Gil: “MJ was a Bugatti in an era of Honda Civics”

[Remote]

You want to know why you argue like a bish would? You said MJ wasn’t good at going left in the 91 finals, and? MJ won the 1991 finals in 5 games and was FMVP.

You now say he wasn’t good at generating offense with his left earlier in his career, and? MJ led the NBA in scoring 10 times and has the highest ppg in the regular season and playoffs in NBA history.

Like I said, exercise in futility. Only bishes argue just to argue with emotions instead of logic.

My goodness.

A person runs out of bread crumbs quickly trying to talk to you.

It never occurred to you that Jordan could be successful AND have weaknesses?

You're the dumbass muh'fukka that wanted to see the "real tape", and it was provided for you.

How the fukk are you going to get mad and backtrack on your original demand when it was met? If you didn't want to be proven wrong on that point, why even ask for evidence in the first place? Not every single element of MJ's play that is criticized means you need to argue against it. You can just not reply to that poster, you do know that, right? Just skip past the post and don't click on quote.

You now say he wasn’t good at generating offense with his left earlier in his career, and?

And, just that.

Someone made a comment about MJ having a weak handle (more specifically using his left hand), and when you called cap and asked for evidence, it was shown to you. It's really not that serious. You can just move on. You don't need to keep defending his honor pointing out what he did throughout his career.

MJ led the NBA in scoring 10 times and has the highest ppg in the regular season and playoffs in NBA history.

Yeah, led the league in scoring with a whole lot of other cats who also couldn't drive with their left either. This isn't hitting like you think it is.

Like I said, exercise in futility. Only bishes argue just to argue with emotions instead of logic.

Need I remind you that you're the one who argued the point in the first place, all in your feelings because someone pointed out a flaw in his skillset. I guess that makes you a bytch then.

 

[havoc]

why make shyt up breh. especially when he got better at that later in his career. this is why NBA discussion isn't taken seriously.

Those are highlights, lol. Mike Peek who started We Done with the 90s movement posted games of Jordan struggling going left. The videos of Jordan of being clumsy going left exists in Youtube and Facebook. The BAD BOYS Pistons exploited Jordan's weakness by forcing him left. Isiah Thomas confirmed that was main strategy of the Jordan Rules in his interview with ALL THE SMOKE.

Michael Jordan wasn't proficient going left but for whatever reason, Pistons were the only team that scheme on his weakness while other teams didn't bother to follow the Jordan Rules.

When did I disagree about the weakness stuff? I told the dude to post the MJ can’t go left videos.

I never said anything about MJ style of play, i usually point out the results of said style of play.

Put it this way Bron Stanley, if Lebron’s style of play didn’t produce any chips then he would be Harden/Westbrook status. Apply this same logic to MJ. Whether he went right/left/center/backwards/forwards/up/down/vertical or horizontal it still resulted in a perfect 6-0 chips without allowing game 7 plus 6 FMVPs.

Why would you even bring up LeBron?
Do you have some undiagnosed mental illness?

Just trying to be relatable to you

 

[Heretic]

Nikola Jokic resembles a 80’s-early 90’s type of ball player and he’s a multiple MVP winner in this era so fukk what any of these nikkas talkinbout

He literally plays like a "lesser" version of Larry Bird. His game is Bird to a T

 

[Heretic]

How tf can a player with this many left handed finishes not go left

It's a dumb take from one person that took flight. He absolutely could, maybe not great early on but he developed it. The most underrated part of his game was his handles.



I watched this clip and I see stuff that still isn't replicated in a total package to this very day. He's one of those players that would dominate in every era. Also as you can see, some of his most famous clips were him using his left, including that dribble out of the double into the dunk on Ewing against the Knicks. It was him using his left

Ya that dunk on ewing should shut up the can’t go left crowd. Jordan obviously wanted to go right but he was efficient anyway. Don’t really see him dribbling air out the ball.

That's exactly what he was, efficient, he got to his spot didn't waste energy.

and it still didn't work. they got EXTREMELY PHYSICAL with dude and for his career in the regular season vs the Bad Boys he put up 31 ppg in the regular season and in the playoffs 30ppg shooting 46% from the floor.

per the below video, he was SENSATIONAL when going to the RIGHT,
and GREAT going to the LEFT.

Yup, their stats are damn near identical too

What do you mean by a "lesser" version? Jokic is a better player than Bird was.

Besides that, his game isn't really like Bird's, at all. Did you just use that comparison because they're unathletic white boys who can score/pass?

Yup, their stats are damn near identical too

It's rather meaningless to compare their averages given Nikola started off his career with a reduced role and minutes.

Bird averaged 38 minutes to get those stats
Jokic averaged 31 minutes to get those stats.

If you want to use box score stats, then it's best to take their best stretches, respectively:

From '84-'88, Bird averaged 26 ppg on 54 eFG%, 9 rebounds and 6 assists (per 36 mins)
From '20-'24, Jokic averaged 27 ppg on 62 eFG%, 13 rebounds and 9 assists (per 36 mins).

There is no way to factually say that Jokic is a better player than Bird since they played in different eras and didn’t play against each other.

We can only judge them off what they have accomplished in their respective eras. Bird led the 80s dynasty Celtics to win 3 chips in 5 finals appearances which is the end goal for being great. Jokic would need to do more to surpass Bird on an all time list. So far Jokic only won 1 chip in 1 finals appearance.
