Imagine saying Magic Johnson only went to the Lakers for the winning culture when they hadn't last won anything in like 7 years, while he just won HS and NCAA championships... And others dapping that nonsense...

Imagine further listening to said folks basketball takes hereafter

Wild. Real wild.

Today’s players got mad skills, no doubt. i ain't gonna dispute that.
All those crossovers, step-backs, and dribble moves? Yeah, they’re flashy as hell, but lettuce be real—basketball ain’t about and1 mixed bags brehs. It’s a team sport. Magic didn’t need a bag full of dribbles to drop a dime.



Magic had the Lakers running and gunning, no need to spend 20 seconds dribbling around tryna create space for himself, when his game is all about creating space for others.

You sure about that



Plus if he does actually have AIDs,he made it to the Finals with it. Whats Ants excuse for not finishing the story?


The "shouldve been G.O.A.T",it took AIDs to stop him

yes, i'm sure magic johnson has HIV

Now even KG going in on him

We always were taught to respect our elders not the other way around. Thinking so is fukking insane. Magic Johnson is a 65 year old black man from Michigan who grew up during the civil rights era. To expect him to adhere to someone who doesn't even know what a VCR is, is insans.

When you were younger you were told to always address your elders as Mr. Mrs. , Sir, Ma'am etc.... as a sign of respect. It wasnt the other way around. Give credit to those who come before that way when you're the OG the same respect and deference is given upon you

Gen Z be all kinds of backwards.

The old heads are tough on the youngins, so I understand why they buck up.

Problem is that NO ONE but other Gen Z ballers is gonna rock with Ant vs Magic. You can win the verbal jabs but lose the war because the media, sponsors etc., see Magic as a Mt. Rushmore all-time great....and Ant is just a dude (relatively speaking).

If MJ said the same shyt about Ant, errbody would be like "yup, Ant need to keep his mouf shut."

Stop talking and win first...then talk yo shyt. People shyt talked young MJ as a ballhog by the ol skool set. Every generational talent will get some of that hate until they win rings.

NBA legends probably went from "This dude Noah Lyles is tripping" to "This dude Noah Lyles is spittin."

"You want to invite me to [an event for] a man who has not even been to an NBA Finals?"

NBA is becoming tiresome with the constant comparisons between old and new. That’s the part that fans and players need to end.

No.

If ypu had a league pass.

You would see.

It is really a skill eroding league.

Even lower in skill than the low basketball iq league.
the mid nineties was grafted Into from the fifteen and ten era.

In that players lack reference and also exhibit disconnect as ball players. Reducing most play into a higher level example of luxury white boi athletic club level play.
Which is only the nba because it has a logo. adorned with the silhouette of Jerry west.

outside players like zion or kawhi. Skillwise most players do not really give you an evolution of skill set. That people like to taut as being more skilled. Whej this generatioj is just kids who were un programs oarticipating. Not the built with higher skill like the seventies to blacktop era. Before crack ruined all of america. After amer8ca was already declining from government funding being stripped from american scholastics systemically from republican purposeful urban decay being instituted. For the further discovery zone to plummet America into the global decay it currently endure. Which also extends to everything including basketball.

Yet in that. The talent in basketball should have their own discovery. Plus create forums of discovery to grt better. When they do aim to have these areas of discovery and are remedial in every metric of skill because of it. Plus when asked to or needing to employ amy advanced skillset. Is so deficient from lack of discovery. Are incapable of generally finishing in completing high skilled plays. Let alone skill finishes. Either with ot without duress as well. As this generation if player lacks proper discovery to be great and highly skilled as their pr would mislead you to think.

Yet on prolonged view of the entire league for years. With access and actual viewing of every game. It becomes obvious that this generation if player is not as skilled.

Plus any quality or skillset.
that could be enhanced.
from having exceptional skill is also lacking as well.
