mj definitely had great timing as far as his career

that period of dominance was dry outside the bulls

mj ain't have consistent wreck in comparison to now where the talent pool is overflowing worldwide

*
MJ the only player I seen where his detractors argue that the game and talent pool evolves for every era/generation except his own. every decade the players and talent got better but suddenly stopped at the time when he was winning and then started back up again after he retired.

So. Cal
Can someone explain why basketball is the only sport where you get these dumbass hot takes trying diminish what players from previous eras accomplished?

You never hear people trying to shyt on what Jim Brown or Hank Aaron did.
Its actually the opposite with football. Earlier eras gets more props for their accomplishments due to the league being soft and watered down now a days.

the wilt chamberlainization of MJ is beginning :lolbron:
The problem with that is with Wilt, he openly admitted to chasing stats, like the time he led the NBA in assists because he was told he couldn’t. Plus for all his high scoring early in his career, Jordan still has a higher scoring average, and won 6 titles to Wilt’s 2 (which is why some don’t place Wilt as high on the list). Also, when you look at Jordan’s high scoring seasons, they’re not so unreachable like Wilt’s 50ppg average. James Harden just led the NBA in scoring about 7-8 years ago relying on shooting a lot of 3s and FTs. Jordan scored in a wider variety of ways than Harden and did it more efficiently.

The players of today are faster, stronger, are better athletes, shooters and have higher skills than the vast majority of 90s players, the science and nutrition aspect is better, just based on that aspect alone i dont see the argument

Means nothing without the IQ. If you were to drop Ricky Davis off in the 1970s era, is he a HOFer? :unimpressed:

Only c00ns who were not raised on Dr j do this.
All this hoopla over mike.

When these nikkaz do not know.
the basic gateway start at Dr j.
Then culturally you migrate to understanding bill russell. To understand the coup against Wilt by red auerbach.

The problem with these nikkaz is they lack urban intellectualism.
Plus raised somewhere in the burbs.
On top of.
did not apply themselves like mj. Yet all of these cap'n ass nikkaz.
try to act like they were super thorough.
when their infeior in every possibel way.
Will not fully apply themselves.
only propped because of suntimes and tribune talking points with Mariotti and bayless were thwarted by Mike's success. That eventually other news paper rag outlets picked up. From trying to reverse engineer the spreadsheet return marks of the tribune and suntimes. Eho employed Marietta and bayless to write neg based critique of jordan. Which is rooted in raging colts meets kuklos rhetoric and dialogue.

So all this mj neg shyt.
Meets diss the older generation shyt.
is only used by a goofie and c00n.
As real talk.....

All the guys who use it as a talking point are goofies
with a damaged beyond repair culture thief style draw at their core.
