There will NEVER be another Michael Jordan

[90sgoat]

These fools don't understand it's likely there will NEVER be another Michael Jordan.

There might be someone like Shaq, someone very dominant, but a player like MJ who had a career like that probably not.

Jordan is the Beatles, Muhammed Ali, Shigeru Miyamoto, Mozart, Bobby Fisher.

He transcends his niche, everyone knows who Michael Jordan is. Everyone. And in the 90s he was a huge pop idol, not just a basketball player.

That's because humans fall in awe when they see genius, that most rare of human qualities, which we are lucky to witness and appreciate once in a generation.

Make no mistake Michael Jordan is a genius in his field. A once in a lifetime. There was no second Muhammed Ali and there will be no second Michael Jordan.

Wish Tyson would have stayed hungry. He could have been the GOAT.

smack slurp MJ smack slurp

Too short arms, but otherwise yeah. I met Tyson once, nice guy.

considering not more than half a decade since jordan we saw prime shaq, kobe, duncan, lebron

4 presumably top 10 players all time by the time theyre all finished


when every other decade had 1-2 guys


its more than likely within the next 40-50 years someone passes jordan


someone will get 7 modern day titles and have a crazy average.


kobe and duncan got 5 titles each and theyre the very next generation after jordan



someone will do this with 30ppg career and win all the fmvps... trust me

There will be another. But it's all matter of personality. Perhaps soul if reincarnation is real. If Michael Jordan reincarnated into another tall human. Then that human is going to have that insane will to win and will to be the GOAT.

I did like the mention Miyamoto.

Would MJ have been MJ without Dean Smith of North Carolina forcing him to play second fiddle? Without forcing him to play a structured offense?

I honestly think we will see fewer and fewer top ten players because they spend too long learning the necessary fundamentals they should have learnt in high school.

Lebron barely has a post game and still doesn't know how to do a straight up jumpshot (look he jumps leaning left,right, back, forward).

Anthony Davis the same, doesn't have back to basket moves.

The lack of college means these players have to focus on their strenghts only while neglecting their weaknesses because there isn't time to work on them in the NBA season.

Unless you're like Jimmy Butler and really kill it in the off season then you won't improve as fast.

And then there's the contracts. A first pick today makes more money than MJ made as a champion. Where's the hunger? Why not waste your time on hoes and hip hop?

GIF Reaction asked why are the GOATs from the 80-90s in all sports (Gretzky, Rice, Jordan, Bonds).

It's because they're not spoilt millenials. They have had grandfathers who fought in the war. The millenials have boomer grandparents and we all know boomers are the worst generation ever.

The Beatles weren't even that great. Yeah, I said it.

[90sgoat]

The Beatles weren't even that great. Yeah, I said it.

I agree they are overrated but most people seem to think they are the greatest band ever. Too me honestly they're just the first boyband.

[GoatBoy]

The next undisputed goat is in the league is in the league right now

[JT123]

Yes there will, he just won't be as hyped due to Jordan knob slobbers like yourself trying to diminish their accomplishments by claiming it's a weaker era or some shit.
We've already seen these idiots claim that 5 straight Finals appearances means nothing due to supposed weak competition, so even if someone wins 5 or 6 straight rings they will claim the same thing. It's honestly really sad how these 45 year old men have dedicated their lives to stanning a retired player who doesn't give 2 shits about them.

But there can be 2 3balls on insidehoops

[HighFlyer23]

Kobe is almost the same exact player as Jordan

So calm down, f@ggot

Watch 3ball come into this thread any minute now to validate his alts OP. It's hilarious how nearly every Jordan stan here has at least 1 alt.

In some ways perhaps, but "almost" makes all the difference in the world. There's very little that separates the all time greats, and every finite difference becomes magnified the higher up the rankings you go. We have seen and will continue to see players with comparable abilities to Jordan, but it's doubtful we'll ever see the same kind of perfect storm in terms of individual accolades, team success, name recognition, marketability, etc...

His name has even become synonymous with being the greatest at something. Someone who is regarded as the greatest at a particular activity is often referred to as "the Michael Jordan" of that activity. It's highly unlikely that another athlete will ever come close to having that kind of social impact.
