Enjoy the days when rookies did this...

There was a time in the NBA when rookies weren't 3 to 4 wait and see raw projects the way they are now. Michael Jordan was a perfect example. Came out of the blocks as a top 5 talent in the league. Aside from the amazing talent check out the HUMBLENESS that he exuded. Contrast that with the d!ckhead tough guy primadonna attitude of Kobe, Iverson, LeBron and Westbrook to name a few and you see why the world gravitated naturally to Michael.

Check out Larry Bird's rookie highlights:

Look at the turn around the Celtics had in 1980! Today's rookies are so fundamentally flawed, raw and lacking in basketball IQ that teams stay in perpetual sh!ttiness for years (Sixers anyone)

Here's another type of player young punks today WILL NEVER get to experience, a DOMINANT BACK TO BASKET CENTER dominating in his rookie year to the tune of:
21ppg 12rbs 3blks 1stl= 19 game turnaround for the Rockets

Re: Enjoy the days when rookies did this...
MJ just had a different level of impact on the world and the player's he faced that no one player ever had. Listen to what Kobe, KG, AI, Marbury, Ray Allen, Stackhouse, etc said about their first time facing MJ? It's like they viewed him more as a God than a player. He just had that level of impact. That's not sucking up, it's just reality.
From 1:20 to 6:50.

Re: Enjoy the days when rookies did this...
Great clip Revival!
That to me that is my favorite version of MJ, the 96-98 years. He basically came out of retirement, older, less athletic and DOMINATED a league full of the generation of players that would go on to rule the weak as! NBA in the 2000's (Shaq, Kobe, Garnett, Allen, Iverson, Duncan, Walker).
Listen to what Michael said in the middle of the video- "You might have a physical advantage, you might not. The MENTAL GAME IS WHERE YOU PICK EM' APART" There's a message for the current mental midget league. The 80' and early 90's was FULL of mental mastery of basketball.
As the NBA has become so dumbed down in the last 15 years can you imagine a 1992 MJ competing against todays low IQ knuckleheads like Westbrick, Cousins, Durant, Rose, Melo, Wiggins etc...
