Doesn't make Jordan less of man in my eyes. The tactics the Pistons were using on Mike and the Bulls were not basketball.
Neither is nut-tapping

People can genuinely have a difference of opinion. Like im a Bron fan and i have him 3rd all time behind MJ and Kareem. People gonna use whatever narrative to fit their position on this. MJ stans gonna use 6 for 6 with 6 finals mvps and Bron stans gonna use top 3 in scoring and top 10 in assists all time. Both all time great players, no need to shyt on 1 to prop the other up. Enjoyed watching MJ greatness while he played and enjoy watching Bron now. People be literally putting all they energy on hating on a all time great to argue for another great player. i use to entertain that shyt with the Kobe Bron stan wars every now and then, shyt was just stupid looking back on it.im a bron stan, and I would never use this as a source to prop up bron. but then again, I'm not gon lie. that's why we love sports. the browns is trash and them not winning keeps ppl from changing the narrative.
Jordan is the goat. I don't like it, but it's true. why couldn't my generation have the goat? idk. but im not gon sit here and lie to make myself feel better.

"I don't say anything derogatory to any player.....except for maybe laimbeer, but everyone can understand that. He's a very dirty player. He can't jump. He can't block shots. He can't block my shot. So he has to play dirty and try to injure you."
It was basketball. He just bytched to the commissioner and got them on the NBA started on the road of softening of the game that you dudes complain about today. It all started there.

if you're a man with power and don't use it, you're an idiot. Jordan did nothing wrong. the way I see basketball, if u shooting a shot everybody knows u can't make, u shouldn't get the call if the ref can get away with not giving it to u.
that's what makes officiating great players difficult. everything a defender does that's illegal is stopping a potential basket from the moment the ball is live. its all about setting a precedent if you're a great player or someone defending a great.
All valid pointsI don't see how u can use individual stats. personally, I can't separate a baller from the team, even in individual sports cause they still have a team. if Jordan doesn't have the right pieces, he's simply not the greatest.
I believe things out of the control of the individual contribute to them being the greatest.
I don't have popular opinions. like I don't put an asterisk on kd's rings. ppl who never pushed their bodies to the limit don't appreciate what players go thru playing into June.
if u come away from that as a champion, I respect it. I can now only compare u to other champions. kd cannot lead a team by himself, and he also cannot beat bron without doing what he did up to this point in his career. I think this is clear as day and I respect kd for being honest with himself.
I never forget when a nikka beats me in a game of hoops. if there's a gap in skill or teams, I acknowledge that. it doesn't have to be that way forever, but deal with the moment.
something such as egos being put aside and ppl teaming up could have put a dent in MJ's legacy, but it didn't.
ppl learned from Jordan's era, and the future generation adjusted. can't blame Jordan because greatness didn't adjust with this new mindset.
why didn't reggie go to the Knicks? other ppl are to blame as to why one person ends up being the greatest.
kd made a decision to make sure bron couldn't get close to Jordan. I understand why ppl hate him for it, but again, I respect him for doing what he felt he had to do.
to this day, kd's name would be closer to Melo's if he didn't get ringed up.
All valid points, what your thoughts on Bill Russell and where you have him amongst your all time greats?
Why are you acting like the Pistons developed tough defense to beat the Bulls as if they didn't run that defensive scheme on literally every team in the league?That was not basketball. Nothing wrong with hand checking or hard fouls within the rules and context of the game. Imagine NBA losing a few of their superstars to serious injuries because of these tactics. He did not bytch up, because he did not run and beat them straight up. They had to downright assault this dude and his team to keep them in check because they knew Mike and the Bulls were a legitimate threat.
It was basketball. It was THEIR BRAND of basketball. Today, like in hip hop, everyone plays the same which is why the game is repetitive.That was not basketball.

dudes just want to give MJ a pass for bytching to the commissioner. All while being the same ones patting MJ on the back for being an a$$hole teammate and that other players should accept his behavior because it got ships.
The irony.
