but you're going beyond the realms of human stupidity with every post, it's disappointing AND impressive.[/QUOTE]
Pretty sure dudes like JT123, LeBronXRings, dubeta, Dragic4Life and the rest of the LeStans are trolling hard when the post retarded ass shit like that. I sincerely hope so at least, for their sake.

All of 3ball's posts reek of insecurity. It seems like whenever someone is being discussed on ISH as a contender for the position of best in the league at something he has to come in and use that as some kind of proof that Jordan would do better.

People have been talking about Westbrook's insane athleticism so 3ball has to come in and talk about how that's proof of Jordan's athletic superiority and how that must mean that he'd dominate today's league. No one said anything to the contrary but he has this constant need to defend his idol from imaginary attacks.

Prime/peak MJ combined the very best of the Lebron/Kobe/Wade trio of great perimeter players the past decade plus. Killer(imo superior) mid-range game of Kobe, the creative slashing ability of Wade but in a bigger, stronger package, the superior athleticism of Lebron, combined with killer instinct, all-time great Bball IQ and reactionary instincts/improvisational ability. It's insane for anyone to think he wouldn't' flat-out dominate in this era unless your knowledge of him is derived strictly from youtube clips or the old Wizards version, instead of following his career nightly on WGN telecasts.

And no, it's not nostalgia talking or the refusal to accept that anyone can be better( talking strictly perimeter players right now), as a basketball fan first and foremost I actually *want* someone to come along so I can say ' yeah, this guy is flat-out better'. I just haven't seen it yet.
