So much Cope in this thread from lebron fans. We may know more about Jordan if there were social media and better technology in his playing days like lebron has had, we all know lebron is kind of a Douche. He's not very smart, pretends to read books and pretends he needs glasses. That whole chalk thing he does before games is Cringe AF. He supported, I think, that absolute Idiot harris in the last campaign, a woman who was scared or wasn't allowed to do Rogan like trump/vance did. Finally, his threatening post directed towards an Innocent man without one fact that he sent out to millions of people was Criminal. Shame...........

So now Michael Jordan the GOAT is a bum?! You must be drunk to be talking like that.
I didn't start this thread. I only came in because I saw the BS being said about Jordan. I even left when I realized there's no use in arguing with someone who's so delusional he thinks Air Jordan is less athletic than a dude with a 36 inch vert. That's probably the single dumbest thing I've ever seen someone say on this board.
But the two of you kept talking trash so now I'm back.
It ain't hate to point out that Shai isn't as strong or as athletic as Jordan. That's just the truth.
You don't know how much basketball I've watched. Stop projecting. You clearly have hate for all the people who paved the way. Disgusting.
You're worse than Skip Bayless with your asinine takes. Originality isn't a virtue if what you're saying is flat out stupid.

Just atrocious play on both sides. Your boi Shai only shot 6 for 17. That's your MVP?! What a joke. Only skills he has better than Michael Jordan the GOAT are flopping and getting bailed out by the refs!
I WISH Shai could have played in the 80s and 90s. The men in those days would give him a real reason to fall on the floor.
Then there's Wemby and Chet. What the heck was that? Wemby only had 4 rebounds. Chet only had 3. Just 7 combined rebounds for two dudes who are over 7 feet tall?! Pathetic. They should change their names to Wimpy and Chit.
Don't talk to me about no "guard skills" with 7 footers. Only skills I wanna see from them are banging in the paint, setting bone rattling picks, protecting the rim, and getting rebounds like real big men. Not jacking up 3s like little lady boys who are too scared to bang down low.
SMH
The game has passed you (and Jordan) by. Jordan could not have been able to keep up with the pace of today’s game. No grabbing, holding, no half court iso, no just throwing it into the post and standing around.
Players are so much more skilled today than 35 years ago. 7 footers shoot better than Jordan.
Weak comeback. You can't counter anything I said because you know everything I said about last night's game is true.

WRONG. I literally had a list of like 30 ways Jordan is better than LeBron.
I don't need to "prove" that Air Jordan was stronger and more athletic than Shai Gilgregious Alexflopper. Anyone with a functioning eye can see that. It's obvious.
I notice you have nothing to say to the guy talking trash about Jordan and all the guys who played in his era. So you think it's okay for people to disrespect the elders then. Is that it? Shame on you.
Maybe when you learn to show some respect to the people who paved the path for those who followed them, you won't be such an angry hateful person.
Glad to see you give up on the ridiculous premise that Jordan would be even close to the level of today’s players and have moved on to “respect your elders”. lol
I haven't give up on anything. I'm right here to tell you again that you are delusional.

Could you imagine Jordan trying to guard Anthony Edwards? Dunk, Dunk, Dunk, 3, Dunk, 3, Dunk, Dunk. Then Jordan quits like he always does.
I like Ant Man. He's ultra athletic (unlike Shai), I like his game, and I like his swagger. But he's not the ruthless competitor that Jordan was.
Edwards threw in the towel with over 8 minutes left in Game 6, congratulating the Spurs players on winning the series rather than fighting with all he had to try to mount a comeback. Pitiful. Jordan would have NEVER given up like that.
And what about Ant's performance in that Game 6? 9 for 26 shooting. Just horrible. On his home court with the season on the line, he crapped the bed.

Line your beanie babies up, practice the Macarena, dust off those VHS’s of 88-80 plod-fests and have a party. The NBA has passed you by.

Edwards (and SGA) would destroy Jordan. Jordan couldn’t handle Edward’s explosiveness. It would be dunk and 3pointer over and over again. SGA would foul Jordan out in the first half.

Lebron and Jordan are special in different ways. Both are titans. Pitting them against eachother just oozes negativity. Let’s just appreciate both and call it a day yeah?

Once again, you failed to counter any of my points because you know they're all true.
If anyone has given up here, it's you. All you got is "hE wOuLd DeStRoY jOrDaN!" That's not an argument.

I conceded that Jordan would have a Norman Powell-esque type career if he played today. I think I was overly generous, no?
Guys are much more skilled today. Magic and Penny were unicorns in the 90s because the were “huge” guards who brought the ball up the court and ran the point. “How can they do that? They should be playing down low!!!” Now you have 7 footers with the skills to do that and run the offense through them. I’d wager there are at least a dozen 7 footers in the league now that shoot the 3 better than Jordan did.
The game has passed you and Jordan by. He couldn’t hang with today’s skilled athletes.

Wow… the LeBronnies still haven’t come up with anything meaningful?? LOL
Everyone needs to watch this video. Confirms everything we already knew. Despite being in a deliberate no-defense era his entire career, LeBron is an inferior scorer, inferior shooter (his shooting from “outside 3 feet” is hilariously bad- the stats provided toward the end of the video are wild- he’s even WORSE in the clutch mind you), is an inferior defender, pathetically flops all the time (funny how his 6’9” / 265 lbs stature evaporates sometimes LOL), and has a 4-6 Finals record (including 4 of the most lopsided losses in NBA history!).
The 80s/90s were such a better era of basketball… looks at the defense, the physicality, the interior passing,… why did they turn such a beautiful game into all 3-pointers and dunks?? Sad.
See above, and watch the video. STARS and FACTS tell the story, LeFloppies. LeBron’s “outside 3 feet” FG% is hilariously poor… and EVEN WORSE in the clutch.
As all the NBA legends can admit, it’s MJ > LBJ, all day long… always and forever.

You aren’t allowed to play defense nowadays, bruh. No physicality at all. Pretty easy to make uncontested dunks and 3-pointers.
Jordan didn’t like shooting 3s because it had to potential to ruin the game (as it indeed has).
Still trying to figure out if you’re messing around here or not, posting over and over with these absurd takes.

”Nah, brah. I don’t want to ruin the game.

As this guy so eloquently lays out, the rule changes made after the 2004-05 season that removed all defense from the NBA were really to draw more ignorant, casual morons as spectators. People that know nothing of the game of basketball, but thought the video game “NBA Jam” was cool in the 90s. LOL
What has resulted? An unwatchable game, and hoards of clowns that think uncontested dunks, 3-pointers, and absurd flopping when barely/not touched is “basketball.” Sad.

The video is must watch- LOL! The clips in the second half are hilarious. The fouls called during 3-point shots when a defender simply *comes close* to the shooter are INSANE! WTF is this shiit nowadays??? No wonder everyone looks like a superstar and has no fear of being confronted on a drive!
What a joke the league has become. But again- who’s it really for? Yep- trying to attract more ignorant clowns that don’t even respect the game.

Look at how 3-point FGA has grown since its inception in 1980. 37 3s per game now??!! LOL!! The 3-point shooting percentage really hasn’t improved much at all though (always hovers somewhere around 35% since the mid-90s….. despite defense being intentionally removed from the game).

…while ALSO not allowing any physical defense. Pathetic. It’d be great to see the shock of today’s players being dropped into an 80s/90s game. LOL!
The FACT that 3s have become 40%+ of the game is flat out DISGUSTING. F whoever thought turning the game into “NBA Jam” was a positive thing.
Then again, most businesses are indeed after the MASSIVE, casual fan, “ignorant moron” demographic (all industries- soda/pop/snacks, energy drinks, beer, fast food, athletic apparel, video games, etc., etc.)… so what else should we expect?
