What if games were simply broadcasted w/out commentary or review (no sports media)

[3ba11]

What would you guys do?.. How would fans know who the best players are? The only reason that people have Lebron #2 is because the media literally told them to - the evidence of the media whipping people into shape is the timeline of how the #2 ranking directly coincides with the media's creation of a goat debate... Before that, no one ranked Lebron at #2 and he wasn't even above Kobe, Kareem or Magic.. Lebron being #2 only became a thing after the goat debate was started in 2017 - the originator of the debate was such a fraud that he incorrectly predicted his fake goat would win the 17' Finals (here), and then began the fake debate on ESPN (here)...

(notice the drum-roll by Chris Carter, so everyone is "in" on Nick Wright's "bombshell" that Lebron is already the goat.. so it's a confirmed fake, manufactured debate that fooled many in the public).

However, even without debating the actual basketball and accolades, Lebron lacks so many goat qualities, such as winning mentality, competitiveness, perseverance, and coachability.. There's also the basketball flaws, such as FT's, turnovers, and also the lack of elite "bag", expert jumpshooting skill or ability to play off teammates, and of course winning or even competitive record on the championship level (22-33).... Also, candidates for the greatest ever must be candidates for best scorer ever, which Lebron is not.

Great song by S&G... I'm a fan of Disturbed, but their version sucks.

The Eminem version's music video is pretty twisted.

I enjoy GOOD commentary.

Doris Burke and a few others, however, are insufferable.

Fun fact of the day: Michael Jordan ranks #40 All Time in game win/loss percentage.

Most notable players ahead of him that are also all timers:

Magic Johnson, Larry Bird, Tim Duncan, David Robinson, Shaquille O'Neal, Bill Russell, Dennis Rodman, Scottie Pippen, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, Julius Erving

There are some other big names too but these are the ones that people would be most familiar with.

Interestingly, both Rodman and Pippen won more than Jordan himself did. Those 1996, 97 & 98 Bulls were stacked as ****. Holy shit.

Bro, you haven't even mentioned they had another HOFer off the bench in Kukoc, a guy who was averaging 20 ppg just 2 seasons earlier in Harper, the all time 3 point % leader in Kerr, oh and the GOAT coach to boot. His teams were stacked as FVCK. No wonder they won 55 games while he was off being a scrub in baseball.

Yes, the '96-'98 Bulls were stacked. You could even call them a super team. The thing is, Jordan never lost with a stacked team. If he had led a super team to the lottery like other superstars have, then he probably wouldn't be consensus GOAT.

Without the media reminding people of his ringlessness early in his career, and his 2011 choke, random fans tuning in would easily see how he stands out compared to the competition. I think you're way off base here.
