MJ is the GOAT and this tweet just proves it : mindblown:

[Osmosis]

How was Horace Grant and BJ Armstrong somehow enough for MJ but not Pip? Shaq wasn’t even the same player he was in 2006 as he was in 2005. This Shaq gravity angle went from being a solid basketball discussion to being the most overstated angles in sports history. They conveniently forget how much Wade was carrying the load when Shaq missed games in the regular seasons. Somehow Wades decline is a constant footnote of the LeBron big 3 era, but Shaqs decline is always ignored for his former glory and what he used to be. Lakers carryover. Wade-Shaq was NOT the duo y’all think it was when Miami won in 2006. I watched the season from beginning to Game 6 against Dallas. This retconning is hilarious.

How does a center play with 2 of the top 5 shooting guards in NBA history, and the guards legacies always have to defer to his? Ok, I can see why the first 3 with Kobe would be Shaqs, but ain’t no way a center can average 18ppg and the running mate average 28ppg, and the SG has to defer. Stop trying to “little man” Wades legacy because of Shaq.

Because he also had Pippen?

How you gonna ignore that MJ had another top 10/All-NBA player as his sidekick while Pippen won 55 games with Pete Myers as the starting shooting guard

He's Phil Jackson dude SMH.

And Kukoc wasn't just a "rookie" like he was coming out of college or some shyt. He played at the pro level for years prior to the NBA.

Those Bulls teams were all-star teams.

Those Bulls teams were all-star teams.

Jordan only played with one consistent all-star during both 3 peats and that's pippen.

The teams were well put together, and the pieces were in place.

Not to mention they were the oldest team in the league all 3 titles during the second

fukking bill Cartwright made an all-star team in the 80s or some shyt.

All star is a popularity contest anyways smh

Let's just leave out

2 of the best 3 point shooters ever.
One of the best Rebounder/Defenders Ever.
And of one of the best 2way players of the time.

Who? Kerr and BJ?

Meh, Kerr shot LESS than 2 three point attempts which is consistent with his era. I've NEVER heard anyone put him amongst the GOAT 3 point shooters regardless of era. You just looking at percentages. But whose second?

I'll concede with rodman regarding defense/rebounding

And Jordan on the 2way

But two of the best 3 point shooters EVER?

 

[DrexlersFade]

All I'm hearing in here is excuses Jordan was always the favorite The GOAT would be fukking dummies.

MJ still going platinum with nikkas making the same excuses in 2023

I'm guessing they are referring to how dominant he was, could be wrong.

But when you say Kerr is one of the goat 3 point shooters and that Chicago in fact had two of them is asinine

Percentages, ok.

But I'm looking at big game moments, him bailing them out from beyond the arc, etc.

Kerr hit 3s SOMETIMES. he has that two point assist from Jordan that they drew up in the huddle during the finals.

But I've never heard nor considered him amongst the best ever

When Pete Myers was with the Knicks prior to his time in the bulls, my boys at the park used to clown niqqas for having no game by calling them Pete Myers.

RIP to my man Shabba who used to stay saying that shyt.
