There will NEVER be another Michael Jordan

[Smoke117]

Kobe is almost the same exact player as Jordan

Sure he is.

[Vaniiiia]

Only man in sports to get his pop killed over unpaid gambling fees

One of a kind, we'll never see another like him

[Wade's Rings]

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.

You have more Alts than all the Jordan guys on this board combined.

[Rocketswin2013]

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

This is the best post you've ever made.

i was fortunate enough watch nearly all of jordan's career('87 and on) and it probably spoiled me like it did everyone else during that era. his career played out like a fairy tale. it had it all. getting beat down, then finally overcoming his biggest obstacle. someone talks *hit to him, then he precedes to rape their *ss on the court. his tenacious approach to the game. his will to win. the ultimate showmanship. epic playoff performances. how he rarely faltered in big moments in big games. clutch performances. one three-peat, retires, then three-peats again. game winning shot in his last title clinching finals game. the stats, the records.

all this *hit is legendary. its not hyperbole. its real. it happened and we were lucky to experience it live. we dont have to twist facts around like kobe and bron stans do. we dont have to make excuses for his failures and flaws because they were few and far between and certainly not as major. from '91 and on, he was a master of the game and never faltered.

he was the biggest cultural icon at the time. and it wasnt due to all the marketing. it was because even with all the marketing, he always rose up and was better than it.

i wish someone would come around and be the next jordan or better because that was something special. id love to experience that again someday. but that day is not today. so when i see some idiot stan blindly compare their boy to the GOAT, i just feel its an insult. we who grew up in that era know what true worthiness looks like, and noone from today has it.

[Straight_Ballin]

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.

Please seek mental help and stop being so insecure.

Kobe >> MJ.

Wade > MJ.

The rules in that age were meant to prop up the stars of the league. Now defenses are allowed to defend offensive players with whatever defense suits them. So yeah, advantage MJ.

And I think we are primarily talking about the advent of sports marketing where he is STILL king of the castle.

AND he was a damn fine player. But no one will match his impact because the rules don't allow for it; and no one will ever become the marketing king he is because we have seen it all too much.

Players like Lebron would never be loved no matter what era. He is not Magic, Larry, Dr. J or MJ, more like Moses Malone.

He is the Sonny Liston to Muhammed Ali.

WTF does LBJ have to do with this?

I'm agreeing. Even if there is a player every bit as good as MJ, the rules won't be in his favor the way they were for MJ and he won't have the marketing might of the world behind him.

For 3ball EVERYTHING has to do with Lebron.

[Hey Yo]

Yeah....it will be hard to imagine seeing the best player in the world "in his prime" quit in the middle of his contract and then quit on his team again after a second 3peat.

No chance that ever happens again.

You're right, he's way more polarizing than those guys... he's a much bigger deal.

None of those guys can say they're the greatest high school player ever, or the greatest athlete ever, or the greatest basketball player. LeBron can.

I can see why you guys are so jealous and insecure over him. There's literally no other instance of a guy being the best of his generation at a certain sport while being the best all-around athletic specimen in the history of mankind. Well duh! Because there can only be one of those.....




^^^^

This is the GOD of sports. He's the one.

Jordan was ordinary in comparison.




So when you say "there will never be another Michael Jordan" ........ that isn't the case. There are gonna be plenty of guys who surpass him as a basketball player.

No one will ever dethrone LeBron for greatest athlete of all time honors. So he's the only one of a kind worth talking about. Period.

I think MJ is the GOAT but he's also had arguably the biggest media push of All-Time for an athlete. It's like a blockbuster movie vs a independent movie, somebody like Taylor Swift or Beiber vs some indie musician when you look at M.J vs guys like Kareem, Wilt, Russell.

Dude's who idolize Jordan are for some serious shock eventually. Just like guys who were obsessed with Wilt and Kareem. Eventually somebody else is going to come along and steal the spotlight. They tried to give it to LeBron and he could have had it if he didn't fck up in the finals.

LeBron, Kobe, Duncan. KG, Wade, Durant. League has been producing some serious talent post Jordan. Right now things look a little shaky. You have Anthony Davis. Maybe Wiggins. Westbrook is an All-Time freak at the PG position.

MJ gets passed within the next 10-20 years. He's not Gretzky. There will another GOAT. Look at how close LeBron came as a mental midget. If he doesn't collapse vs Dallas, if he pulls an upset against the Spurs/Warriors? Totally different conversation right now. MJ would still be better but LeBron would be closing in.
