Naw, all I read are excuses

It's all good. Jordan and Lebron are top 3 GOATS. They stay slaying

[Manny98]

LAmbruh shut this thread down quick

[plowking]

How is LeBron still at the forefront of MJ fans minds given everything that has gone on this season?

Some of you really need to get a grip, and get a hobby or something going in your lives.

[AintNoSunshine]

damn, only a small clip


you can find multiple whole Finals series sequences of this

Wait was Jordan guarded by this guy? Jordan must have averaged 50 like people suggest he would in today's league.

Here comes 87 right on schedule with the information without context. Michael barely shot one 3 a game from 1998 to 2003 when he was between 34 and 39 y/o!

When he shot the most 3's in his career (during his physical prime) in 1990 and 1993 he shot 38% and 35% respectively and in the first 3-peat he shot 39% from 3 during the playoffs capping it of with 4 attempts in the 1993 playoffs (highest with the original line).

For a guy that NEVER PRACTICED 3 pointers because he felt it would take away from his game and rightly so (a lesson the present soft 3 point chucking league could definitely take to heart) he delivered when it mattered and defenses still had to respect him out there even though his game was attacking the rim and killing the mid range and teams concentrated on packing the paint against him as the main defensive strategy.

Here's the man himself talking about it and showing his range:

LOL, the dude was more exciting in his LEAST PRACTICED AND HERALDED aspect of the game than Stephie Curry is at basically ALL HE PRACTICES AND REVOLVES his game around. Unreal!

Jordan's hang time on his jumpers is still unmatched EVEN TO THIS DAY of supposed "superhuman" athletes. Hell he could still get it off against Kobe, Carter, McGrady and Artest when he's knees were gone at 39 y/o!!!

[superduper]

Andgar is straight up DESTROYING these idiots

But but but Bran would be a GAWD amongst those 6'4 unathletic nerds!!

They have no idea what to respond with so they're desperately deflecting

Most all time greats would be great in any era. We are talking about top 5 all time players here. Rules change. The players change. But I think any of them would have dominated had their eras been transposed.

Jordan against no handchecking would have feasted. Lebron would have overwhelmed players in the 70s with his athleticism. Kareem,Shaq, and Hakeem would have had a field day against today's centers. Harden would have been really tricky to play against in the late 80s.

6'1 Jason Kidd.

[Showtime80']

I agree with most of that Feeny but guys like Harden, Curry, Lillard or Westrbrick would want NO PART of the late 80's-early 90's NBA.

There was NO SPACING, hand checking, hard fouls without extreme penalties, congested paints, only 2 shots on 3 pointer fouls (this last one is an underrated big change) etc...

Here's Steve Kerr talking about how the league altered the rules to help players like Steph Curry and Steve Nash:
