begging NBA Twitter to consider all relevant factors

@nbarealist23 @TheRealJHair Can you seriously say that the 90-91 Lakers compared favorably with ‘84-85? Perkins was not a material upgrade over AC or even Bob McAdoo - even if he “was better”. Cooper, younger Magic & Worthy & Byron. It’s not close

@GregRenoff I took my 10 year old niece to Star Trek II The Wrath of Khan. The space scorpions burrowing into the Starfleet officers’ ears left an indelible impression on her.

@RogerLodge7 CA law allows ballots postmarked by Election Day & received by SOS by 6/9 to be counted. Receipt does not automatically allow it to be counted. Millions of signatures must be verified against the voter rolls to ensure only registered voters’ votes are counted. Still wonder?

@nbarealist23 @TheRealJHair I watched every televised game from 1970 through 1990 and went to many in person. That team was by far the weakest team of the preceding 11 years. Sam Perkins was garbage and James was seriously degraded regardless of all NBA status.

@nbarealist23 @TheRealJHair I care because that roster construction was the weakest of his tenure so the victory over “him” is not that impressive

@Sheridanblog @TheRealJHair Jerry resign from the Dodgers broadcasts.

@BushAbillion @TheRealJHair Jerry, why? Promote MJ if you must but stop with hate LBJ nonsense or better yet take a job with the Cubs or Sox.

@dbluetroy Georgia was no better than Marge Schott

@whateverbs99 None of those teams would have had a prayer against LeBron’s squads. My poor depleted Lakers would have been overmatched

@TheRealJHair @jasonrmcintyre Which is a positive unless you’re a LBJ hater like Jerry.

[Context & Nuance @W1P]

@PTsports84 @TheRealJHair No because LBJ haters (like @TheRealJHair) use MJ to diminish LBJ’s obvious greatness.

@EddieTrunk See you tomorrow

@Nick86LGM @madd___slander Wrong - a sizable number of people placed Magic as the GOAT - after all his finals Ws were against all time great teams - unlike MJ. But once Magic weighed in on MJ as GOAT I accepted it. But that doesn’t mean that “nobody” bothered to discuss it.

[Context & Nuance @W1P]

@madd___slander @TheRealJHair Because both lived in the Jurassic era of media. Had they existed now there would be a slew of MJ haters and Kobe haters (though a loud minority) nitpicking every stat, the era they played in, their teammates and every conference / finals opponent.

@WizardsTweeting @TheRealJHair But the stats do not take into account the quality of the opposition
