    You're telling me Jordan had to score 33,5ppg to overcome a team with a 10ppg 2nd option? Damn Jordan's cast must've been shit.

    DAMN

    Laimbeer would easily make the NBA. Gritty center, who doesn't demand the ball, but can shoot the 3? Perfect for this era.

    Salley was a role player, they're interchangeable in any era.

    ehlo WAS the backup

    ron harper was the starter


    Games started 1989

    Harper - 82
    Ehlo - 4


    JR Smith represents the typical ignorance from today's era..

    the reality is that most people only remember a couple replayed highlights of MJ like the shot over Ehlo or the switch hands shot - they don't really know anything about mj's career or how he played.. however, many of these same people call MJ the goat so they realize his greatness intuitively on some level..

    Stupidity is high with that comment. The fact of the matter is that five year olds today are not going to remember most star players playing now, let alone average players, back up players.

    I remember around ten years ago, a common narrative from the dumber teenage Kobe stans was that there were no super stars when Jordan played. Because their inexperience, limited IQ mind, they feel that the superstar of their time are going to be just as big and vivid of name in 40 years as they are to them now. From their very basic, limited perspective Carmelo Anthony and his whole career, style, is going to be known by all NBA fans. Because at their current point in life, he's always been known.

    Of course he doesn't remember something from the 90's, he couldn't even remember the score of the game he was in when he ran out to half court

    He takes literally whatever a thinking person would do/say and just do the opposite. It's a rare level of full-retard. Putting him on ignore with the rest of the "wheels" alts.

    Wow is this for real? Why would average people know a backup player from 30 years ago? That's beyond idiotic, nobody's going to know who his backup was 30 years from now, and to be honest the only reason people will know who he is will because of social media memes of his historically idiotic blunder.

    It's more embarrassing that a player who should technically be a historian of the game in order to improve their own game wouldn't know basketball history. From JR Smith that's not surprising
