But did they win at the level he did? Also adults can't be bullied, only kids can be bullied. If you're a grown ass man saying someone bullied you then you're soft.

:unimpressed:

Yeah, they did.

Bullying is the use of force, coercion, or threat, to abuse, aggressively dominate or intimidate. The behavior is often repeated and habitual. One essential prerequisite is the perception (by the bully or by others) of an imbalance of physical or social power.

Ignorant to claim only kids can be bullied.

I wouldn't say he had MJ mentality, Miller was a killer but he wasn't a Leopard like MJ. Miller was more like a Tiger. While I am one who thinks Klay is much better, Reggie's mindset is a thousand times better than Klay's. There is a reason why one elevates his game in big games and the other shrinks. You would never see this from Reggie

klay-fouled-out.jpg

I think Klay has lived somewhat of a charmed existence in the NBA..Perfect system for his skillset.Perfect compliment to the GOAT shooter.

3rd-4th banana on stacked squads.Media vultures almost seem to forget he exist.While I think he's a better defender than Reggie, overall, I

don't see Klay being the #1 option on a team that makes it to the Finals, or pushes a Jordan's Bulls to the brink of elimination.We've never

seen him deal with the pressure of being "the man".He's a sniper, but it's always been nice & cozy for Klay.I put him in the category of GOAT

complimentary players.He's a 2nd/3rd option on any good team.Klay can barely dribble the ball beyond a rudimentary level or make any type

of ISO moves....Never really had to.I think Reggie had much better short area quickness & range of motion.like I could see Klay being right there

with him in the 40 yd dash, but I think Reggie would kill him in cone drills.Reggie was more elusive with his movements/pump fakes.Might be top

5 all time when it came to grit & craftiness.I mean, it's a toss up IMO.I couldn't say one was much better than the other.Personally, I'd give Reggie the

nod because walked through the fires of being an alpha dog.

He's definitely an a$$hole. I just think he felt he was doing what was best for the team. Kinda reminds you of Kobe but it all backfired at the end of Kobe. No one wanted to join the Lakers when they were on a search to add a superstar to play with Kobe after basketball reasons happened with Stern.
What kind of bullshyt is this? Dwight and Nash were stars who wanted to come to LA and then Kobe tore his Achilles at which point everybody figured he was done for. There was never a window after basketball reasons for any other superstar to join Kobe before the Achilles tear.

Great documentary so far but I have one big problem I can't get over. They really tried to insinuate Jordan lost 2 games to the Sonics on purpose so he could win on father's day :francis: so we're just going to ignore the fact that he never had a vintage game the moment Payton was guarding him. I finally watched the games a few weeks ago and it was clear as day Jordan was trying his hardest but just couldn't shake the glove off.

I guess history is written by the victors :francis:
