Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
[QUOTE=ClipperRevival]In terms of sheer peak numbers [U]without considering context[/U], Ilt is probably the GOAT. But peak numbers isn't the be all, end all.
MJ is the all time leader in PPG and PER for both regular season and playoffs.
MJ won 5 regular seasons mvp while Ilt won 4.
MJ has 6 fmvp while Ilt has 1.
MJ's career playoff scoring average is 33.4 while Ilt's is 22.5
MJ's career playoff PER is 28.6 while Ilt's is 22.7.
MJ won 10 scoring titles while Ilt won 7.
I can go on and on.[/QUOTE]
I will let Lazeruss respond to this. I don't have time for this shit.

[QUOTE=kuniva_dAMiGhTy]He doesn't.
If games were only played in the regular-season, Wilt would be the unanimous GOAT. Unfortunately for him the NBA has a postseason and finals, where MJ simply played on another level.[/QUOTE]
Yeah, that little thing called the playoffs and clutch and showing up when it matters most, etc. Not that important. I'd rather lose and put up empty stats and blame everyone else for coming up short.

[QUOTE=ClipperRevival]The simple fact is that no player was as CONSISTENTLY DOMINANT like MJ. Some might've peaked a tad higher or some had better longevity but no one maintained a level like MJ for as long. The proof is in the numbers.[/QUOTE]
who peaked higher
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
[QUOTE=Black Magic]who peaked higher[/QUOTE]
You can argue Wilt if you are looking at the raw numbers without context.

[QUOTE=Black Magic]who peaked higher[/QUOTE]
Ted Williams didn't peak as high as Babe Ruth. That doesn't diminish his greatness in hitting.
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
curry is th e*uckin man, but this is a bit of an overreaction. from the moment jordan stepped foot on the nba hardwood all the way to his retirement in '98, he was putting up 40 point playoff games on the regular. the league threw everything they could at him. he went through the toughest and roughest defenses. they developed specialized defensive schemes to stop him. he could not be stopped by any of this.
but now we're supposed to think that because curry put up one 40 point game, he's now all of a sudden a better scorer than jordan? when curry goes through as many wars as jordan did while putting up several 40-50 point games, then we can talk.

He makes CP3 and KD look like ringless losers.
Oh wait, everyone does that.
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
1/10 of Jordan?
my god Jordan is the greatest to ever do it but geez lets get of his nuts so they can breathe for a day or two.
1/10???? Might as well not even make the comparison if you gonna say someone is 10 percent someone else. Its like a chick telling me I can fucc but I can only use 10 percent of my dick. Whats the point????

Steph unanimous MVP, better season than any of Ordan's :applause: :applause: :applause:
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
Wait so Jordan isn't just the GOAT he's 10x better than the next closest guy?
Are you retarded?
Every player in the NBA is at least 10% as good as Jordan **** outta here. He isn't God.

This is a stupid argument. It only means this season was weak in terms of MVP caliber players.....and it's further more the case when you only really have like 2-3 teams capable of winning the ring....whereas the 90s had more star players and 4-6 teams that can possibly win in any given year...
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
Jordan was 10x the player curry is right now? Wow

Well...most guys would stick around to defend their title rather than quit when they knew it was over.
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
jordan averaged 300 ppg in his prime and shut entire teams down alone
Re: After waiting all these years for someone to be 1/10th the player MJ was....
basically wat op's saying is the difference between Jordan and Kareem is bigger than the difference between Kareem and Dion Waiters :oldlol:
