@rhodeislander@Lmnopqrst123467@danjacob121@TheHoopHerald Also saw Jordan play live. Hated the Bulls. He avg 33ppg from 86 to 93, assuming he’s an avg shooter of the 3pt ball, and the wide open lanes, his scoring avg would be 40. I agree on the 50 notion, 40 is well within reach.
@Lmnopqrst123467@rhodeislander@danjacob121@TheHoopHerald Yeah I’m not talking about time machines. I’m talking about his ability, growing up playing in this era, the type of player he would be. As for handles, rules changed, players today if talking the Time Machine wouldn’t be able to play then w how they dribble & the gather step.
@Lmnopqrst123467@rhodeislander@danjacob121@TheHoopHerald the horrible take is 1 of the greatest athletes w/ an outstanding mid range game wouldn't adjust to volume 3 pt shooting. MJ would adapt, be at worst an adequate 3pt shooter, and with the pace of today's game AND the gather step, score 40.
Win the group, win round of 32. R16 would likely be Belgium. Winning this game would put everyone in a good place. Losing this game would be more of the same old. I think they lose to Turkey and don't win the group. They'll somehow tie Australia. Win R32 game, lose to Argentina.
I have no idea what should be realistic expectations for the US in the World Cup.
Given that this is the most talent we have had and we are at home…how’s anything less than a quarterfinal acceptable ?
Can start with 1993 ECF vs. Knicks. Bulls trailed 2-0. Jordan shot 3/18 in Game 3 but team had his back. Pippen scored 29 on 10/12 FG.
He made up for it rest of the way but it's the only time since 1960 a player won a PO game during a title run shooting under 17% (min. 15 FGA)
@realravenshunt@justin31047753 Rotation next year will be Bradish, Baz, Young, Gibson and probably Kremer. If Povich isn't dealt he's in the mix and they have German and we don't know what Bragg will look like. Agree on the Pen vs. SP.
@justin31047753 O's aren't trading Mayo. They got bounced in '24 playoffs cause they couldn't hit LHP. Coby has ascended to near elite hitting of LHP, top 15 in MLB. If O'Neill was doing what he was signed for, then I could see it. They need to hit lefties more than they need another SP

@0pinionatedman@relishdaddy 15th in MLB OPS vs. LHP. Ahead of guys like Vlad Jr., Kyle Schwarber, Ben Rice, De La Cruz, Witt Jr.

@rhodeislander@TheHoopHerald Explosiveness is one measure of athleticism. MJ had the highest recorded vertical in the nba.
MJ is also a near scratch golfer, requires a different type of athleticism.
You are arguing against yourself rn.
@rhodeislander@TheHoopHerald 3pta also shrank, correlation as well. Here is what I think, MJ was arguably the best athlete on the planet at 1 point in time. nothing abt. his game would suggest he wouldn’t have been an avg 3 pt shooter today. Add the gather step & the pace of the game & yes he’d score 40.
