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. :yeshrug:

No it WAS accurate and you acknowledged the change your self. How you gonna point to shyt that a nikka improved upon as a basis to downgrade him now aka after he improved? :wtf: John only has a point if Mike never improved his J or his left. It's like saying Kobe was never the best player in the L because he didn't start his first two years or Bron isn't he best player now because his defense was ass when he came into the league.

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


:snoop:

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

Thats not what I got from that conversation. He was saying Dream Team 1 wasnt Michael Jordan and a bunch of other guys that were really good...it was about everybody and all of them we great.

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

Well Shaq won 3/4

Duncan won 3/4

The Dream has 2/2

Jordan carried an era that needed carrying in order for the NBA to be relevant like it is today.

All this is hypothetical and cannot be proven, but I saw a 40 year old Kareem drop 40 plus twice on Hakeem/Sampson.

I remember it so vividly as a kid because of how my uncles were acting.

Then I saw a somewhat prime Hakeem dog the admiral and school Shaq.

Kareem prime>>than Dream/Shaq.

Shaq could have been top 5 all time if he wanted to though

He was 38 when that happened and on defense he would get ate by shaq

Hakeem got over on shaq cuz Olajuwon is a top 3 defender and the most skilled C of all time.
