    Default prime Shawn Marion vs Broken down Mj

    Why did Shawn Marion struggle to guard 38-40 years old man with no knees and tendinitis. Shawn Marion is 6'8 with Long arms and a good defender. Somebody someone from the weak era should of been overwhelmed by is new era athleticism and defense.

    It's the quick decisive moves and highly effective pump fakes. Below is another example from 1991 where he gets Hawkins off his feet, and beats both Armen Gilliam and 7'7 Manute Bol to score. Jayson Williams on the Sixers bench cannot believe it.

    Example of only one game?

    How about when he shot 7-21 with 9 TO against Chicago and Ron Artest?

    Or when he shot 5-21 against Duncan's Spurs?

    Are those proof that someone from the weak era that's overwhelmed by new era defense

    Yeah during his 2 seasons on the Wiz he had 26 and 28 games respectively shooting under 40%

    Post some of those game films! And it's not like he's chucker kobe putting up a ton of 3's and shooting a low %, he was shooting those percentages on only 2's

    A 38-40 year old shouldn't be able to even play in this era. He came in the 80s how it possible he scored 50 points multiple times vs these new era athleticism.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3IW...?v=B3IWrGl4ODw Broken down Mj vs New era Tracy mcgrady

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsQtYJC3mWo vs the Nets who made the finals

    Mj vs Ron artest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CV52IrBoj90

    Wasn't inefficient Iverson making the all-star game back then. What I would like to know is how a 38-40 with multiple surgeries(Started missing open dunks at one point) could ever put up a 50 pt game in the new era.

    HE SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN PLAYING IN THIS ERA AT THAT AGE. HE WAS VERY VERY BAD AND DETRIMENTAL TO HIS TEAM.

    What don't you get about this He's the GOAT, but for the Wiz he has just shooting midrange jumpers and turnarounds from the post. Teams were happy to give him those shots. Obviously some games he'll go off just purely based on the fact that he's taking a ton of shots and no one had the balls to tell him to knock that shit off.

    Unless you're shooting in the 45-50% range from midrange, there is no excuse to take 1000 of those shots in a season. In those two seasons he took 72.5% and 73.8% of his shots from midrange, and shot about 41% on this shots.

    ****ing awful. Those shots don't get you an extra point like a 3, and don't draw fouls like getting to the rim (which he rarely did). He had no business playing NBA ball at that point.


    are you seriously posting vids where he scored 25 points on 25 shots to SUPPORT your argument? Posting single games isn't really an argument anyways, as no one puts up game footage of him bricking 15 shots in a game while the rest of the team stands around staring at their feet. MJ's ego literally wasted 2 seasons for the Wizards.

    They win 37 games and that's with Mj getting injured in the middle of the season then playing injured the rest of the season. They only won 19 the year before. Before Mj got Injured they were on pace to make the playoffs. My arguments already proven bro. Mj shouldn't of been able to score 50 pts or get those 40 pt games at 38-40 old with no knees with those new era players. He should of not even been able to play. Look at someone like Trevor arias they tried to make him into a star but couldn't even take on the load a star does for one season and reverted back toa role player.

    They won 19 games because of tons of injuries and Juwan Howard being a bum.

    MJ had a few high scoring games because he jacked up tons of the easiest to get shots. Overall, he was shit.

    Where does Trevor Ariza come into this? That dude can't even dribble a basketball.

    in 01-02 MJ needed FIVE more shots per game to score TWO more points than Rip Hamilton.

    You know taking a ton of shots and missing most of them is BAD right?

    02-03 MJ: 3/12 (L), 4/16 (L), 5/20 (L), 4/15 (L), 8/25 (L).....the list goes on and on.


    No use arguing with you. If MJ wanted to butt**** your whole family you'd ask to go first.

    They won 37 games and 19 more then the previous season. Stop your BS. They were on pace to make the playoffs before Mj got Injured.

    My point was not everyone can just become a star player and score. Trevor ariza

    Easiest to get shots? The **** are you talking about. He had no knees at 38-40 yet scoring 50. You do realize that it's hard to score 50 right .

    You seem very mad bro. Only 4 years before that season Mj was MVP, Fmvp, ASMvp

    4 years before MJ was actually good.

    There are plenty of guys that could put up better stats than Wizards MJ if they had the green light to shoot more than a third of their teams shots when they're on the floor.

    ****ing Nick Young could easily put up 22ppg if he had that kind of green light. Jimmer Fredette could do it. Shit, go look at Larry Hughes in 04-05

    Terrence Ross scored 50. Andre Miller scored 50, Tracy Murry scored 50.
    When you're hot and have the green light to chuck away, things happen.

    The difference is, no one came to the game to see those guys jack up 25 shots. MJ used to be a god, so people came to see MJ and he usually couldn't deliver. His Ortg's were shit those two seasons. When he was on the court it was just all about MJ. He was bigger than the team.


    You know why I'm mad? Because MJ joined my favorite team and ran them into the ground with his bullshit ego. Drafting Kwame and then destroying his confidence

    Yeah they won 19 games the season before, when all their vets were hurt and washed up. The actual basketball move wouldnt be to mortgage your future on 2 seasons of MJ chucking, it would be to actually rebuild once you got rid of the mid-30's veterans. Plus they got Doug Collins after that year.

    Ran them into the ground when they were a 19 win team the season before and had only made the playoffs once in the previous 10 years? But Jordan's broken down ass had them battling for playoff position, not to mention bringing attention, paying customers, etc to an obscure franchise no one gave 2 shits about?

    It's pretty hilarious watching you guys work over time to try to tear down a 38-40 year old with no knees who was literally playing for charity on the 3rd worst team in the league. Just mad as phuck over nothing

    Still pretty good 19 game improvement and was on pace to make the playoffs before his injury.


    Bro None of those players were 38-40 years old coming off of knee surgery.

    U can stay mad at your irrelevant Wizards.
