Will Michael Jordan coming back to the NBA with NBA include something like him sitting down with players like he did with John Thompson? Who would you like to see him sit down with?
So you think he’s the goat because you created a fantasy world that he can do everything on the court and guard all 5 positions and is the most talented and skilled. Well of course you think he’s the goat. For the rest of us who live in reality though, he’s not. Great but no goat
This why I say LeBron is the greatest to ever play the sport, can do everything on the court, can run all 5 positions, can guard all 5 positions, most talented, most skilled, superior physical body and has the best longevity out of any nba player to ever play in the league when you’re not hating and actually look at what you’re watching you’ll understand why he’s the GOAT
No one is saying to bring this stuff back or it’s good or anything like that. The point most older fans are making is this was a level of adversity offensive players then had to face as well as travel/carry calls, and not being able to initiate as much contact as today.
This mid air tackle on Michael Jordan was a common foul or occasionally in the 90’s a flagrant 1. Today it’s a flagrant 2 ejection and a suspension.
These types of defenses play is something every player had to worry about when they drove to the basket…it was a realistic possibility of getting a hard foul like this.
So let me get this straight: It’s not about pace; it’s about the ground covered? Okay, I’ll do you one better.
Do players get more recovery time between games today? Yes.
Do they travel on private charter jets with significantly more comfort? Yes.
Were there more 4-games-in-5-nights schedules back then? Absolutely.
Did the NBA play at a faster pace in the 80’s? 100 percent.
So if we’re discussing the physical demands of the game, let’s account for the entire picture, not just the distance players run and pace!
Yes the ones who have seen more basketball and the entire careers of MJ and LeBron are the ignorant ones. Not the dudes who have seen only half of the equation if that 🤦♂️
Well. One
He’s really good at getting to the rim
Two
He has more range than MJ as well
Bron has a better FG percentage while taking 3 more shots from distance more than MJ
And he never had the line moved up for him
An important reminder from Chris that mental health is important. Please check in on your friends like Chris and make sure they have the support they need. And don’t neglect yourself either.
Silly little Bron fan didn’t think to check the stats. 35yo GP played rookie LeBron twice that year and won both games. Shaq and Kobe didn’t even play the 2nd game. LeBron scored 16 on 30% with 6 TOs. First game when LeBron had 32, Kobe didn’t play that one either, GP had 30.
"LeBron wouldn't last in the 90's." 🥱
"ROOKIE" LeBron giving the "The Glove" Gary Payton the business. (arguably the best defender the 90's have to offer)
These are the facts about Stackhouse. He was on the decline in Detroit, they gave him the reigns in Washington and MJ went to the bench. It didn’t work, Stackhouse was not who they hoped he would be. Stackhouse lacking any accountability goes on press tours trying to blame MJ
They did bring you there to lead but you couldn’t. You were on the decline before you even arrived in Washington. MJ tried giving you the reigns but you weren’t up to it. Go look at the first 20 games

If you played today you would be a high volume shooter version of Denar Derozan at best. You’d be retiring without a ring and Jordan brand wouldn’t exist.
I get daily comments that Michael Jordan wasn’t doubled. So easy to verify they are wrong…by simply watching an actual MJ game!
Someone says MJ doesn’t get doubled, it’s a non starter. Every response from them will be trash.

They “tried burying” what is readily available online. They “tried burying” the 63 point game which is talked about all the time and is a playoff record. Are these dudes the most moronic wastes of space to enter the discourse? They offer 0 substance or value
They really tried burying this from the history books...
Taking 49 FGA just to finish with ONE assist and a loss is generational stat padding.
Is Michael Jordan actually the most overrated scorer in playoff history? Be honest. 👇

What this low IQ melon cannot tell you is which rules were changed to specifically benefit Jordan. He also can’t explain how expansion specifically helped Chicago, he also doesn’t know even more rules changed since MJ to further help offensive players which his man benefited from
Anyone paying attention knows the rules changed in ways that benefited Jordan. He also played during an era of massive league expansion. After 1990, nobody could touch him the same way—and that context matters. Greatness isn’t just the rings; it’s the environment that helped produce them.
