Michael Jordan Greatest Ever

[thekeyman]

I know,at least for me,that its very hard to make quotes like this as different era's there is always some spectacular player(Lebron James)that comes along who can't be stopped.Its probably easier to ask,who was the most dominate player ever.I didn't see the whole segment of THE LAST DANCE,and i wish i did


So for me its Michael Jordan

The Last Dance was a pretty good watch...It was cool to see the behind the scenes stuff because back then it just was not as accessible as it is today.

I think Jordan is the GOAT myself.

What I liked from it was he was such a competitive person that people people hated him back in the day. But now that they are older and look back on him he gets nothing but respect from those guys. They see that is leadership and the way he pushed those guys buttons were all about winning.

Would have loved to seen those Bulls teams against the 80s Celtics and Lakers. When you talk skill and will he probably is number 1. I don't think they would beat either of those teams though assuming they are healthy. Throw in the Warriors while you are at it

It's surely not this flopping fraud:

The Bulls were swept in 86 and 87 by the Celtics in the playoffs.

I'm pretty sure he's referring to the championship Bulls teams going back and playing those Celtics teams... not the Bulls team that existed in 86/87.

86 Celtics vs. 96 Bulls <-- That would be a great series

I always liked Jordan and the Bulls... I don't care for the earring(s) that he wears. I think players like Tim Duncan will remain my real favorite in retirement.

:hahahahah LeBron couldn't carry m.j.'s jock strap

Then why did he keep losing over and over to Bill Russell?

not bad but...the lakers were the best in the 80's

Because it is a team game.

Hakeem was better than Shaq. Maybe better than Wilt Who knows. Surely more skilled. Shaq practically committed a foul on every offensive play. All he did was ram(which should have been called a foul much more often) his back into players then dunk on mostly crap centers. I was just making the point to why he(Wilt) didn't win more compared to Russell I would say Hakeem and Jabbar best centers

 

[shdw01]

I still think Lebron. I agree he is a baby that flops and cries.

but anyone that thinks he is too fragile to play in the 80s/90s NBA is nuts. Lebron is a beast.

Jordan might come into today's NBA and just light shit up....making him the GOAT

But the idea that Lebron isn't athletic/tough enough to compete in any era is totally biased

Gotcha...Those Celtics teams were so dominant.

My favorite team of all time, the 1986 Celtics, with Walton coming off the bench.

I grew up in New England and watched all the televised Celtics games in the 80's. Sadly, I could never get tickets to see Larry play,
as they were always sold out.
