Is Michael Jordan the greatest basketball player ever?

[FTBS]

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

Yeah they knew that they were a better team.

If he knew so much why didn't he go to another bench and tell them the "top secret" instead of going to the Bulls?

That was some level attention whoring followed by shotty reasoning. John just wanted nikkas talking about him and it worked.

Nah I think his error is the fact he made it seem like Mike never improved. Everything he said was accurate as it pertained to Mike in the 80's. The Pistons gave MJ fits, its no secret. They had the Jordan rules, again no secret.

But Mike evolved beyond what Salley is talking about and that's what makes it sound so ridiculous.

 

[god shamgod]

Yea salley made it sound like Mike didn't drop 61,59,57,51,48,49 and several games in the 30's on the pistons

This was Before the bulls beat them.Mike always got off the bulls as a team couldn't beat the pistons

 

[mastermind]

Your Mike hate is becoming pathetic breh...



So now his resume is a figment of our imagination created by Nike?

Im startin to think some of yall got beat up by a crew of n!ggas in Bulls Starter jackets as a child...

when did I ever say that?

And I dont hate Mike the player, he and Magic are two of my favorite players ever.

What I did say is people saying his resume is clearly the best or that he is clearly the best player without a doubt were influenced by Nike and the NBA.

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

nice

 

[SuikodenII]

Yes.

 

[Bolzmark]

Hold up. Stop the thread. Did Salley just say Dream Team 1 was really more about Clyde Drexler more so than Michael Jordan?

The point is his reasoning was flawed.

 

[kash10003]

overanalysis, jordan is the goat, maybe top 5 -15 human beings of all time

 

[Field Marshall Bradley]

The 6 finals MVPs(to Kareem's 2) push him over the top

Kareem was a NBA MVP for two separate teams. 6 NBA MVPs total.

How many big men get finals MVPs? They in a class by themself.

About 17 all star games and all time leader in points scored.

6 rings

All this in a much deeper era talent wise

Tell Salley to stick to hosting Basketball Wives reunion shows

 

[JahBuhLun]

But really it boils down to Salley wanting to hate but disguise it as scholarly observation, plus not too many people in Jordan's era have cosigned him as the GOAT, last month CLyde Drexler was shytting on him.

 

[Indigo Ant]

I don't think there really is such thing as a GOAT. But he has the greatest combination of everything with the best career.

This sounds about right to me.

 

[MooseMouthMthafuga]

Push him left, huh?

Cut it out, John.....The salt levels is

Maybe your understanding is flawed. Everything he said was 100% accurate, but he didn't tell the whole truth because Mike's career didn't end with what he was talking about. But nothing he said was untrue.

It's like when I tell my wife I'm going to the store but don't tell her I'm stopping by the weed man's house too.

Ummmm, he said Dream Team 1 was more about Drexler. Thats 100% accurate in your opinion?
