I just find it funny that so many of you just default to MJ for anything basketball related.

You hear the word basketball and before any topic or parameters are set, y'al yell out "Michael Jordan!"

Who's the greatest bas-......"Michael Jordan!"

And yet many of you never saw the first half of his career. I'm older than some of y'all and I didnt even start watching bball til like '89.

Greatest NBA player ever? Ehh, maybe....it depends on your criteria though.

Greatest basketball player ever? Probably not. There's tons of people who never made it to the NBA due to a variety of reasons who could have been as good or possibly better.

But a lot of Players in his era were doing that. It was far more common

hes shot 50 percent

if thats your argument, Wilt shot 54% for his career.

I'm cool with Mike not being the GOAT. I'm not cool with this nikka acting like it was easy to shut the nikka down.

"Just make him go left"

That's all you had to do huh? It was that easy?

If he had made the big man argument then he woulda been on to somethin but the entire basis of this nikka's argument was "Just make him go left and he didn't have jumper when he was in college". Nothing more than compensated ing.

That don't make one cotdamn bit of sense.

The Gawd is/going the GOAT. He had to reach the bar that Jordan and Magic set, and he still isn't finished. Lebron started to late.

I was thinking the whole time, why didn't everybody try to make him go left then? And wasn't he going left when he hit that game winner over Byron Russel?

He didn't really start late imo. he's right on schedule. Most champs don't win in their early twenties. On their own at least.

They used to handle the Bulls with ease so apparently they knew something.

Jordan is receiving backlash because of the media's constant praise of him

There is also a generation of kids who never watched mike play in his prime.They dont understand the hype

Kareem is the brett favre of the nba he played 19 years and racked up mad numbers he isnt the best C or even most skilled.I personally think shaq would destroy kareem in the post

Kevin McHale??

Hakeem the Dream

There's no such thing as winning on your own. Go ahead and use the "Main man'' excuse, i''m waiting..........
