    MJ, Nique are in the VC tier of athleticism. Larry Nance, Pipp, Hill, Penny, are in that Frobe/ Wade/ Tmac tier. I wouldn't consider Artest athletic. He's super strong with great lateral movement but he lacks the top speed, hops and balance to be put into the elite categories.

    Jordan dunked on and DOMINATED all the athletic wings too - he didn't just play decent or good enough:


    ... on Dr. J

    .... MJ was massive 2-guard; dwarfs Ray Allen


    ... on Larry Nance (one of a great many)

    ... Nance again... many more


    ... on Shawn Kemp


    ... on Kemp again, in Kemp's last all-star yr (1998)



    .. on clifford robinson hard as ****

    Some kid 15 years from now will be asking the same thing as you about the 2000s, when they don't know who VC/Tmac/Ron Artest/Sprewell are.

    On on a different note, who is the mod who deleted my thread that strickly show the FGA and points scored stats of Kobe, Jordan and Lebron. Seriously, why would they delete that, unless they were a stan that felt threaten, out of all the threads to delete they delete that one. Will this thread get deleted since it's a troll thread?
