And to put things into perspective for you niccas saying stupid shyt like, "team full of white boys this and that", they beat the SHOWTIME Los Angeles Lakers for the NBA title in 1984 4-3. That team was predominantly BLACK

That 1984 title was the Lakers' to win, they only lost cause Magic played the end of every game with both hands around his neck. That's where the press started running with the "Tragic Johnson" nickname.

somehow Jordan's athleticism is becoming underrated. dude had a 1st step like Westbrook or Wall at 6'6. and a 48 inch vert. with a kyrie like layup package to go with it. every year I see a new highlight of the "early years Jordan" that I've never seen, that makes me go

talk to em

I thought this clown always took the last shot?

Jordan doesn't freely give credit or props to people, but he openly said that the late Dennis Johnson was as tough a defender as he'd seen.
Sure he hung at least 20 on DJ that night. Supreme Offense>Great Defense

Iceman was in that Bulls team?

 

[Art Barr]

"Tough defense" is a stretch. No one on that team could come close to matching MJ's size or athleticism. They were trying to D him up with 185lb DJ and 175lb Danny Ainge.

This picture gives you an idea of the defense played. MJ is shooting from the free-throw line with no pressure or hand in his face, his defender is a good 5-6 feet away. They were so scared of him going to the rim (cause they didn't have the rim-protectors to keep him away from it) that they were giving away those short jumpers like candy.

No Black defender within 50 feet.

It is obvious you never watched mj play one tick of a shotclock.
Why are you speaking in a topic you cognitively never even witnessed.
Yousa cleveland homer dookie lick'n bron fan and need to stfu at this point.
YOu can not even talk.
like you watched or hooped.
if you never saw this game.

Except for, you know, the fact that Bron never lost a series in a fashion anything like what Magic did in 1984. You can make other critiques of how he lost certain series, but since none was remotely comparable to 1984 you look pretty ridiculous to go with that one.

Stop blathering.

* I was watching MJ since before he ever won a playoff series
* You used "cognitively" wrong
* I'm not a Cleveland homer
* I've watched, hooped, AND coached

That's fine. If you thought I was a "Cleveland homer" from my posts that says more about you than about me.

 

[Art Barr]

I believe that is the pe sole.
to compensate for him coming back from his foot injury.

They retro'd those.
Plus have a bred pair.

Except the hypbeast never valued them as much as they should.
Worth a cop actually.
Especially if they get the pr.
like they should when the new retro chicago one's drop this year i believe.
