We are just a bunch of stupid internet nerds anyway - don't let it bother you.

In fact, there are more than a handful of guys here who would make me feel better about myself if they called me stupid.

MJ had a hunger and killer instinct like no one ever. Somehow someway MJ would better LJ.

He flew his high school coach out for his hall of fame speech

As a kid I read all these stories. the whole high school story is a lot more myth and I doubt it was to rub it in his

I think he was half drunk when he gave the speech, not a good look for MJ

kolob32

5/26/17 11:28am

What I have never really understood is how people say nobody could match MJ's

crack

5/26/17 10:20am

Not everyone is sure he chose to just walk away.

cougarstolz

5/26/17 10:21am

You've got to take into context his personal life at that point.

SouthernBlueBlood

5/26/17 10:28am

He walked away into another professional sport

Jordan has 30 more stolen bases than LeBron. 3 more homers too.

TCuz

I will always wonder what Lebron's numbers would look like if he had a great

i will always wonder what MJ's #'s would look like in today's NBA esp with

nashty

5/26/17 10:24am

Prove it.

benny1982

5/26/17 10:28am

ok...oct 26, 1985 should do it right?

nashty

5/26/17 10:31am

Exactly.

benny1982

5/26/17 10:32am

so because i can't actually do this i can't have an opinion about what would

nashty

5/26/17 10:34am

Nope. I didn't say that. Just funny how sure everyone in this discussion is when

benny1982

5/26/17 10:43am

that's why your comment is stupid.

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:34am

really? stupid?

nashty

5/26/17 10:36am

you can have an opinion and i can call it dumb. to speculate about what

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:42am

not really. it's not hard to figure out what MJ would do in today's NBA

nashty

5/26/17 10:47am

Yeah, he's 54.

benny1982

5/26/17 10:49am

Okay calling someones thought stupid is immature and shows a lack of personal judgement

SouthernBlueBlood

5/26/17 10:48am

Methinks it just shows that he is significantly smarter than his critics

CougarThug

5/26/17 11:15am

slow down there.

SouthernBlueBlood

5/26/17 10:40am

AMEN

SouthernBlueBlood

5/26/17 10:28am

Meh. You can also play zones and double guys before they get the ball in the NBA

ballen

5/26/17 10:28am

And zone defenses

Josef K

MJ dominated the NBA during its greatest era of all time

BigYfan

5/26/17 10:22am

the greatest era is right now.

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:24am

LOL

BigYfan

5/26/17 10:25am

A dude just averaged a triple double (previously thought impossible in today's

Take the 30 best players of all time

BigYfan

5/26/17 10:27am

hahahahahaha - please name them then

The Shazad

5/26/17 10:29am

off the top of my head

BigYfan

5/26/17 10:48am

you just listed Kareem, Kobe, KG, and Tim Duncan as contemporaries of Jordan

The Shazad

5/26/17 11:08am

They belong in the same era

BigYfan

5/26/17 11:17am

That's like saying LeBron and Pippen belong in the same era

GregOstertag

5/26/17 11:40am

I'm not talking one season where Jordan was a rookie genius

BigYfan

5/26/17 12:10pm

Tim Duncan

The Shazad

5/26/17 1:15pm

then remove Duncan from my list and add

BigYfan

5/26/17 1:53pm

no one considers James Worthy top 30 all time

The Shazad

5/26/17 1:58pm

James Worthy??

messi

5/26/17 2:20pm

Lebron has faced much, much better teams in the Finals than Jordan did.

messi

5/26/17 12:08pm

how many teams do you think there used to be back then?

The Shazad

5/26/17 1:22pm

lol. and who would those 20 be? remember Jordan made is run in the 90s

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:29am

he was the UNQUESTIONED alpha dog of the greatest team ever assembled:

nashty

5/26/17 10:33am

and this is relevant to the question asked, how?

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:35am

he said name 20 of the greatest players of all time that played during MJ's

nashty

5/26/17 10:37am

I count 13 by this list:

Baron

5/26/17 10:43am

15 including Jordan using this list:

Baron

5/26/17 10:50am

he said 20 of the top 30

The Shazad

5/26/17 10:44am

i'd say 8 of those guys, at most were top 30 players and that is being kind

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:46am

RE: lol. and who would those 20 be? remember Jordan made is run in the 90s

crack

5/26/17 10:38am

alright morons...some may not remember this but here you go:

nashty

5/26/17 10:47am

ha. he said when Jordan made his run. i'm unimpressed if he lost to

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:52am

It is the 1996 ranking. The list did not include Lebron.

Baron

5/26/17 10:53am

You're list isn't fair either

Remigius

5/26/17 12:16pm

Keep in mind this list was made in 1996 so that kind of doesn't even include

Baron

5/26/17 10:53am

Not sure why you are so sensitive about this - people can have different

crack

5/26/17 10:54am

well i've been called "stupid" several times already. just throwing the fire

nashty

5/26/17 10:56am

We are just a bunch of stupid internet nerds anyway - don't let it bother you.

crack

5/26/17 11:13am

Bill Walton???

The Shazad

5/26/17 11:12am

Ok, then let's consider LJ, but only the years when his team won a championship.

CougarThug

5/26/17 11:22am

On this list there are 4 that are still playing:

Baron

5/26/17 10:34am

if we take that list as gospel - and there are plenty i don't agree with -

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:41am

kinda funny that there are adults who don't understand this concept.

smokymountainrain

5/26/17 10:28am

Two super teams? Man I feel bad for you if you truly think so

The greatest era will always be the next era. There will be drop offs of

Baron

5/26/17 10:26am

But not necesarily better rules for how the game is played

fbguru

5/26/17 10:28am

True. Rules may impact that but at the skill level

Baron

5/26/17 10:31am

The next era will finally have big ballers in the NBA.

BYUheaven

5/26/17 10:29am

Ha, yes. True. Let the Ball era commence.

messi

5/26/17 10:40am

Yes, very simple concept. The game will evolve and grow. Especially

messi

5/26/17 10:29am

ha ha...no..."now" is finally APPROACHING the greatest era of the NBA

nashty

5/26/17 10:27am

That's just your nostalgia getting the best of you.

messi

5/26/17 10:34am

not really...i believe 1992 dream team would destroy any grouping of 10 guys

nashty

5/26/17 10:36am

didn't they lose to a group of college bball players?

The Shazad

5/26/17 10:40am

this is like bringing up a high school scrimmage that LBJ lost as proof he's not

nashty

5/26/17 10:48am

i know - it was a joke

The Shazad

5/26/17 11:01am

Are we taking the Dream Team players at their prime or as they were in 1992?

GregOstertag

5/26/17 11:01am

The athleticism and shooting ability of today's players would make the 80s guys

mudpupper

5/26/17 10:42am

But if the 80s guys had the benefit of coming up through today's system, they'd
