Isiah Thomas disputes Michael Jordan's GOAT status, says LeBron and Kevin would've dominated on 80s

[ISO]

I say dwade is the closest, had a similar hangtime to jordan and ability to freak the layup, but rose similar as well. Young D-rose tho in my opinion is much more athletic than jordan or wade was. nikka was 6'3 with his head above the rim. Jordan and wade obviously did more with it but that another topic...

D-Wade didn’t have bounce like that. He only had a 35 inch vertical which is pretty average/solid for a guard he just had a crazy wingspan and was fast.

There’s tons of athletes in the game today who can run and jump at an elite level.

LeBron is the most athletic player I’ve ever seen. 6’8 260 lb., arguably the fastest end to end, great body control for his mass, 44 inch vertical, crazy acceleration and explosion.

Yes, there is. Every team has athletes.

MJ hand size allows him to palm the ball and do more acrobatic things but in terms of running and jumping you can find guys on that level in this era.

This isn't a personal attack or me disagreeing but instead of throwing out this general statement, just name the athletes.

d wade explosiveness and hangtime was definitely not average i dont care what his vertical jump was.

Isiah Thomas ain't Steve Kerr breh. Isiah grew up in a situation a lot more dangerous than one Mike grew up in.

What does that mean?

 

[ThaBoyBam]

Zeke don’t like that nikka so this isn’t surprising
