Jordan on why he wouldn't rep his country in the '96 Olympics

[guy]

I never criticized him for not choosing to play. My point was that he always brings up mental and physical fatigue. That was his main emphasis on why he chose not to in 1996 but I find it hard to believe in 1992 that it was so physically mentally draining for him and so grueling in route to beating teams by 50 fvcking points a game.

8 games played and the Final scores were

116-48
103-70
111-68
127-83
122-81
115-77
127-76
117-85 -Gold Medal game.

Now tell me how that would be mentally and physically draining with a team full of stars? If it took that big of toll on MJ, then sorry, that's soft as fvck and that goes for anyone on that team making the same claim.

who the **** are you to call any pro athlete soft for being fatigued?

takes a lot of effort to score that many points while completely shutting down the opposition.

probably shoulda just gotten blown out by the likes of puerto rico like lebronze did.

i'm sure lepatriots were nice and refreshed after that olympics.

What if you won all 6?

Only 6 finals appearances pathetic

The GOAT standard is at least 8 finals appearances

I've spoken about the trolling on this board in general on many occasions, and not just about any one specific player. It's all stupid to me, but you position yourself in the 'I want attention!' dumbest way possible. I actually RARELY criticize Lebron and if I do it's rooted in an actual debate, not trolling bullshit. And if it's a troll, it's only to counter other trolling. So we're all here stuck in an endlessly stupid cycle of troll/counter-troll, when we could all be having a much better discussion. But then the board would lose its reason to exist because it's clearly run on the premise of traffic garnered through dumb hot-takes, and not genuine discussion.

Your a troll yourself

Just.....go play out in rush hour or something. Not even your mother back at the fishing village would notice if you didn't return.

Kareem,Russell,LeBron and Magic all got to the finals at least 8 times

Why couldn't MJ

issa wrap

goat standard should be at least 7

russell had 12
kareem had 10
magic had 9
lebron had 9
kobe has 7

mike has...6 (no pip no chip)

why did mike lose in the 1st round so much poor fella

guess pippen saved his legacy

[And1AllDay]

Never heard that one Op. Add it to the archives. What's hilarious to see is damage control stans lining up anytime a non commercialized take or story about Mj is revealed. You guys gotta be better than this as hard as many of you are on current players.

100

b-b-b-b-b-b i am so tired after 3 finals in a row

[guy]

Only 6 finals appearances pathetic

What is this loser-mentality where people give a **** about final appearances? is it the equivalent of the all-star game where the accomplishment is just making it and these all time greats should just be happy to be there?

I get the argument that Lebron shouldn

[Phoenix]

Kareem,Russell,LeBron and Magic all got to the finals at least 8 times

Why couldn't MJ

And only Russell ended up with more titles?

Kareem and Magic getting to the finals aren't mutually exclusive achievements, but a 5 year old would know that.

Only 6 finals appearances lol

Imagine being the GOAT and only appearing on the biggest stage only 6 times

[brutalBBQ]

Only 6 finals appearances lol

Imagine being the GOAT and only appearing on the biggest stage only 6 times

So your arguement is that if MJ had of appeared in 9 finals, won 6 and lost 3 he would be the GOAT?
As opposed to Lebrons 3 wins and 6 losses but he is the GOAT?

[nayte]

I might be wrong but I figured he just used that excuse just cause he didn't want to play. He is considered to have one of the biggest motors ever. Dunno maybe he had casino's to visit lol

Sorry but the GOAT standard is minimum 8 finals appearances.

MJ was only able to take his team to the finals 6 times which unfortunately doesn't cut it.

Really? West went to the finals 9 times and lost 8 times. So you're saying Jerry West is a top 5 player then on account of finals appearances regardless of the result? No, I didn't think so. So let's try this again since you failed to adequately reply before:

And only Russell ended up with more titles?

Kareem and Magic getting to the finals aren't mutually exclusive achievements, but a 5 year old would know that.


Also, your reply to BrutalBBQ was bullshit too so let's progress past the potty stage and put your bigboy pants on with your replies, mmmkay babyboi?
