Grown men in their 30s and 40s who still fanboy Jordan

[Rose'sACL]

2000's will be a hard decade to argue against.

it was the hardest defensive era and talent pool was loaded

the 90s was revolutionary in terms of athletic training, so all the players in 2000s were up to date in terms of being as fit and athletic as they could be.


the only thing that could make another era as competitive is bringing back the hand check while keeping the zones and roaming legalized, and then some sort of genetic mutation or sped up human evolution that creates more athletic players--or legalized steroids.


other than that, video evidence will always be easy to decide the winner

hand checking with current rules will lead to all good defensive teams looking like 2004 pistons and best defensive team would hold teams to 70 points in a lot of games.
it is ridiculous for one player to dominate and win at the same time now. ISOs don't work as well because defensive schemes are getting more and more complicated and to counter that teams are looking for new things like not having only defensive specialists on the floor because you need spacing or you will not win in the current nba.

These men know younger people don't give a crap about old games/old players and it makes them butthurt. This is why they go on twitter and make youtube videos telling you how great it was in the 80s and 90s.

Are you another insecure Lebron ******?

Go **** yourself ****

Pay no mind to these insecure bran stands. They are proponents of shitty lower quality basketball because that is all they know and they are shook by the fact that they are watching a soft era that doesn't consist of the GOAT Jordan.

[Showtime80']

80's basketball made a lot of people forget about the 60's and 70's. 2000's and beyond basketball has made a LOT of people MISS the 80's. That's the long and short of it

I work at a sports bar and I see characters like that all the time

sloppy, overweight middle age white cornballs living vicariously through MJ with them air jordan kicks.

sits there knuckle deep in a tray of nachos and randomly chiming in on other customers convo about the game with some unwelcome comment about how they ain't like mike.

Inevitably I have to call them a taxi and they wander off into the night alone.

[sportjames23]

We finna act like you ain't gonna be the same way about LeBron when you're their age?

Dat ether doe.

[Upgrayedd]

Anyone who doesn't appreciate the legends and the game before they started watching isn't really a true fan.

I remember when I started posting on here back on the ezboard forum and I grew up watching Jordan in the '90s and watching in the '00s and I was saying that I thought Dirk was better than Larry Bird and kblaze and a bunch of other posters called me out and told me to watch some old Bird videos. Thanks to youtube, I know how wrong I was.

I don't know how any true fan of any sport can consider themselves a true fan without having respect for the older players.

The Wilt stans are the worst, at least Jordan stans watched him play..

The complete lies these fools believe is hilarious

[Showtime2001]

Looks to me like Bran stans can't accept the fact that Jordan is the GOAT and Bran is not.

[funnystuff]

I dont even believe a person should care about players they never saw live. Like the wilt and russell fanboys

This is why cavsftw is strange as fk.

Just wait 15-20 years from now when a new star comes along and their fanbase will bash Bron for being overrated because he played in an older/weaker era. This is how things go.

But in the case of MJ, he truly is the GOAT and the resume speaks for itself. Even Lebron calls MJ the GOAT. The vast majority of people who played basketball also do. He came, he saw, he conquered and I am glad I was able to witness it all.

Deal with it. I know the truth hurts. MJ is the GOAT. It's not an opinion but almost accepted fact.

Name ten of the greatest painters that ever lived.

Now try to name a painter from this era.

1. No one cares about painters.

2. A league that's been around for 70 years =/= art form that started in pre-history.

Terrible post, if you're trying to make a point it was a very poor attempt.

[Spurs m8]

eh

Its funny LeBron losers put effort into trying to dispute this.
Anyone who knows what they're talking about accepts Jordan.

I judge anyone trying to sell the LeBron case....they just straight up don't know basketball and were probably born after 1995.

Funny thing is they can't see it hahahah

It's insecurity. These young, Bron fans don't want to accept the possibility that there was another player who was better than Bron. They can't fathom it because as we all know, Bron is pretty special himself. Probably a borderline top 10 all time great despite having turned 30. But there was a guy who did it better and accomplished more.

Does Bron have a chance to surpass MJ? Of course he does. Win a couple more regular season MVPs and win 3-4 more rings, then he can be in the MJ neighborhood. But that's a tall order given how he's already 30. But we'll have to see.
