How would Moses Malone's "move" in 1982-83 be viewed today?

[RRR3]

We mostly agree. I actually called Philly stacked in my initial post. Also acknowledge them as GOAT-tier and a superteam. J's best years were behind him though. His production in the playoffs kinda proves that.

Refusing to admit you were wrong still yikes.

Hoops and I mostly agree. You're PISSED I shit on your argument, and you had zero rebuttal.

I annihilated you in this thread lmao. Kind of what happens when one guys uses facts and the other guy sobs about how much he hates LeBron.

[3ba11]

He doesn’t know this. All he knows is he hates LeBron for challenging MJ.

Lebron hasn't challenged MJ - he won't even reach Kobe in rings.. Karma always works it out - Kobe had less than MJ and Lebron will have less than Kobe

MJ had less than Russell and LeBron keeps you up at night. Kobe’s 2002 ring doesn’t count anyways, confirmed as being rigged. Refs went to jail over that.

We're talking 3-pointer basketball, when only dominant offensive players are MVP-caliber (42 of 42 MVP's since 1980).. 2-pointer basketball is a different sport with no spacing, so a 1-way defender like Russell can be MVP-caliber

Goalpost moving.

It would be viewed like if Joel Embiid's contract is expired and he decided to join the Clippers, forming a big 3 with Kawhi and PG.

It's amazing how obsessed people are with Lebron. I originally made this thread the day after KD had signed with GSW. It was his move that precipitated this thread, not Lebron.

At this point it's not a matter of if a thread will derail into a Bron thread, but a matter of when.

[Lebron23]

Only won 1 NBA Title. Lmao

He would be praised for it. Like when Legoat fans praised legoat for quitting on his #1 seed and hopping over to Wades team to lrn2win

Oh, then we're basically debating for nothing, lol.

Your question in the title is a little unclear. How is Moses' move back then viewed today or how would Moses be viewed if in a similar situation today he did the same move?

The answer to the former is no one cares; it's ancient history. The answer to the latter would depend on who Malone would have joined.

The question is, how the same exact move made in 1982 would be viewed if it was made in 2021 with the identical context and circumstances.

Moses never gets shit for this. The hypocrisy among Bron haters.
