We label MJ the GOAT, but do we forget that he completely, voluntarily spurned

Must disagree on this point

Like TNT cares what some snooty Frenchie is doing

1) It has nothing to do with it. 2) He would probably have more titles if he

Kerbouchard

5/27/17 1:47pm

But he didn't. He quit, he left, he said he didn't need basketball anymore.

TheLoneCougar

5/27/17 1:50pm

What did he do when he was playing? That's all that matters.

Kerbouchard

5/27/17 1:54pm

This is ludicrous. You realize his dad was murdered right?

Shteve

Or he could have never won again because he gets injured or something else.

The GOAT is entitled to an occasional diversion from time to time.

RebelScum

That is a fair response.

Should we put lunch on this?

You can buy me lunch whenever you want.

I don't understand this argument

donnerstag

5/27/17 1:50pm

What don't you understand? It is a point against Jordan just like Jordan has

Baron

5/27/17 1:57pm

Besides, it's as relevant to the discussion as MJ's 6-for-6 stat...

benny1982

5/27/17 2:01pm

Why is it a point against him?

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:02pm

He actually lost in the playoffs when he came back. He couldn't do it straight

Baron

5/27/17 2:05pm

You penalize him for playing a 17 game season?

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:10pm

And you're penalizing LeBron for taking a pile of garbage to the finals and not

benny1982

5/27/17 2:13pm

No. His teams have been stacked

donnerstag

Ha ha ha.

By what defintion do you determine if they are stacked?

benny1982

5/27/17 2:23pm

It's well known that he was playing on super teams

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:26pm

Where did I call them garbage? Please provide the quote.

Baron

5/27/17 2:27pm

Oops. That was directed at benny's quote above

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:31pm

Holy crap. Not only do you put words into my mouth, you accept as fact that

benny1982

5/27/17 2:29pm

Tha vast majority of fans considered those super teams

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:37pm

I am just correcting your incorrect statement.

Baron

5/27/17 2:14pm

He was just as dominant in his next full season back

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:21pm

To you it does. That is the beauty of it. Everything matters to different

Baron

5/27/17 2:23pm

Lots of reasons it can be a knock? Because he was bored?

Shteve

5/27/17 2:11pm

It could be all of the above and it can still be held against him if you want.

Baron

5/27/17 2:22pm

"Lebron hasn't needed a break." LMBO Yeah, like MJ needed a break. SMH...

Kerbouchard

5/27/17 2:15pm

You don't know that. All of it is conjecture. Don't you see that?

Baron

5/27/17 2:19pm

Um did you watch those finals? Full Bulls team rolls Houston.

Shteve

5/27/17 2:22pm

You do know that you can't know that right? Can't I say that MJ has a terrible

Baron

5/27/17 2:25pm

Or that the wear and tear on MJ during those 2 years has an effect on him

benny1982

5/27/17 2:27pm

Or he retires 2 years sooner because he doesn't take the break. We don't know.

Baron

5/27/17 2:30pm

You don't know he DID need a break, so don't say that. And I didn't say he WOULD

Kerbouchard

5/27/17 2:35pm

Well he probably needed a break. There is that better?

Baron

5/27/17 2:36pm

Not really. The statement is still stupid, because there's zero evidence that he

Kerbouchard

5/27/17 6:35pm

Lol.

WDaddy

5/27/17 7:18pm

Actually I have a two year break as evidence and you have imaginary titles so

Baron

5/27/17 8:19pm

What are you talking about? He brought the NBA out of obscurity?

Mathew

I believe I addressed this.

Players from 1992 during Jordan's title run

donnerstag

5/27/17 2:07pm

This was almost incoherent to me

CSoul

5/27/17 2:08pm

This can be easily interpreted as MJ being so GOAT that it was boring playing
